GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE: 90 days. Desirable 
for stock and poultry feeding; yields not only a very 
large crop but one that has higher nutritive value 
because it is especially rich in sugar. The roots are 
rose colored above ground, white below, with white 
flesh. On account of growing partly out of the 
ground and the long ovoid shape, the crop can be har- 
vested easily and at less expense than any other root 
crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; % lb. 40 cts.; lb. 
$1.50; 10 lbs. $14.00. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED: 110 days. The roots are 
very large, light red, uniformly straight and well 
formed. The flesh is white tinged with rose. This 
strain under careful culture is enormously produc- 
eae Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; % Ib. 60 cts.; Ib. 
DANISH YELLOW GIANT: 110 days. The roots 
grow to a very large size. They are deep yellow in 
color, not as long as Long Red, but larger around. 
They have small tops and very few side roots. They 
grow over two-thirds above the ground and can be 
harvested with little trouble. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
20 cts.; % lb. 60 cts.; 1 lb. $1.75. 
MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE 
Pkt. will plant 20 hills 
1 oz. will plant 100 hills 
Muskmelon seed may be started inside in clay pots, 
fertile pots or berry baskets and transplanted into the 
open ground as soon as all danger of frost is over; or 
the seed may be planted 8 to 10 seeds per hill 4 to 6 feet 
apart allowing 3 to 4 plants to each hill. Where seed is 
sown directly in the ground, it is advisable to cover the 
hills with hotents (see inside back cover) for protection 
against cool weather and insects. These hotents also 
allow earlier planting. If soil is dry do not put on ho- 
tents until plants start to come through the ground. A 
rich soil well fertilized is necessary for muskmelons. 
* IROQUOIS: 95 days. \ Anew high quality wilt resis- 
tant melon developed by the Plant Breeding Depart- 
ment of Cornell University. Iroquois is somewhat 
smaller than Bender, medium netted. Flesh bright 
orange, good texture and excellent flavor. Seed 
cavity is small. Iroquois was developed especially 
for sections where fusarium wilt is serious; however 
we feel that its uniform high quality makes it a 
desirable variety for other sections. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. 
85 cts.; %4 lb. $2.50; lb. $8.00. 
*SENECA DELICIOUS: 85 days. A small, early, 
well netted, orange fleshed melon of the Bender type. 
Not as large but far more uniform than the old 
Delicious. Seneca Delicious produces very heavy 
crops of high quality early melons weighing three 
to_ four pounds each. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 
1% Ib. $1.35; Ib. $4.00; 5 Ibs. $19.50. 
* SENECA BENDER: 95 days. Many growers have 
been looking for a uniform, medium-sized Bender 
with high quality flesh. We believe Seneca Bender 
isthe answer. ‘The vine is vigorous and very produc- 
tive. The melon which uniformly weighs from 5 to 6 
pounds shows the typical Bender netting, ribbing and 
large blossom end scar. The flesh is orange-yellow, 
firm and sweet. The uniform size and shape makes 
it adaptable to crating. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 
4 |b. $1.50; Ib. $4.75. 
BENDER, Eastern grown: 95 days. A melon averag- 
ing 7 to 8 lbs., heavily netted, with thick sweet orange 
yellow meat, firm but free from stringiness. Pkt. 
15 ay oz. 30 cts.; 1% lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00; 5 Ibs. 
$14.50. 
BENDER, Western grown seed: 95 days. In order 
to supply a trade that uses a cheaper seed we have 
secured a supply of seed of this variety from Colo- 
rado. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; % lb. 70 cts.; lb. 
$2.00; 5 Ibs. $9.50.
