(75 Days)—A strain 
No. 250. Wood’s Early Rocky Ford (75 Days)—& strain 
ness. It is a week to ten days earlier than the original Rocky 
Ford, like it in shape, but a little larger. The melons are heav- 
ily netted, have small seed cavity, firm and thick green flesh, 
and are attractive in both shape and color. The flavor is de- 
liciously sweet and spicy. It is early. prolific and of fine quality. 
This is just the melon to follow our Extra Early Hanover. It has 
that spicy flavor found only in the best cantaloupes. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; % lb. 70c, postpaid. Supply very limited. 
CULTURE—Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, moderately 
dry sandy soil, using well-rotted manure. When frost is over, 
plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill about one inch deep, and when 
well up, thin out, leaving four strong plants to the hill. Pinch off 
the ends of the vines when about a foot long; this will make them 
strong and bear more freely. Give frequent but shallow cultiva- 
tion till the vines cover the ground. Do not grow near cucumbers, 
squashes, etc. One ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds to the acre. 
— This is probably 
more generally grown

other .melon. It has 
held its place as a

licious eating quality 
and its ability to stand 
up under hard shipping 
conditions. About 6 
inches long, nearly 
round, densely covered 
with netting and al- 
most entirely without 
ribs. It is also a splen- 
did home garden melon.
