BUCHANAN’S CANTALOUPES 
CULTURE—Melons thrive best in light, rich soil. Plant Just as soon as 
the ground is warm, in hills 4 to 6 feet apart, according to the variety. 
Plant about 8 seeds to each hill, covering with about 1 inch of fine 
soil firmly pressed down. As plants develop cultivate well. Gradually 
thin out to two plants to the hill. When the vines begin to run freely, 
stop cultivation, except after a heavy rain.

210—QUEEN OF COLORADO OR PRIDE OF ‘WISCONSIN 
(85 days)—Oval in shape with tough, heavily netted rind with 
faint ribs. The flesh color is totally unlike other cantaloupes, 
being a deep, sparkling, golden orange. The seed cavity is small 
and closely packed. The flesh is thick, juicy and sweet, edible 
almost to the rind, and has no superior in eating qualities. Size 
6 by 6% inches, weight 5 pounds. It is one of the finest canta- 
loupes for both shipping and for home gardening yet introduced.

220—IMPERIAL No. 45 (80 days)—FORMERLY LISTED 
HALES BEST No. 45—This medium size, slightly oblong, mil- 
dew resistant melon approaches perfection in its class. Its 
outstanding advantages are its very heavy cropping even in 
the hottest driest season and it almost never shows spoilage 
in the field even when quite ripe. It also may be vine- 
ripened and still shipped long distances because it remains 
firm and in good edible condition longer than almost any 
other cantaloupe. The seed cavity is small and tightly packed 
with seed. The salmon-orange flesh is firm but not tough or 
stringy, and has a sweet, luscious, melting and superb flavor,

211—HALES BEST, JUMBO STRAIN (87 days)—Large 
fruited strain of the leading Hale variety, unexcelled for 
home use and local market. Melons oval, heavily netted, 
very uniform; flesh thick, salmon-orange, sweet and of ex- 
cellent quality. The perfect melon for markets.

219—ROCKY FORD (92 days)—The Improved Rust Resistant 
Strain continues to be a leader in its class. It has enjoyed 
wide use for many years and is well known everywhere that 
melons are produced. It is popular chiefly because of its 
extraordinary flavor. The spicy flavor of the green-fleshed 
Rocky Ford is difficult to improve upon.

212—HONEY DEW MELON (100 days)—This melon is un- 
like the ordinary muskmelon or cantaloupe, both in ap- 
pearance and flavor, the outer skin being smooth, hard and 
nearly white. The melons are large, round to oval in shape, 
extremely thick-meated and have a very small seed cavity; 
flesh is light green, very solid and of a rich honey-like 
flavor, luscious and juicy.

213—CRANSHAW (90 days)—The most unusual and delicious 
cantaloupe introduced to date. Egg-shaped and for exquisite 
sweetness and flavor it is distinctive and its quality has never 
been approached by any other melon. Medium large about 
5 pounds, color green before mature, and distinctly mottled 
orange and green when ripe. Thus you never pick an imma- 
ture melon. j

improved Rocky Ford is the finest gold lined strain and if 
you are growing for home use or nearby markets you will 
find this melon especially satisfactory. The flesh is thick and 
solid with a deep gold lining next to the seed cavity, shading 
to light green toward the rind. For sweetness and spiciness 
this popular variety is unexcelled.

222—BUCK BRAND (Surprise) (85 days)—The nearest thing 
to the old-fashioned muskmelon that you can get. Fruit 
slightly oblong, with a very thin, nearly smooth gray-green 
skin, distinctly ribbed; flesh thick and of deep salmon color. 
For flavor and size combined this is the king of all melons. 
Too large to be profitable except for local market—they often 
weigh 10 to 12 pounds—they are ideal for home use; one 
melon is enough for a family. Continues bearing till cold 
penne and pole its splendid quality up to the very last.
