Ibs. They are oval-shaped with blunt ends, skin dark green,

SOMETHING NEW 
in the watermelon line. In the not very distant future a class 
of melons, quite different from the standard varieties, will 
occupy the front on the stage. This is what we predict. These 
new melons have the following on their good side: Extreme 
earliness, high quality and high sugar content, thin rind 
eliminating waste, right size. They average ten pounds in 
weight, ice box or refrigerator size. There is only one draw- 
back—the flesh of these melons is not the popular bright 
deep red. Their flesh is orange, pink, yellow and even white. 
Who does not remember the time when Golden Bantam Sweet 
Corn was received coldly because of its yellow color. But 
not for long. It will do no harm to grow this new class of 
melons for trial and, for trial only, till the time when their 
superior qualities will be better known and when it will be 
possible to market them in large quantities. At present we 
are offering only one variety in this new class under the name 
of KAHOW. Will offer more varieties in time to come. 
HAVE YOU university education? If you have and if you 
had 100 university educations, you would not be really edu- 
cated unless you understood MONEY. A newspaper man re- 
garded by many as an extremely smart man, writing for a 
chain of newspapers, repeatedly states in his newspaper col- 
umn that nobody understands money. Well! If nobody under- 
stood money, the fix the world would find itself in would be 
the same as when people could not understand each other in 
every day conversation. It is EXTREMELY important to 
understand money. You will understand money, you also will 
understand WHY the depression is on, why so many are near 
starvation, in short you will get wise and you will know a 
great deal more than you may know now, if you will read 
“The Book”, which we will mail to you for only 25 cents.

Se he c 
MUSTARD BAKTOY 
Different from other mustards and of all “greens” the king. 
Resembles an immense head of lettuce, but the leaves have very 
prominent midribs, exceedingly tender and juicy. The hearts are 
most excellent to be eaten raw elther as celery or with salad dressing 
as a salad proper. Boiled or stewed no other greens quite equal it 
in tenderness and exquisite flavor, The whole plant is remarkably 
succulent, crisp and tender. All who have tried Baktoy are hearty 
{in their praises of its flavor and high quality. Of quick growth, can 
be sowed in the spring, and again for a fall crop. Baktoy will stand 
nearly six weeks and all this time will remain in prime condition 
and shoots to seed only when the weather is quite dry and hot, 
Baktoy will be popular upon first trial and should appeal to growers 
who cater to a special trade where quality is appreciated. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 15c; 1 Ib. $1.00; 10 lbs, $8.00.
