Muskmelon 
One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds an acre 
Schoon’s Hard Shell. An improved early 
gray-green variety with large, slightly 
oblong, coarsely netted, distinctly ribbed { 
melons weighing from 5 to 8 pounds. The ¢ 
flesh is bright salmon and of very fine § 
flavor. The rind is tough and hard, mak- | 
ing it an excellent shipper. 
Hearts of Gold XXX. This de luxe strain 
is the result of a special selection for 
earliness, larger size, and better shipping 
qualities. Melon growers quickly recog- 
nized the worth of our Hearts of Gold 
XXX. The heavily netted oval melons, 
534 inches across, have a tough rind as thin as an orange peel. The very thick 
golden yellow flesh leaves a seed-cavity of only 134 inch diameter, and the deli- 
cious flavor is hard to beat. Resists drought and ships exceptionally well. 
Honey Rock (Sugar Rock). The deep orange flesh is the most Iuscious and sweetest 
of its type. Melons are oval-round, without ribs, about 5 by 6 inches, covered with 
heavy, coarse netting. They are light gray-green, turning to light golden when 
ripe. The hard shell stands distant shipping very well. The melons ripen early 
and the vines are extremely productive. 
Jersey Gold. Remarkable late variety—the kind the buyers literally come hunting 
for. The very sweet, clear salmon flesh is unusually deep and can be eaten right 
down to the l%-inch rind. Moderately netted, heavily corded, pale green, oval 
Melons, 7 by 6 inches, that weigh 4 to 514 pounds. Best flavor of any. 
Bender’s Surprise. Large, oval-round melons, from 9 to 12 pounds, with greenish yellow skin, 
coarse netting and distinct ribs. The thick orange flesh ts sweet and of fine flavor. 
Honey Rock Muskmelon 
Hale’s Best No. 45, Mildew-resistant. One of the very best all-round early melons and un- 
surpassed for shipping. Resists powdery mildew. Oval melons are 6 by 5 inches, with 
heavy net; the salmon flesh is very thick, with small seed-cavity. 
Pride of Wisconsin. Oval-round, 7 x 614 inch, heavily netted yellow gray melons with only 
faint ribbing. The deep orange flesh is sweet and very thick.
