560 Delicious 
The Largest and Best Early Melon 
One of the most profitable melons to grow for 
local market. and roadside stands. Our special 
strain produces good sized, handsome, high 
quality melons ripening nearly two weeks be- 
fore Bender’s Surprise and they bring the high- 
est prices. They are uniform in shape, moder- 
ately ribbed and well netted and the flesh is 
remarkably thick and delicious to eat for such 
and early variety. The vines make a good vig- 
orous growth and produce tremendous yields. 
They will not stand long distance shipping 
but the remarkable sweetness and flavor of the 
melons grown from our strain makes them ideal 
for early crop on nearby markets. See 
prices on next page.

Medium Size Bender Type of High Quality — 
Resistant to Fusarium Wilt 
Dr. Henry Munger of Cornell University 
developed this new melon asa medium size 
Bender type with resistance to fusarium 
wilt, and it is the only kind that should be 
planted on infected soil. It has such uni- 
formly fine quality thatithasalready wonan 
important place in all sections where the 
smaller type of Bender melon is preferred. 
The fruits are round to oval in shape 
with prominent ribs and good netting; the 
rind is tough and holds up well. The fine 
textured thick flesh is deep orange in color 
and has consistently high flavor and un- 
usual sweetness. Iroquois ripens about in 
season with Bender’s and the vines make a 
vigorous healthy growth, producing good
