Schling ‘ ONae 
MIDGET Watermelon 
We present with pride the newest member of the 
family of famous Schling introductions. The Midget 
Watermelon will be a standard garden subject for 
many gardeners who have never considered or at- 
tempted the growing of Watermelons in their own 
home gardens, or in latitudes north of Philadelphia. 
The outstanding feature of this delicious Melon, 
developed at the New Hampshire Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station for northern climates, is its extreme 
earliness. It matures fully on August 15th from 
June Ist sowing, and later sowings are also satis- 
factory. The illustration depicts the beauty of the 
fruit, but the flavor must be described. All who have 
tasted it acclaim its flavor as the sweetest Melon 
they have ever eaten. The size of the fruits is ap- 
proximately 7 inches long and 6 inches in diameter, 
making it a perfect size for the refrigerator. 50c 
NEW PURPLE GROSS sweer corn 
We consider Purple Cross the outstanding development in Hybrid Sweet Corn since Sweet Corn Hy- 
brids were first introduced. The development of this beautiful and delicious Sweet Corn at the Con- 
necticut State Agricultural Experiment Station reads like a fairy story in plant hybridization, but the 
facts are entirely too technical to be presented here. Let it suffice to say, however, that out of fifty 
sample packets sent to various growers throughout the country the reports were unanimously enthu- 
siastic. The novelty of growing a beautiful Purple 
Corn in the garden is completely overshadowed when 
the ears are eaten. Many trial growers of this variety 
have reported that it seems to be impervious to corn 
borer. Our experiments along these lines have not 
been conclusive enough to substantiate this claim, but 
the real feature of the Corn is its unusual coloration 
and delicious flavor. We predict that it will become 
a standard garden and market variety. Seed limited. 
Price: $1.00 per pkt.; 6 pkts. for $5.00.
