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 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. ;

220—TEXAS RESISTANT No. 1 (60 days)—Defies Aphids and 
Downy Mildew and also shows decided resistance to melon 
worm, therefore requires very little dusting or spraying. The 
fruits are a desirable size, about 5 to 6 inches x 5 inches with 
moderate netting and firm rind. The flesh is a rich salmon, firm, 
sweet and of excellent flavor. A vigorous grower and heavy 
yielder. Its outstanding advantages make it one of the best 
melons for home use and local market developed in recent 
years.

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 cantaloupes for both ship- 
ping and for home gardening yet introduced.

Strain continues to be a leader in its class. It has enjoyed 
wide use for many years and is well known everywhere that

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.

days)—The superb market favorite. Extra early variety 
averaging 2% lbs. The rich salmon flesh is very thick, firm,

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 oa 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 farnily. Continues bearing till cold 
weather and holds its splendid quality up to the very last.
