569 IROQUOIS MELON. New Resistant Bender Type. 
his new medium-sized melon has 
such uniformly fine flavor and thick flesh that.it has quickly become a 
great favorite. It was developed for resistance to fusarium wilt and is 
the only kind to grow on infected soil. It is also ideal in all sections 
where the Bender type is preferred. 
The fruits are a little smaller, but look much like Benders, with 
prominent ribs and heavy netting, and they have a thin tough rind 
that stands handling and shipping. The flesh is very thick, smooth, 
fine grained and sweet, and the color is an excellent deep orange. 
Ripens about the same time as Benders and the vigorous vines hold up 
well till frost. Try some Iroquois this year.

558 BENDER’S SURPRISE. Harris’ Special Strain. Our strain of Bender’s

any other large melon. Home and market gardeners have found its large heavy fruit 
and delicious flavor unbeatable. Bred here on our own farms for many years, our 
special strain has been constantly improved for thickness of flesh and high quality, 
and is by far the best large melon obtainable. See complete description on page 4.

HOTKAPS and HOTENTS 
for Melons 
These wax paper cones act as miniature 
hot houses when placed over the melon plant 
or hill of seed. They keep the soil warm and 
protect the young plants from insects, frost, 
wind and beating rains. See Hotkaps and 
Hotents on page 84. 

It is Not Hard to Raise Melons 
Jt is much easier to raise melons than is usually supposed and they are 
so delicious that everyone who has a sunny garden should have some. All 
that is required is a good rich soil, that is not too heavy, and a warm, 
sunny situation. Our pamphlet, “Cultivation of Vegetables” tells about 
raising muskmelons; ask for it with your order. 
COPPER-ROTENONE for Bugs and Blight 
One of the greatest helps in growing melons is regular use of the right 
dust, applied frequently but lightly throughout the season. Copper- 
Rotenone not only controls bugs but prevents blight and is the best for 
this purpose. For spraying, use Copper Spray (COCS) and NNOR— 
Rotenone Spray. See page 83. 
560 DELICIOUS. The Earliest Large Sweet Melon. If you 
want early large, high quality melons in your 
garden, plant our Delicious. These melons are good-sized, round, 
moderately ribbed and of sweet delicious flavor. This strain of our own 
growing is outstanding for large yields of uniformly fine fruit, ripening 
very early in the season. See photo and complete description on page 4.

568 HONEY ROCK or Sugar Rock. This melon is highly popular in

melons are very attractive, medium in size, round, with a coarse heavy 
netting. The flesh is firm, thick, deep orange in color, very sweet and of 
delicious flavor. Ripens shortly after Delicious and earlier than Bend- 
er’s. A very productive type and fine for home gardens.

strain of this melon which is popular in many sections. The melons 
are almost perfectly round, thickly netted and very firm with thick 
flesh of deep orange color. The flesh is sweet and of excellent flavor. 
The melons grow to medium size and are excellent for shipping as they 
“hold up” well.

570 MARKET KING. Superb Quality. The demand for fine 
24 
flavor in melons never lets up, so it is no 
wonder that Market King is so tremendously popular. The distinctive 
flavor is so uniformly fine that we have actually cut hundreds of these 
melons without finding a poor one. 
The melons are medium sized, weighing 4 to 5 lbs. and have an 
attractive and very uniform oval shape. The rind is blue-gray, turning 
golden when ripe and the netting is distinct and prominent. The flesh 
is remarkably thick and it is of beautiful deep orange color, firm, fine- 
grained, and always sweet with a wonderful flavor. 
Market King ripens about a week later than Bender’s Surprise and 
the melons are borne in great abundance on strong healthy vines. 
Because of the unusual vigor of this variety, the vines will often remain 
green, healthy and productive right up until frost.
