Yellow fleshed Honey Cream doesn’t show up too well in a picture 
but we can assure you that Orson and the photographer enjoyed 
the melon after the picture was taken-—Don’t ask where the other 
half is. 


Reuben has charge of cultivating and controlling weeds in the 
small seed crops such as tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, beets, etc. 
grown on the farms. It was a tough job this past year and he has 
reason to be pleased with the crop of John Baer tomatoes being 
picked for Certified seed. 
WATERMELON 
Pkt. will plant 10 hills 
Watermelons require a light, well drained soil and 
plenty of fertilizer. We suggest in the North that the 
plants either be started inside in bands or fertile pots 
and transplanted to the open ground after danger of 
frost is past; or, the seed may be planted under Hotents. 
Either method will insure an early crop of delicious 
melons. 
Honey Cream is the best early watermelon. Its 
delicious golden yellow flesh and thin rind make it 
unique among watermelon varieties. 
*440 HONEY CREAM: 82 days. Honey Cream is 
a prolific watermelon of excellent quality. The fruits 
are large, nearly round and light green with darker 
green stripes. The flesh is golden yellow, firm, and 
of excellent quality. We recommend Honey Cream 
for the home garden and roadside stand. Pkt. 15c;
