of it as we do other kinds. If your soil is so bad- 
ly infested with wilt that you cannot grow 
tomatoes, this is the kind for you to plant. 
Packet (150 live seed) 15c. 
TRIPL-CROP CLIMBING TOMATO: The 
kind you see advertised that “grows 20 feet

not proven very good with us, but we have 
many calls for it, and can furnish you real 
first-class seed. Packet (100 live seed) 10c. 
MARGLOBE: Another disease-resistant 
tomato, much like Break O’Day, except not so 
real early, and has more seed. Packet (500 
live seed) 10c; oz. 50c; 1/4 lb. $1.75. 
RUTGERS: Fruits are real large, round, 
dark red, and free of cracking. It comes 
n-arer bearing all summer and fall, for us, 
than any large kind, except our Porter’s 
Triumph. Packet (500 live seed) 10c; oz. 50c; 
1/4 lb. $1.75. 
BURBANK: Real early. Packet (500 live

are bright red, while Earliana fruits are dark 
red. Packet (500 live seed) 10c; oz. 50c;

serving tomato comes from Canada. Fruits 
are small, round, so firm they are really

after ripening. Sweeter than other tomatoes— 
ieal for preserves. and fine for making juice. 
Every family that likes tomato preserves 
should grow a few vines. Packet (50 live 
seed) 10c. 

Porter’s Giant Watermelon 
(Perfected Florida Giant) 
Note: In working to make Florida Giant a better 
melon, we have changed it until it can no longer be 
called by its old name. With pride, we have given it 
our name. 
Without any doubt, it is the biggest of all 
melons; one of its ancestors weighed 152 
pounds. Every summer you read about them 
in the farm papers that weighed over 100 
pounds. Under good conditions, you can ex- 
pect an average of 75 pounds or more, if you 
leave only 3 or 4 to the vine. 
In our efforts to improve it, we have kept 
SIZE in mind, but we have tried hardest to 
make the quality finer, and to make it better 
able to stand drouth, and keep longer after 
ripening. 
Porter’s Giant and Black Diamond were 
evidently both originated from the old Triumph, 
which was big, but poor in quality. Porter’s 
Giant grows larger than Black Diamond, 
slightly longer in shape, more uniform, makes 
better on poor soil, or with light rainfall, and 
keeps longer after ripening, and the quality 
is better. 
Shape is oblong, rind a dark, glossy green, 
flesh firm, bright red. We get many reports 
about the better flavor. Of course, this makes 
it a better market melon, as it means more 
repeat sales. People buy them first because 
they’re so big and handsome, and later be- 
cause they’re so supremely good. Flavor is 
uniformly good, and of the tens of thousands 
we have cut, we have never found even ONE 
ripe melon with a hard or white heart. Surely 
this is a world’s record! 
‘We never sell even one melon until the best 
are seeded, as we grow them strictly as a 
SEED crop—for YOU, who trust us with 
your orders—to plant. 
Packet (50 live seed) 15c; oz. T5c; 38 ozs. 
$2.00; lb. $7.50. 
PORTER’S GOLDEN GIANT: This is a 
true companion to Porter’s Giant. Nearly as 
big, same shape, same fine, firm quality, the 
same hardiness that enables it to make under. 
unfavorable conditions. Flesh is golden 
yellow, rind dark, mottly green. It keeps well, 
after ripening. We kept some in our back 
yard for 32 days after they were ripe, and 
they were still good.

Pride O’ Texas Watermelon 
Some years ago a customer of ours, who 
had developed a new melon, sent us his stock 
seed, with the request that we grow and sell 
the seed, as he had grown too old to keep it 
up. Because of his nice request, we planted a 
s~vall plat—and we never saw such a wonder- 
ful melon crop. 
Fruits weigh 18 to 24 pounds, are perfectly 
‘round, the dark-striped rind is thin and very 
tough, flesh the deepest red—the sweetest 
melon we ever tasted. 
It actually grows nearly a dozen of these 
delicious melons on one vine. We believe it 
makes more tons per acre, or per row, than 
the big kinds. It is hardy and drouth-resistant, 
and the melons stay good a long time after 
ripening.
