MELONS 
Muskmelons 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre. 
CULTURE—In sections where the Sum- 
mers are short, seed can be planted in- 
doors or in hot beds in small boxes. The 
young plants can be transferred to the 
garden when danger of frost is past. If 
practicable spade in a liberal forkful of 
well rotted manure at the bottom of each 
hill. The rows should be at least 6 feet 
apart and the hills 3 feet apart in the 
rows. In general, the culture is the same 
as that for Cucumber. 

*SKAGIT GOLDEN. This is the earliest 
muskmelon that we have ever seen and 
while muskmelons are not always satis- 
factory in Western Washington we believe 
that Skagit Golden will give good results 
here even in spite of the short growing 
season. If you have a warm early soil 
you will be delighted with this fine melon. 
The flesh is medium thick, sweet and 
juicy and of a rich salmon orange color. 
Pkg. 10c; oz. 35c. 
EMERALD GEM. One of the earliest of 
all muskmelons and therefore more nearly 
adaptable to the short growing seasons of 
this locality. The skin is smooth and of 
deep emerald green color. The flesh is 
thick and of a delicate salmon color. 
Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c. 
Watermelons 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre. 
CULTURE—Rich rather sandy soils pro- 
duce the finest crops of Watermelons, but 
a well-drained loam, especially with a 
southern exposure, is also suitable. Place 
6 to 8 seeds in a circle in each hill, and 
cover % inch deep with a fine soil. One 
ounce will plant 20 to 25 hills; 3 to 4 
pounds per acre. 
*SKAGIT GEM. A brand new water- 
melon just introduced into this country 
from Asia that is reported to be about 20 
days earlier than any other melon now 
used.. Medium small, oval, flesh pink and 
of excellent flavor. Our own trials have 
proven this to be the earliest watermelon 
for the Puget Sound area we have seen. 
Pkg; 10¢s0271550C.

the Northwest. Fruits medium-sized, and

Spring to midsummer in rovvs 18 inches 
apart. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the 
rows. The plants are in condition for use 
as soon as the leaves are the size of one’s 
hand. Mustard runs to seed quickly, so 
that successive plantings are necessary for 
a continuous supply. 
GIANT SOUTHERN CURLED. This va- 
riety grows about three feet tall. The 
broad leaves are cut and frilled. They 
are boiled and used as greens. Sometimes 
when the plants are about two inches tall

than parsnip in germinating. It grows 
best im rich mellow soil and should be 
sown as early as possible in spring in 
rows 1 to 2 feet apart with a covering of 
not more than % inch of soil firmly 
pressed down. When the plants are well 
up, thin them 8 to 12 inches apart.

YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. A great 
favorite. Round, large; yields heavy; 
early to ripen and a good keeper; best 
kind for Puget Sound. All onion growers 
like it. 
*x* SWEET SPANISH. This fine new onion 
is a very large, globe shaped, yellow 
onion. In flavor it is very mild and sweet 
and it has good, firm meat of tender tex- 
ture. It is one of the best for the home 
garden, and also for the early market. 
Planted at the proper time, and well 
cured it is a good keeper, and will ship 
as well as any other onion. 
*x* CRYSTAL WAX BERMUDA. An early 
pure white onion. Much in demand on 
account of its mild sweet flavor. Fine as 
green table onion or for cooking in the 
fall. Not a very good keeper for winter 
use. 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. This variety 
of red onion has proven so superior to all 
other red onions in recent years that we 
have omitted Red Wethersfield and Early 
Red from our list. Globe shape, flesh mild, 
fine grained, tender and of excellent 
flavor. 
WHITE BUNCHING. A variety of onion 
that is grown exclusively as a pulling 
onion or ‘“Scallion.’’ Generally pulled 
when not much larger than a lead pencil 
when they will be found extremely mild 
and sweet. 
WHITE QUEEN. This is the best onion 
for small pickles. It is one of the earliest 
onions grown. The bulbs average 1% 
inches in diameter and are pure white and 
very mild in flavor. They are also un- 
surpassed for very early table use.
