Rocky Ford, or Netted Gem. ana “a” gooa sere for either 
home or market. The fruit is rather small, almost round, and the

however, it is not as good as the Delicious Gold Lined Rocky Ford.

and “Netted Gems” are to be had which have little in common with

One-half ounce will plant a row of 100 feet 
in hills; 2 to 3 lbs., for an acre in hills. 
Culture: A rich but light and well-drained soil is needed to produce 
the best results. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep from April to June in 
hills not less than 8 feet apart each way. Avoid planting until the 
warm weather has become settled, as the vines will never thrive if 
checked by cold. After the first plowing, cultivation must be shallow 
and “laid by’ as soon as the ground is well covered.
