584 NORTHLAND HYBRID. Harris’ New First Early 
Watermelon. This sensation- 
al first generation (F,) hybrid is outstanding for earliness, vigor, 
yield and quality. Created and grown exclusively by us, it meets the 
need for a red-fleshed watermelon that will really do well in the 
North. The fruit are medium-sized, attractively striped, with rich 
red flesh of fine flavor and sweetness. If you have had difficulty 
growing good watermelons before, try this one. See photo and full 
description on inside front cover.

582 HONEY CREAM. Very Early—Sweet Yellow Flesh. 
This distinctive variety is excellent for 
short season areas, for it ripens as early as an Iroquois melon, and 
has a wonderful sweet flavor. The crisp, creamy yellow flesh is the 
badge of quality both for home use and roadside stands. Nearly 
round in shape, attractively striped with a thin rind, Honey Cream 
is a heavy-yielding type with unusual sweetness, and we can highly 
recommend it for the North. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 144 Lb. $1.40; 144 Lb. $2.50.

581 DIXIE QUEEN. The Favorite Watermelon. Everyone 
knows and likes Dixie Queen, the attrac- 
tively striped watermelons that are shipped from the South in early 
summer. They can be grown very well in our climate and will produce 
large crops of delicious fruit a few days later than Honey Cream. The 
melons are of good size, somewhat oval in shape with deep pink flesh 
of most excellent quality. The rind is thin but hard so they stand 
handling well. One of our most popular varieties.

585 STONE MOUNTAIN. (Sometimes known as ‘‘Dixie Belle.’’) 
Large, high quality oval-round variety with smooth dark green skin. 
The flesh is deep red, fine-grained and of sweet rich flavor. Ripens 
just after Dixie Queen. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 70c; 4% Lb. $1.10. 
591 WONDER MELON. The largest and best of the oblong varieties 
which can be successfully raised here in the North. We can highly 
recommend this variety both for the home garden and roadside 
stand. The melons are oblong in shape with dark green skin and the 
flesh is deep bright red and of very fine quality.

variety. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 70c; 44 Lb. $1.10.

Honey Cream 
Its yellow flesh is a sign of high quality. 
580 CITRON MELON—COLORADO PRESERVING. Green 
Seeded. Used for preserves, sweet pickles and candied fruit. The 
melons are round, handsomely marbled and striped with dark green. 
The rind and flesh are solid and clear white, making excellent pre- 
serves. This green-seeded strain is much larger and better than the 
red-seeded and bears well even here in the North.

OKRA or Gumbo 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Used for thickening and flavoring soup and as a vegetable. The pods 
contain a large amount of gum, which gives the soup a thicker, richer 
consistency. Pick the young pods while they are small and tender. Sow 
in the open ground as soon as the soil is thoroughly warm. Sow in rows 
21% feet apart and thin to 15 inches. 
598 DWARF GREEN LONG POD. This fine variety is better for 
short season areas than the Perkins type we formerly offered. It has 
the same fine quality and abundant yields but is earlier with more 
compact plants. The pods are deep green, somewhat ribbed, ideal 
for home use, and of the type preferred by quality soup canners. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 50c; 1% Lb. 80c. 
PARSLEY 
A packet will sow 50 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet. 
Parsley takes up very little room in the garden and is always appreciated for garnishing and 
flavoring. Sow in the spring or summer where the plants can be left until the following spring. 
Some plants can be transplanted into boxes of earth and kept in a light cellar or kitchen window 
for winter use. 
635 PARAMOUNT. The Best Parsley. Produces the most attractive and finest 
curled parsley we have ever seen, and absolutely uniform. The 
color is a beautiful rich deep green and there are no flat leaves. The plants are dwarf and

631 CHAMPION or Triple Moss Curled. This is a rapid growing kind and a very good all 
round parsley. The leaves are well curled, medium green in color and of upright growth with 
good stems. Widely used by market gardeners because of its strong quick growth. 
Pktel0erOzac2ocy 34 Ds OG: 
637 PERFECTION. An excellent vigorous parsley with very finely curled leaves. The color is 
deep emerald green and most attractive. Grows more rapidly than Paramount and makes 
larger, more upright plants with longer stems, and is preferred by many growers for this 
reason. Highly recommended for both market and home gardeners.

like parsnips, they have a very pleasing flavor. They are also valuable to add flavor to soups 
and stews. They can be stored in sand and used all winter. We offer an improved market 
gardeners’ strain with uniformly smooth, thick roots 5 to 6 inches long.
