YOU CAN DEPEND ON Batons Seeds 
CANTALOUPE OR MUSKMELON 
CULTURE—For early melons, seeds can be planted in paper pots and set in cold frames. After the danger of frost, transplant to 
the open ground in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way. If possible, use well rotted manure in each hill. If seeds are planted in open 
ground, plant about 10 seeds in different parts of the hill, just under the surface of the soil. When plants are well up, thin out to 
3 or 4 to the hill. Rotenone is a very effective remedy against enemies of the Cantaloupe crop.

BERMUDA ONION PLANTS 
Large, flat, mild and sweet, they are delicious and easily grown plants. Set them three 
inches apart in the rows and pull every other one for a green onion, this allows double 
use of the same space and gives the remaining onions plenty of room to reach their 
enormous size. Lift mature onions only when dry, cut off tops to onion and place upside 
down for two or three weeks before storing for winter. 
Our plants are grown in the south and we generally can supply Yellow Bermuda 
and Crystal Wax plants during March and first part of April. They are tied in bundles 
of approximately 100 each.
