569 Iroquois 
The Finest Variety 
Iroquois has in addition to its resistance to 
fusarium wilt, such uniformly excellent quality, 
thick crisp flesh and fine appearance that it has 
become the leading variety in the Northeast. 
Not only on infected soil but for practically all 
melon growers, Iroquois is ideal. 
The fruits are medium-large, round to oval 
in shape with prominent ribs and good netting; 
the rind is tough and holds up well. The fine 
textured, thick flesh is deep orange in color and 
has consistently high flavor and unusual sweet- 
ness. Iroquois ripens about in season with 
Bender’s and the vigorous vines are very pro- 
lific. See prices below. 
558 Bender’s Surprise 
Harris’ Special Strain Is The Best Big Melon 
Still one of the leading large melons for the 
East, our strain has no equal for combined 
large size, attractive appearance, fine flavor 
and long keeping qualities. 
We have bred and grown this stock for many 
years here on our own farm, selecting for high 
quality, earliness and trueness to type, and our 
special strain will give you the finest bzg melons. 
See prices below. 
560 Delicious 
The Largest and Best Early Melon 
One of the most profitable melons to grow for 
local market and roadside stands because of 
its earliness. With our strain you can get fine 
good-sized melons almost two weeks before 
Iroquois or Bender’s and thus get highest 
prices. The melons are moderately ribbed and 
well netted, and the flesh is quite thick for 
such an early variety. The vines make a good 
vigorous growth and yield heavily. 
They will not stand long distance shipping 
but the remarkable sweetness and flavor of 
the melons grown from our strain makes them 
ideal for early crop on nearby markets. See 
prices below. 
MARKET KING 
We regret that we have no seed to offer of 
our famous Market King melon this year 
because of failure of our seed crops. In its 
place we suggest Queen of Colorado, a 
good strain of similar type and the best 
available substitute. 
IROQUOIS—Thick flesh of wonderful quality.
