GOLDEN CHAMPLAIN 
The Earliest 
341—(76 days.) Still the earliest 
and one of the very best in our trial 
gardens. Blossoms and sets fruit 
as soon as it starts to run. The 
melons are netted, ribs are promi- 
nent. Flesh is thick, sweet, of excel- 
lent quality and a beautiful golden 
yellow. An especially good melon 
for home and market gardéners in 
the northern part of the country.

warm, rich, sandy soil. Plant in hills, 6 
or 8 ft. apart, using about a dozen seeds to

bugs. (Gurney’s Bug Dust is the answer

Muskmelons. All the seed we offer comes 
from fields grown for seed purposes only; 
that means you get nothing but the best.
