WOOD'S CANTALOUPE or MUSKMELON 
Colorado Grown—Plant in May and June 
CULTURE—Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, moderately dry 
sandy soil, using well-rotted manure. When frost is over, plant 10 to 12 
seeds in each hill about one inch deep, and when well up, thin out, leav- 
ing four strong plants to the hill. Pinch off the ends of the vines when 
about a foot long; this will make them strong and bear more freely. 
Give frequent but shallow cultivation till the vines cover the ground. One 
ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds to the acre. 
Hale's Best Jumbo 
256. HALE'S BEST—JUMBO STRAIN 
A larger strain than the well known Hale's Best No. 36, largely grown 
for roadside markets and delivery by truck to city markets. The melons 
are slightly oval, weigh 5 to 6 pounds, heavily netted and more ribbed 
than No. 36. The salmon flesh is thick, sweet and of excellent quality. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 4 lb. 80c, postpaid. 
260. HALE'S BEST No. 36 or H. B. 
This is probably more generally grown commercially than any other 
melon. It has held its place as a shipper on account of its earliness, 
thick meat, fine texture, delicious eating quality and its ability to stand 
up under hard shipping conditions. About 6 inches long, nearly round, 
densely covered with netting and almost entirely without ribs. It is also 
a splendid home market melon. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 35c; '/4 Ib. 80c, postpaid. 
257. PRIDE OF WISCONSIN (90 Days) 
Splendid variety either for home gardens or market gardeners. Fruits 
are nearly round, very coarse netting, orange flesh, solid and thick 
with very small seed cavity. Very sweet and of fine flavor. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 35c; 1/4 Ib. 80c, postpaid. 
251. IMPROVED ROCKY FORD JR. (80 Days) 
An early rust and blight resistant type of Rocky Ford, but somewhat 
larger. A vigorous grower, the vines keep green and produce big 
crops of beautifully netted melons. The green flesh is thick, the seed 
pocket small; the netting is close and deep; the flavor is deliciously 
sweet. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; '/4 Ib. $1.00, postpaid. 
255. HEARTS OF GOLD (90 Days} 
The thick orange flesh is deliciously sweet, juicy and spicy right down 
to the thin rind. Nearly round and covered with a dense gray netting 
that is insect resistant; it is also blight resistant. About six inches long 
and usually weigh about two pounds. Highly recommended for home 
garden and market. Pkt. 10; 0z. 35c; /4 Ib. 80c, postpaid.

252. ROCKY FORD NETTED GEM (85 Days) 
The original Rocky Ford. The green flesh is thick, with a small cavity; 
has that spicy flavor that makes a cantaloupe so delicious. Slightly 
ribbed, well covered with fine netting and uniform in size and shape. 
Pkt. 10c; 0z. 35c; 4 Ib. 80c, postpaid. 
259. LARGE HACKENSACK or Turk's Cap (85 Days) 
Once called a muskmelon. The fruits are large, nearly round, flattened 
at the ends, has wide slices; is densely netted; the flesh is thick, sweet 
and juicy. Recommended only for the home garden and nearby mar- 
ket. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 35c; 1/4 |b. 80c, postpaid. 
247. EXTRA EARLY 
HANOVER (70 Days) 
The earliest cantaloupe 
in cultivation, ripening 
fully ten days ahead of 
the Rocky Ford. Notwith- 
standing its extreme ear- 
liness, it makes a large 
melon, round, slightly 
flattened at the ends and 
well netted. The flesh is 
green, thick and can be 
eaten to the very thin 
skin. In earliness, Extra 
Early Hanover is without 
a competitor. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 40c; '/4 |b. 90c, post- 
paid. Extra Early Hanover 
254. LONG JOHN (85 Days) 
The melons usually average 8 to 10 inches long, but often grow to 12 
inches in length. Oblong in shape, distinctly ribbed and heavily net- 
ted; green fleshed, thick meated and of most delicious spicy flavor. 
when marketed it commands highest prices. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; 4 Ib. 
$1.00, postpaid. 
253. GOLD LINED ROCKY FORD (85 Days) 
In delicious flavor excels the ordinary Rocky Ford; is slightly longer 
and a few days later. The rich golden meat is thick, fine grained, and 
deliciously sweet and juicy and can be eaten right down to the rind. 
Melons are covered with closely laced gray netting except a narrow 
strip between the ribs. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; '/4 Ib. 80c, postpaid. 
249. EARLY KNIGHT (Maryland or Sweet Air) (80 Days) 
In earliness Knight ranks next to our Extra Early Hanover and Early 
Rocky Ford. A happy combination of earliness, productiveness and 
quality. Nearly oval shaped, densely netted, of good size with thick 
green flesh; very luscious and ripens close to the skin. Uniform in size, 
averaging 7 to 8 inches long, 5 to 6 inches across. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 
V4 Ib. 80c, postpaid. 
261. HOLLYBROOK LUSCIOUS (90 Days) 
For flavor and size, this is the king of all melons. Too large to be 
profitable for the market—they often weigh 15 to 20 lbs.—they are 
ideal for home use; one melon is enough for one family. The flavor is 
equal to that of a Honey Dew melon. Continues bearing till cold 
weather and holds its splendid quality up to the very last. Crop failed.
