An ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills; 
MUSKMELONS 2% to 3 lbs. per acre. 
560 Delicious 51 (New) —Large Early Fruit—Fusarium Resistant. 
All the fine qualities of our famous Delicious melon—earliness, good size, sweet- 
ness and flavor—are combined with fusarium wilt resistance in this splendid new 
strain. Ripening at least a week ahead of Iroquois, it produces heavy yields of 
round, finely netted and moderately ribbed fruit, ideal for roadside stands and 
local trade. The sweet, juicy orange flesh is somewhat thicker and better flavored 
in the new Delicious 51, and we highly recommend it for early crop and for short 
season areas. The latest development by Dr. Munger of Cornell. See prices below. 
567 Honey Rock, Fusarium Resistant—An Excellent New Type. 
This has rapidly become one of our leading varieties, far superior to the old Honey 
Rock not only in fusarium resistance but also in uniformity and high yield. It is 
an early, long-bearing melon, medium-sized (4 to 5 lbs.), oval in shape with a 
heavy coarse netting. The fine-textured flesh is extra sweet and delicious. 
Our seed crop this past year was one of the most vigorous, uniform and produc- 
tive melon crops we ever grew and our customers report the same excellent re- 
sults. We found it best if picked at the “half-slip” stage. Highly recommended 
wherever medium-sized, high quality melons are in demand. See prices below. 
569 Iroquois —The Leading Variety for the Northeast. 
For markets where the larger sized melons are preferred, Iroquois is an ideal 
variety. It is a Bender type, resistant to fusarium wilt, and its delicious flavor, 
thick flesh and fine appearance have made it universally popular. 
The fruits are medium-large, round to oval in shape with prominent ribs and 
good netting; the rind is tough and holds up well in handling and shipping. The 
fine textured, thick flesh is deep orange in color and has consistently high flavor 
and sweetness. It ripens in midseason and is very prolific. See prices below.

564 Golden Delight (New)—Productive—Fine Quality 
The extremely thick flesh and superb quality of this large 
melon have made it an immediate success. Ripening in 
season with Iroquois, the fruit have a large oval shape, 
heavy netting and a blue-grey skin color turning to yel- 
low. The flesh is always sweet with a rich “musky” melon 
flavor, very thick, deep orange and of firm smooth texture. 
It is an earlier, larger melon of Market King type and a 
vigorous grower. An All-America Winner. Prices below.

570 Market King—Perfect Flavor—Best for Shipping. 
We are very glad that we can offer again our famous Market King, outstanding for its remark- 
ably uniform type, sweetness and high flavor. The medium-sized fruit grow evenly with a 
heavy netting and an attractive oval shape without deep ribs. The flesh is very thick with a 
small seed cavity, deep orange color and fine texture. The tough rind is blue-grey, ripening to 
deep yellow, and they stand shipping well. Market King is the best strain of Queen of Colorado 
type and a prolific bearer of the finest melons where seasons are fairly long. See prices below.

589 Rhode Island Red (New) —Best Early Red Fleshed Variety for the North. 
Dr. Desmond Dolan of Rhode Island has here perfected a combination of the wonderful sweet- 
ness of Honey Cream with the fine flavor and handling qualities of Dixie Queen. Early and 
productive, it has handsomely striped, oval fruit of ideal size—8 to 12 lbs. The rind is tough and 
the bright red flesh is smooth, firm and crisp with practically no interior cracking. 
Besides its earliness, its best feature is its deliciously sweet, real watermelon flavor, far bet- 
ter than most shipped-in melons. In trials and crops for the past three years, we have rated it 
the best on the farm. Seeds dark brown to tan. See prices below. 69, V, Ib. ih 10 Ib.
