February to April—August to October Resistant 
Sow seed 1 inch deep in loose, well-prepared soil. Thin to 2 to 4 inches N 1 
when well established. Plant several crops at intervals to assure an ample sup- 
ply: Best germination will be secured if ground is moist when seed is sown so no 
additional watering will be necessary until plants have broken through. Watering 
after seed is planted will form a surface crust that the plants often are unable 
to penetrate. One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 3 to 4 Ibs. to the acre. 
DANVERS HALF LONG. 75 days. A good late variety. 
Bright orange in color and richly flavored. Excellent keeper. 
A prime favorite because of its brilliant market appearance. 
Flesh tender and crisp. Our strain is outstanding. 
IMPERATOR. 77 days. A longer type root 7 to 8V inches 
long, graceful, smooth and uniformly tapered to a semi-blunt 
end. Flesh is rich orange-red and extends to center of root, 
with indistinct core. The dark green tops are medium, but 
strong enough for good bunching. Finest quality for table use. 
All carrots 5c pkt., 20c 0z., 70c '4 Ib. 
CANTELOUPES 
March to May, July 
Plant when all danger of frost is over in warm, sunny spot. Place 6 to 8 
seeds in slightly raised hills and cover with an inch of fine soil. Well rotted 
manure of fertilized peat moss shoveled under each hill will promote good growth. 
Thin to the three strongest plants per hill when plants are well established and 
pinch off the tips when about a foot long to make them branch out. This will 
make the fruit mature earlier. Soak soil well before planting seed so that no 
further moisture will be needed until seeds germinate. This prevents seed rotting. 
1 ounce will sow 50 hills; 2 to 3 Ibs. to the acre.

lar; 6-8 inches in diameter; skin golden yellow, tough, wrin-
