MUSKMELON, LAKE CHAMPLAIN 
Muskmelons 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre 
Culture. In sections where the Summers are 
short, seed can be planted indoors or in hot 
beds in small boxes. The young plants can 
be transferred to the garden when danger of 
frost is past. The rows should be at least 6 
feet apart and the hills 3 feet apart. 
Lake Champlain (Skagit Golden). This is the 
earliest muskmelon that we have ever seen 
and while muskmelons are not always satis- 
factory in Western Washington we believe 
that Skagit Golden will give good results. 
If you have a warm early soil you will be de- 
lighted with this fine melon. The flesh is 
medium thick, sweet-and juicy and of a rich 
salmon orange color. Pkt. 15c¢; oz. 40c. 
Watermelons 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre 
Culture. Rich rather sandy soils produce 
the finest crops of Watermelons, but a well- 
drained loam, especially with a southern ex- 
posure, is also suitable. Place 6 to 8 seeds 
in a circle in each hill, and cover % inch 
deep with a fine soil. One ounce will plant 
' 20 to 25 hills. 
Early Arizona (Skagit Gem). Medium small, 
oval, flesh pink and of excellent flavor. Our 
own trials have proven this to be the earliest 
watermelon for the Puget Sound area we 
have seen. Pkt. 15c; oz. 40c.

Yellow Globe Danvers. A great favorite. 
Round, large; yields heavy; early to ripen 
and a good keeper; best kind for Puget 
Sound. All onion growers like it. 
Sweet Spanish. A very large, globe shaped, 
yellow onion. In flavor it is very mild and 
sweet and it has good, firm meat of tender 
texture. It is one of the best for the home 
garden, and also for the early market. 
Planted at the proper time, and well cured 
it is a good keeper. 
Crystal Wax Bermuda. An early pure white 
onion. Much in demand on account of its 
mild sweet flavor. Fine as green table onion 
or for cooking in the fall. Not a very good 
keeper for winter use. 
Southport Red Globe. This variety of red 
onion has proven superior to all other red 
onions in recent years. Globe shape, flesh 
awe fine grained, tender and of excellent 
avor. 
White Bunching. A variety of onion that is 
grown exclusively as a pulling onion or 
“Seallion.” Generally pulled when not much 
larger than a lead pencil when they will be 
found extremely mild and sweet. 
White Queen. This is the best onion for small 
pickles. It is one of the earliest onions 
grown. The bulbs average 1% inches in 
diameter and are pure white and very mild 
in flavor. They are also unsurpassed for very 
early table use.
