factory especially when grown for early crop to

GREAT LAKES 
Bronze Medal award for 1944. This is of the Im- 
perial type which is so largely used by truck 
gardeners. What chiefly distinguishes Great 
Lakes from other varieties of the Imperial type 
is its increased resistance to tip-burn injury and 
greater ability to produce solid heads under ad- 
verse conditions. The leaves are large, relatively 
thick, folding well over the head so that when 
unwrapped they give large pieces desirable for 
salads.

has proven very favorable and fitted to western 
climatic conditicas, but does not meet adversities 
like Great Lakes. Produces a high percentage of 
marketable heads which are medium large, well 
formed, and not as rough as Great Lakes. Leaves, 
thick, dark green, and heavily curled.

pleased with Imperial No. 44, either on muck or

CULTURE 
One ounce of seed is sufficient for 50 hills; 2 
pounds per acre. Plant in May and June, Melons 
do best in sandy soil or sod land; the ground 
should be made rich. The hills should be 4 to 6 
feet apart with 10 to 12 seeds in each hill. Put 
the seeds an inch deep and when danger of frost 
is over, thin to four good plants to a hill. Culti- 
vation should be kept up as long as possible.
