Burrell's Improved Watters' Solid Net Rocky Ford Cantaloupe
Do Not Plant This Variety If Vines Rust In Your District. This Solid Net Cantaloupe is the earliest strain of Rocky Ford Cantaloupe.

Burrell's New Golden Honey Dew
I developed this melon from the Green Meated Honey Dew. The Golden Honey Dew has rich golden orange flesh, spicy and sweet. It is a long keeper, earlier and a little smaller than the Green Meated Honey Dew. I sold seed of the Golden Honey Dew to an extensive shipper, who said his sales on it were better than on the Green Meated and he considered it would prove a better sort for extensive planting. The supply of seed is short. Price-(10c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (45c per ¼ lb.) ($1.50 per lb.) ($1.35 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) ($1.25 per lb. In 50 lb. Lots) prepaid.

Burrell's Oblong Type Hearts of Gold Cantaloupe
This melon, when first introduced, averaged shorter from stem to blossom than from top to bottom. I have carefully selected to an oblong type and now offer seed from my fields which average fully 90 per cent of the oblong type. This has resulted in a deeper meat and a very desirable shipper. Size a little larger than the standard Rocky Ford. Color of meat a rich orange, flavor very good. It is an excellent melon, and I recommend that you give it a thorough trial. Excellent records were made with this variety in Nevada, Washington, Michigan, Tennessee and other states where a large acreage was grown for market. One of my customers shipped 54 carloads from sixty acres and they sold fifty per cent above the regular market at that time. His cash returns after deducting freight and commission was $25,843.59. How is that for 60 acres in one year? Several large distributors have already purchased my seed of this variety for 1927 planting. Price-Stock Seed Burrell's Hearts of Gold, saved from ideal types such as shown in photo-(10c per pkt.) (20c per oz.) (65c per ¼ lb.) ($2.50 per lb.) ($2.35 in 10-lb. Lots) ($2.25 in 100-lb.

Burrell's Special Extra Early Osage Musk Melon
This is another fine melon for nearby market. Weight about 6 pounds, very uniform, and of excellent quality. The deep flesh is orange salmon colored, fine grained, firm, spicy and sweet. Every market gardener who is near his market and every Highway Market should provide for a supply of this variety along with Tip Top. Plant six feet apart each way and thin to two plants. You will find this a well bred sort which under fair conditions will be a money maker. Do not plant to ship long distances, but be sure to plant in your home garden. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.)

Burrell's Special Tip-Top Muskmelon
Tip-Top in quality. I recommend this sort to market growers who are near their markets and for highway markets. The melons are uniform in size, weighing six to seven pounds. See cut for shape. Light slate colored rind, lightly netted. Changes color before ready to slip, so that they can be safely picked by cutting the stem before ready to slip if wanted to keep two to four days. If to be sold the same day picked, pick as soon as the stem will slip. Deep meat of rich orange salmon color. Spicy, sweet and one of the best muskmelons grown. I sell thousands of pounds of this seed-a large part of it being planted near large cities by market gardeners. Enough of my seed of Tip-Top to plant more than 1,500 acres is planted near Los Angeles, Calif., each year. Plant 6 ft. apart each way and thin to one plant to the hill when 5 or 6 leaves. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (30c per ¼ lb.) ($1.10 per lb.) ($1.00 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) (85c per lb. In 100-lb. Lots). Prepaid.

Early Knight Cantaloupe
This is a very fine quality, green meated cantaloupe. Size about that of a Jumbo Rocky Ford. Very sweet and spicy. Shape oblong. The photo above shows the blossom end but does not give a good idea as to shape. The netting is well developed except that the suture between the slight ribs is without netting and a bright green after the melon is ripe, giving it a striking appearance. The fruits are firm and picked full slip will keep several days. Will pack nicely in Jumbo flat crates. I recommend Early Knight to market growers. My stock is excellent. Price-(10c per pkt.)

Eden Gem Cantaloupe
One of the finest for the South. This variety was developed by the late Mr. C. H. Mathis of South Carolina at the time he grew an extensive acreage here at Rocky Ford and my stock is carefully selected from the original strain. Recommended for planting where vines rust, as it is highly rust-resistant and often the vines remain green and setting on fruits where other varieties have rusted and died. The vines grow vigorously and best results are had where planted six feet each way and thinned to one plant to the hill. The melons are heavily netted. Very firm and heavy. The flesh is deep and nearly all are green meated, a few being salmon tinted. My crop this year was heavy and I have a fine lot of seed to offer. Plant Eden Gem if you have been damaged by rust. I offer the seed in two grades: Stock Seed Eden Gem, saved from the best of the crown settings. Price-(10c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (45c per ¼ lb.) ($1.50 per lb.) (10 lbs. $1.35 per lb.)

Edwards Perfecto Cantaloupe
This variety resembles the Eden Gem in shape and netting, is a little larger, quite rust resistant and a real good melon. The meat is salmon about two-thirds the depth, fine grained and of good flavor. It is a good shipper and will become a general favorite when the melons become more uniform. Some market growers now prefer it. The meat is very deep. Do not confuse this with the salmon-fleshed Perfecto. Price-Stock Seed, Edwards Perfecto-(10c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (45c per ¼ lb.)

Emerald Gem Muskmelon
This extra fine variety is worthy of special mention and has but few equals for the home garden, but being without netting and often cracking open when ripe, it is not a good market melon. Medium size perfectly smooth; skin a deep emeral green with white ribs. Very attractive in appearance. Flesh salmon-colored, very deep and quality almost equal to the Rocky Ford. Do not fail to grow a few. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (30c per ¼ lb.) ($1.00 per lb.), prepaid.

Golden Beauty Casaba
This is the finest of the casabas and a money maker for market growers wherever casabas mature well. The photo above shows the type of this variety, which runs very true. The flesh is sweet, juicy, very fine grained and deep. The seeds are held very firmly in the center and the melons keep well for two or three months after maturity. On the markets they are gaining in favor and there is now a demand for very large shipments. This is the sort most extensively grown in California. Try them in your home garden if you do not grow for market. An ounce of seed may produce you many dollars worth of fine melons. Price-(10c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (45c per ¼ lb.) ($1.50 per lb.) ($1.35 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) ($1.25 per lb. In 100-lb. Lots). Prepaid.

Green Meated Honey Dew
During the fall of 1915 the first Honey Dew melons were placed on the market ad the product of slightly over two acres netted thirty-six hundred dollars($3,600.00) in the Chicago and New York City markets. The rind is a dull white when ripe. Part of the melons show slight checks in the rind like a tendency to net. This appears when the melon is ready to pick. Time of ripening, about two weeks later than Rocky Fords. The size runs six to seven inches in diameter from top to bottom and eight inches in length. The matured melons are practically all the same shape and size. The flesh is a rich green and very sweet. The melon is a good shipper and will keep several weeks, so there is practically no loss from spoilded melons in shipping. I recommend this melon to market growers. The vines are vigorous and set six to ten melons to the hill, and if proper care is taken to ship only ripe melons a fine market can be established. My supply of seed is strictly right and grown from carefully selected stock seeds-THE INTRODUCER'S STOCK. Price-(5c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (45c per ¼ lb.) ($1.35 per lb. (10-lb. Lots, $1.25 per lb.) prepaid. Wholesale prices-(100-lb. Lots, $1.10 per lb.) (500-lb. Lots $1.00 per lb.) not prepaid.

Hale's Best or H.B. Cantaloupe
This new cantaloupe is considered the earliest good shipper grown and a very large demand has developed for it. Many thousand acres were planted for market in 1926 and the supply of seed was exhausted at $3.00 per pound. This year I have a large quantity of the seed to offer grown from the finest selection of stock seeds. The H. B. cantaloupe is large, running about nine to the Jumbo flat crate, well netted, oblong, very solid; the flesh is deep, salmon colored, fine grained and of good quality. Extreme earliness makes it a money maker. I have cut this seed in one grade from the finest melons and offer: Hale's Best or H. B. Cantaloupe (10c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (45c per 1/4-lb.) ($1.50 per lb.) ($1.35 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) ($1.25 in 100-lb. Lots) ($1.15 per lb. In 500-lb. Lots and up), prepaid.

Pearl Pink Meat or Abbots Pearl
This is a very fine melon, heavily netted with white netting. The melons are light slate colored when green, can be picked full slip and will carry a long distance. The meat is deep salmon color and of excellent flavor. My field of this variety produced a very heavy crop. The size runs from standard to Jumbo.

Salmon Tinted Pollock Cantaloupe 10-25
This strain was developed from the Salmon Tinted Pollock No. 25. The originators planted a large number of plats from single melons and plat No. 10 produced this melon, which accounts for the name. The melons run from standard to Jumbo, packing in standard crates and flats. This is an advantage, there being no pony melons. The melons are solidly netted, without ribs, very uniform in size and shape do not develop soft spots and can be picked closer than other types of Rocky Fords. The flesh is a rich salmon about two-thirds the depth, changing to green near the rind. This color is very uniform., My seed fields were carefully grown from the finest stock seeds and were inspected and certified by a representative of the Colorado State Agricultural College and if you wish I will furnish certificate with each lot of one pound or more at no extra charge. Whether your association plants ten thousand pounds of seed or you plant only for a home garden I want your order and will give it good care. I offer the seed in two grades-large lots in 1-lb. cloth bags sealed. Stock Seed Pollock 10-25, cut from the finest of the first melons to ripen.

The Burrell Gem Cantaloupe
Also Called Pink Meat. This melon continues to be a favorite and the market results for 1926 were again in its favor especially late in the season. Last year I could not supply the demand for this seed, but now I have a better supply, having grown a large acreage this year. Many are calling melons Burrell Gems which are not. Get your Burrell Gem seed from Burrell. Don't fail to test them, because if your soil and climate are suited to their production you will be well repaid. I first introduced this now famous melon on the market in 1904, marketing forty-one baskets. In 1905 I grew twelve acres for market and sold $6,,000.00 worth of melons from this field. In 1906 I placed them on the Chicago and New York market, where they sold for two to three times as much as any other melons. They have continued to keep up this good reputation, and this year several thousand cars were shipped from different growing sections, which brought good prices. The crate now being used for the standard melons measure 24 inches long, 14&1/2 inches wide, 4&1/2 inches deep, and holds 12 melons, or 15 smaller-sized melons. About 80 per cent of my melons run 12 to the crate. The small melons, 15 to the crate, do not sell as well, as it is quite an advantage to get as many 12's as possible. This is an abundant yielder, often producing 15 to 25 melons to the hill. The meat is rich golden color, very thick, and fine-grained. The flavor cannot be excelled. The seeds are closely held in place in three lobes and do not easily shake loose. The rind is covered with a closely laced gray netting, except the narrow stripe between the ribs, which is not netted. The blossom end is well protected. Shape oblong, averaging six inches long and tapering at the ends. It is an excellent shipper and will carry nearly two weeks without ice. I do not recommend it for planting where there is excessive rainfall, as this will cause them to crack. Be sure to get your seed from me. Returns as high as $1,000.00 per acre have been obtained here at Rocky Ford for melons shipped to eastern markets of this variety. Stock Seed Burrell Gem-The finest possible selection. Price-(5c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (50c per 1/4-lb.) ($1.55 per lb.) (10 lbs. And up, $1.50 per lb.) (100 lbs. And up, $1.35 per lb.) prepaid. No. 1 Seed Burrell Gem, saved from fine, well-netted melons. I recommend this seed to market growers as being very desirable. This melon has brought hundreds of growers profitable returns. It will pay you to give it a trial, for if it is adapted to your soil and climate you will be well paid for your effort. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (30c per ¼ lb.) ($1.00 per lb.) (10 lbs.
