Burrell Gem Special
We offer a strain that has had special selection for many years. We supply many of the largest growers in the Northwest. It is a splendid shipper; 4 to 6 inches in diameter; seed cavity small, flesh firm and reddish orange. Probably more planted for market in Oregon and Washington than any other. Very high quality.

Emerald Gem
The finest for the home garden on account of its high quality and extreme earliness. The dark green fruit is of medium size, flattened at both ends.

Extra Early Knight
An extremely early melon of very high quality and a good shipper. Deep green skin turning to golden at maturity with close grey netting and distinctly ribbed. Flesh thick and very sweet; green blending to light pink at center. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; ¼ lb., 40c; lb., $1.35.
Golden Cream
This giant melon has proved a money maker for gardeners. To obtain best success plant 6 x 6, for owing to its size, it requires more room. The fruit is rather long, oval and very thick meated. The skin is smooth, without ribs, and of a beautiful golden cream color with plenty of lighter colored netting. The flesh is a rich salmon and contrasted with the beautiful skin makes a sensation when placed on the table. This is an Oregon production and has 15 years selection behind it. The fruit matures very early and melons weighing 8 to 12 pounds are not uncommon. They are unusually firm and will stand shipping, while the quality is the best of any large melon we have seen. It is a shy seeder. Oregon grown seed. Pkt., 15c; oz., 40c; ¼ lb., 90c; lb., $3.25.
