Bender's Surprise Cantaloupes
This melon very much resembles my stock of Tip-Top. The netting is a little heavier. Flesh the same rich salmon color, fine grained, spicy and sweet. Bender's surprise is a favorite in many sections. The demand for seed of this melon from my customers grew large and I have secured the finest possible stocks from which I grew a good crop this year. Price-(10c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (45c per ¼ lb.) ($1.55 per lb.) ($1.45 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) ($1.35 per lb. In 100-lb. Lots) prepaid.
