1 ' l_7 v r.' Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Cucumber, Oat and T" * -» TOM WATSON WAT£RMELON. Everybody knows what this melon is r but few people know the difference it makes as to where the seed are grown. Colorado grown seed makes a more pro* lific yield and a far more uniform melon. Matures 10 to 15 days earlier than native grown seed. This is what proved in Flor ida and Georgia. This is the first I have been able to get. Could not get any last year. I have now a limited amount at $1.50 ' per pound. EXCEL MELONS. I saved no Excel Melon Seed, but am in position to order from wholesale grow ers, both South and West, and believe that I can get as good seed as can be bought. I have none to offer,' but will take orders to secure when requested. CLECKLEY SWEET. The only melon for home use. Only have a few of these seed, which I am of fering at $2.00 per pouna. WONDER WATERMELON. Only a few of these seen of my own saving from melons 50 to 7? pounds. This melon >* just the shape of the bid Cob Gem or Eden Melon with a rattlesnake • colored rind. It is a heavier yielder, a fine shipper, but must not be shipped before it is ripe enough. Must be fully rife when shipped or else doe* not carry well. Price $2.00 per pound. EDEN GEM ROCKY FORD CANTA- * LOUPE. The best and most profitable solid netted cantaloupe Idr market purposes grown. ~ My seed were grown at Stocky Ford, Colo., specially for C. H, Mathis. I was there during September and personally saw to the selection in cutting snd care in drying of the same. I am just a little short on my supply. Cash with oraer, $1.25 per pound. HONEY DEW CANTALOUPE. I hardly know how to describe this mel on. It is a perfect watermelon rind, while the flesh is that of a real cantaloupe. It ia very sweet and profitable as a market product when weather conditions suit the harvest. It is subject to spoil or go bad with too much rain «t gathering season, but a real money-maker when climatic and other conditions are favorable. These seed are $1.25 per pound. EARLIEST OF ALL WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. This variety introduced from Rocky Ford, Colo., where over 90 per cent, of the ' cucumber seed planted in the United States is grown, is not only the earliest but also as well shaped and colored as any of the later sorts. Yields a much heavier crop early in the season and continues to bear as long as any. The fruit averages 7 to 8 inches long as slicers, and square ended, ^ery deep green in color, and hqld their coror well on the market. The flesh is crisp, white and if excellent quality* This variety also “Dills" well and is a good sort to grow for pickles. As a money maker for market growers it is recom mended above all others. I have a full supply to begin with, but sold out entirely last Spring. Prices less than 100 pounds,- $1.00 per pound, cash with order. Special discount on sack lots. 2,000 BU. FULCRUM OATS. • Pure from any other oats. Was full ripe when cut. Just a very small r«r cent of wheat nr some crTmy oats and quite some Hairy Vetch in part of them. These I of- fet at 75 cents per bushel. • PURE ABRUZZI RYE. Pure Abruszi Rye with quite a per cent, of Hairy Vetch in it. 1 am offering at $2.50 per bushel while it laaU. X Tornona! Rod a 2.
