“Golden Giant Sweet Corn is a vast improvement on the popular Golden Bantam.” — Rural New Yorker.
Auburn, Maine, November, 1921.
Your Thousand Dollar Musk Melon is the best melon I ever saw, very meaty and the finest flavor. Grew some that weighed 14 fibs, and they were just as good as those that weighed 5 to 8 pounds.
W. P. Jones.
From an Article in the Maine Farmer of April 28, 1921, by Dr. Twitchell: —
“No man can afford to use seed, the purity, vitality and quality of which is not fully established. The question with me, is not price but quality. For over 20 years I have had all garden seed from the Pine Tree State Seed Co., Bath, Maine, because I found I could rely on it. How much this means cannot be realized until one takes account of the failures.”

BOBOLINK POLE BEANS
BEST ON EARTH
If you want the very best, most tender and de- licious “String Beans,” raise the Bobolink. The best pole bean for northern planting, extremely early and very prolific,' the vines bearing long, flat, meaty pods, entirely free from strings or fiber, a rich, light green color, very attractive, most excellent quality, the very best of all the pole beans. Plant enough to can — they are de- licious. This splendid variety is soon bound to be the most popular Pole Bean grown. In many respects they surpass anything we know of. The pods retain their stringless and tender qualities until they are almost ripe. They are hardy, easily grown and enormously productive.
Large packet, post paid, 15c; y2 pt. 20c; pt. 40c; qt. 75c.
Monmouth, Me., Feb. 1st, 1921. Pine Tree State Seed Co.,
W. R. Kimball, Mgr.
My dear Mr. Kimball: — The years but confirm my judgment regarding the superiority of your Bobolink Pole Beans. Selecting my seed from the pods at the top of the pole, I find that the season for maturity has been shortened so that the past year they were ready for the table three days after the first picking of my earliest bush Wax. Growth is rapid and abundant, yield heavy and quality beyond anything I ever raised.
Twenty years’ reliance on your goods justifies a strong word of commendation — my best wishes are with you. Sincerely,
G. M. TWITCHELL.
A GRAND MELON FOR NEW ENGLAND
Metcalf’s “Thousand Dollar” Musk Melon
This melon has been grown by Mr. Metcalf of Cumberland County for over twenty years, of whom we secured a small supply of seed.
The following is his description:
“More than 20 years ago, a horticultural friend told me he had been talking with a man interested i, gardening who told him of a superior variety o Musk Melon he was growing. Soon after he gave him a ¥ew of the seeds; these he divided with me We both planted them the next season with gr
success. After they had ripened I called at the home of my friend one evening. When he brought in a nice looking melon and opened it, as he did so, its fine appearance and delightful odor caused him to exclaim: “Ah! That’s worth a thousand dollars.” Since then it has been known as the Thousand Dol- lar Melon. I have continued to plant this variety every year since, saving seeds from the best and first to ripen each year and know of no other va- riety any better or will ripen as early.”
The Melons average two to six pounds.
