REUTER President Directions to Customers By carefully observing the following directions, mistakes and misunderstandings will be very largely avoided: HOW TO ORDER — Please be careful to sign your Name, Post Office, Rural Route and State on every order. Be sure to tell us your nearest express office, should you desire the seed forwarded by express; if by freight, your railroad station, also preferable routing; or, if by boat, your landing, and the name of boat, if possible. WRITE PLAINLY. ORDER EARL Y— It will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent in early. We aim to ship all orders the same day they are received, and our mail-order department has a capacity for more than 3,000 orders daily, but sometimes it is impossible during the rush season. CASH WITH ORDER— Custo- mers will please remit when order- ing. If goods are wanted C. O. D., 25 per cent, or one-fourth of the amount, must accompany the order. No plants shipped C. O. D. HOW TO SEND MONEY— Remittances should be made by post office money orders, express money orders, drafts or checks on New Orleans or New York. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letter should be registered. In all cases where the order for seed amounts to one dollar or more, the cost of post office or express money order, or cost of registering the letters from places that are not money-order offices, may be deducted from the amount of the order. STAMPS — On orders of seeds where the amount is less than 50 cents, we will accept stamps in good condition (one and two-cent stamps preferred) the same as cash, but we would ask those remitting stamps to wrap them in oiled paper, if possible, to prevent their sticking together or to the order. SEEDS POSTPAID BY PARCEL POST— Please bear in mind that the prices given in this catalog include delivery on all seeds by packet, ounce, quarter- pound, pound, two pound, and five pound lots, unless otherwise specified. Send us the amount named in this catalog, and we guarantee safe delivery by postpaid parcel post in these quantities. This does not include pecks and bushels. PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE— This catalog is printed in November and December and the market on many items of garden and field seeds has not yet been established. Consequently prices on those items indicate value at the time these pages are printed. Orders will be filled, if at all possible — at prices printed in this book, but ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. NON-WARRANTY —The Reuter Seed Co., Inc., does not give and its agents and employees are forbidden to give any warranty, ex- press or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants, etc., it sends out and it will not be any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not ac- cept the goods on these terms, they are to be returned at once, and if the money has been paid for them, it will be refunded. NO RESPONSIBLE SEEDS- MAN GIVES ANY WARRANTY. This does not mean that we lack confidence in the seeds we sell, but we have no control over the seeds after they leave our hands. We cannot personally direct the use of our goods after they leave our estab- lishment ; neither can we fully control anywhere or at any time the operation of natural law as it affects seed. Sometimes, though not often, our seeds do noti come up after planting. This may be due to one or' more of several reasons, such as covering too deeply or not deeply enough, too much or too little water, too« cold weather or a baking sun which forms a crust too hard for the tender shoots to penetrate. Some- times insects destroy plants at the surface before they are seen by the gardener. Notice to Field Seed Buyers Farm and Field Seeds are not listed in this catalog. Customers who may be interested in purchasing Seed Corn, Cotton, Cane, Clover, Millets, Grasses, Velvet Beans, etc., should write for Reuter’s Current Red Ink Price List, which gives market prices on all seeds for farm and plantation use.

REUTER President REUTER SEED CO., Inc., New Or lean Reuter’s Watermelon Seed Wondermelon No. 607 It is an outstanding variety among the round watermelons. It is very sweet, grows very large and is almost round or square-shaped. It is a rich, dark green in color, has a medium rind, and the flesh is an attractive deep red. Good, rich melon soil will produce crops averaging 40 to 80 pounds to the melon and the weight, shape and general attractiveness of the melons will induce highly profitable prices in all markets where round melons are preferred. It has not yet been sufficiently proven out as a long-distance shipper and perhaps never will be, but its qualities as a local market profit-maker are worth any growers attention Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; lb-. 65c; lb - $2.00; 5 lbs., $8.75, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10-lb lots or over, at $1.50 per lb.; 25 lb. lots or over, at $1.25 per lb. In good and bad seasons, since 1918, when I first brought out this melon, the Wondermelon has surpassed every other sort where comparisons were made. It possesses a flavor that is not approached by any other variety; so much so that people will come back to retailers and ask for it by name. Its rind is thin, but tough, and it will stand safe shipment for reasonable distances. Its flesh is a rich red and full of flavor right up to the rind, without any hollow. The seeds are large and white and relatively few to the melon. It is large and long, resembling the Tom Watson, but thicker. The color is dark, solid green, a most attractive article. Anyone who plants watermelons, for any purpose, should plant Reuter’s Wondermelon.

Stone Mountain Reuter’s Radio Watermelon No. 618 — 15 to 18 inches in diameter. The rind is a dark green, indistinctly striped with mingled lighter green. The young melons will show distinct stripes but as they develop and ripen the stripe practically fades away, leaving a glossy green color. The rind is medium thick, just enough to insure long keeping and rough usage during shipping. It is practically impossible to penetrate it under ordinary conditions and it is woven together, like leather, that it is hard to pull apart or break even after it is fully ripe. It will stand rough handling and will not easily decay. The meat is red and sweet, entirely free from hard centers or stringy flesh, and will slice half an inch thick and not break when fully ripe. It grows remarkably large and is very prolific. It will ship in first-class condition to the most distant markets and will sell on sight. The seed cavity is small and the seed large. Judging from fields inspected the Radio will pro- duce in a favorable season, a carload of 40-pound melons to the acre and every melon a good one. It will sell just as readily as a local market meloD and yet always make good in the distant markets Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; lb., 50c; lb., „ , , . , $1.50; 5 lbs., $7.00, postpaid.

Its meat is a dark red, fine grained, with no white parts. The melon is a rich dark green, with a faint, practi- cally invisible stripe. While not a prolific melon, in the usual sense of the word, having about only four melons to the vine, the total product of a single vine, because of the uniformly immense size of the melons, more than offsets this lack. It is a remarkable drouth resister and never fails to produce a, second crop from the same hills, these second crop melons averaging from 25 to 35 pounds each.

It is oval or oblong in shape. The rind is a dark, glossy green in color, thin, but very tough and resistant to knocks and pressure; no ordinary fist can burst it and a two hundred pound man can stand on and jump off one of these melons and not crush the rind. This tough, impervious rind will keep the flesh good and fresh for a week or ten days after it ripens and a full grown melon can be put up and kept to January of the next year. Ripens about the average date of most melons, not a real early variety, yet not a late variety. The meat or flesh of this splendid commercial variety is of a dark red color, very sweet and free from fibre or strings. The seeds are large, white in color with black tips and many seeds have black blotches on the sides to full black sides with only white rim. It is an ideal melon for both home and market purposes.

Entirely devoid of all fibrous substances, the sweet flesh melts away in your mouth like so much honey, even after the largest bite of “heart”. This is surely a sweet melon, and its delicious crim- son red flesh extends nearly to the skin, the rind being very thin and brittle. The melon is long in shape and- blunt at each end, and the dark green skin makes it very attractive. The hardy vines are remarkably prolific. The crop covers the ground, and it is not uncommon to see four or five melons growing in a heap together, one on top of the other. It is quite early, a good feature for the commercial grower. The flesh is tender and luscious, extra sweet. The rind is not tough or thick enough for long distance shipping, but this is a prime favorite for local markets and home use.

For Spring blooming they should be planted during February and March in this latitude, but, as Dahlias are tender plants, care should be taken that they are protected against frost. Late planting we find to be the easiest and most desirable. The bulbs are planted during the latter part of May and the month of June. They will bloom during Fall and produce their mass of flowers until checked by the frost. If you are not experienced in the growing of Dahlias ask for our “Dahlia” booklet. It is free.
