NEW MUSK MELON 



The 



"PAUL ROSE" 



nr. PAUL ROSE writes: Dec. 4, 1897. 



■ f have found in my experience of nearly twenty 

 years in melon growing, that there is an increased de- 

 mand in most of the large cities of the Northern states 

 for salmon-fleshed melons, and Further that, the trade 

 prefer their melons in the half-bushel Climax basket. 

 For this reason [ have labored to bring this melon to per- 

 fection, and bj what you have alread) seen and learned 

 of it. and b\ whal the trade says of it wherever it has 

 been introduced you can judge whether I have succeeded 

 in supplying the "long felt want' or not. 1 he Osage is 

 too large for a basket melon. The Emerald Gem will not 

 stand transportation'or warm weather, besides it izrows 

 ail sized melons on the same vine. The Paul Rose cor- 

 rects these faults, and will carry farther, stand up 

 longer, and give better satisfaction than any salmon 

 fleshed- melon I have ever grown. It is the best melon 1 

 have found for the North. My experience with it in 

 Southern Indiana the pasl season was highly satisfac- 

 tory, except thai ii grows a little larger. I shall discard 

 the Osage and planl the Paul Rose melon instead. This 

 melon 1 shipped this season to Pittsburgh, Cleveland. 

 Toledo, Indianapolis, Chicago, and other distant points, 

 and in even instance it arrived in good condition and 

 sold for top prices."
