 development of many vital points. It 

 has a tough, thin rind, well arched ribs 

 covered with a closely laced and inter- 

 laced gray netting. The blossom end is 

 protected with a well developed button. 

 Shape, quite elongated, the diameter from 

 stem to blossom being one-third more 

 than from top to bottom. Meat, of a 

 reddish orange, very thick, fine grained 

 and spicy, not containing too much water 

 or acid. Seed cavity, small and trian-

gular, the seed closely held in place in 

 three lobes. This is one of the first 

 points to consider in a shipping melpn, 

 as, if the fibrous growth containing the 

 seeds is not well developed, the seeds 

 soon shake loose and the melon ah 

 quickly begins to decay. 



The average weight is about two and 

 one-quarter pounds, the length six inches, 

 and the thickness four and one-half 

 inches. The standard crate is fourteen 

 inches wide, four and one-half inches 

 deep and twenty-four inches long, hold- 

 ing twelve melons. About eighty per 

 cent of the crop crates nicely in the 

 above sized crate. D. V. Burrell.
