MUSKMELONS. 



German, Melone. French, Melon. 



The Melon grows best in light soil. Plant in hills about 



6 feet apart, mixing in each hill a shovelful of •well-rotted 



manure. Sow about a dozen Seeds in every hill, early in 



May, and when well started thin out to three or four of the 



strongest plants. Pinch off the shoots and thin out the 



young fruit if it sets too plentifully, so as to increase 



the size of the remainder. 



1 oz. to about 60 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. to the acre. 



CURRIE'S MILWAUKEE MARKET. 



THE BEST MELON FOR THE HOME GARDEN 

 AND MARKET. 



Exceedingly Prolific, Strong, Vigorous Grower. 

 Unsurpassed in Flavor. 



A wonderfully luxuriant grower, combining more 

 good qualities than any other now on the market. It 

 is exceedingly productive and especially fine flavored; 

 very attractive in appearance, medium in size and 

 ripens medium early. The flesh is a deep salmon 

 color, thick, firm and solid, and possesses a rich, aro- 

 matic flavor. The fruit is very uniform in size, and 

 every Melon is a good one, sweet and luscious to the 

 rind. As a market gardener's Melon we believe it 

 has no equal, and it is an excellent shipper. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 75c; 1 lb. $2.50.
