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 MELON. 



THE BEST MELON FOR THE 

 GARDENER. 



MARKET 



Exceedingly Proline, Strong, Vigorous Grow 

 er. Unsurpassed in Flavor. 



A wonderfully luxuriant grower, combin- 

 ing more good qualities than any other 

 now on the market. It is exceedingly pro- 

 ductive 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 pos- 

 sesses a rich, aromatic 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.

CRRIE S SELECT OSAGE. 



NETTED GEM. (ROCKY FORD.) 

 NETTED GEM, OR ROCKY FORD — SELECTED STOCK. 

 Gems, as they are familiarly known on the market. 



One of the best of our small early or basket Melons. During 

 the last few years they have largely increased in popularity on 

 account of the excellent quality and flavor of this Melon as 

 shipped from Rocky Ford, (Colo.). Growers and seedsmen are 

 undecided as to whether it is owing to any particular quality 

 of soil or climate, or to persistent selection that has brought 

 the Rocky Ford type of Gem into such great prominence. We 

 are inclined to the theory of close selection and offer a selected 

 stock of the true Rocky Ford type. The Melons are oval in 

 shape, very uniform in size, with thick-meated green flesh of 

 a melting and delicious flavor.
