MUSKMELONS. 



CURKIE'S SELECTED PAUL ROSE, or Petoskey — The re- 

 sult of a cross between the well-known Osage and Net- 

 ted Gem. It combines the sweetness of the Osage with the 

 fine netting of the Gem. Added to this, the firmness of the 

 rind, heavy texture of flesh and small seed cavity make it 

 a most desirable market growers' Melon. Flesh salmon. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; 1 lb $1.25 



HOODOO — In shape slightly more rounded 

 than the well known Rocky Ford, a 

 point strongly in its favor as 

 a shipping Melon. The flesh is 

 deep-orange in color, finely 

 grained and of delicious flavor. 

 Fruits of medium size and 

 finely netted. Vines vigorous 

 and almost entirely blight- 

 resisting. Commands top prices 

 in all markets where a basket 

 Melon is appreciated. Pkt. 5c; 

 oz. 15c; % lb. 45c; 1 lb $1.50 



Emerald Gem — Where an extra 

 early Melon for home use is 

 wanted nothing can equal this 

 superbsort. It is of medium size,

 smooth. Ripens clean through to the rind, which is very thin. The 

 flesh is thick and juicy, of a nice salmon color; for sweetness and 

 rich aromatic flavor it is unequalled. A prolific bearer and just 

 the Melon for the small grower. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 35c; 1 lb... $1.25 



Bay View — A very prolific and fine flavored green-fleshed Melon. With

 delicacy sliced raw and served with sugar. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c.
