HOMEY DEAV MELON — A new and exceedingly popular 

 melon, commanding a very high price. It cannot, 

 however, be recommended for planting in northern 

 latitudes, for the reason that it takes a long season 

 to ripen. The melons are large, often weighing 10 

 lbs., round in shape, with very thick light 

 green, solid flesh of a luscious honey-like 

 flavor. The seed cavity is very small. It is an 

 excellent keeping variety, and may be laid 

 away for use late in fall. The outer shell is 

 very hard, smooth, and nearly white. Pkt., 

 10c; oz., 30c; % lb., 85c 3.00 



VINE PEACH — Vegetable Orange, or Mango 

 Melon — The fruit is oval shaped and about the 

 size of a peach which they resemble very 

 much, the color being bright orange. They 

 make splendid preserves and excellent sweet 

 pickles, and when ripe they are esteemed as a 

 delicacy sliced and served raw with sugar.
