CURRIE’S MILWAUKEE 
MARKET 
THE BEST MELON FOR THE HOME GARDEN AND 
MARKET. 
‘Always Commands Top Notch Price in the Market. 
A wonderful luxuriant grower, combining more good quali- 
ties than any other now on the market. It is exceedingly pro- 
ductive and especially fine flavored: very attractive in appear- 
ance, medium in size and ripens medium early. The flesh is a 
deep salmon color, thick, firm and solid, and possesses a rich 
aromatic flavor. Developed here and grown and marketed 
locally for a number of years, Currie’s Milwaukee Market on 
account of its distinct and undeniably superior qualities has 
for some time been recognized as a standard American variety 
of the first rank, and it is now grown by home and profes- 
sional gardeners to the number of many thousands through- 
out the country. 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. 15¢e; oz. 40c; %4 lb. $1.00; 1 Ib. $3.50. Postpaid. 
There is one thing you don’t tell the truth about, and 
that is the Milwaukee Market Muskmelon—it is much 
better than you describe it—the best melon in existence, 
I believe. You don’t exaggerate like so many seedsmen.

Glad to report your Milwaukee Market Muskmelon 
took first prize at the Arkansas Valley Fair, in competi- 
tion with numerous other sorts. The flavor was ex- 
quisite and we think it quite an honor.

SALMON OR ORANGE FLESHED, 
Exceedingly CURRIE’S SELECTED PAUL ROSE, or Petoskey— 
Prolific, The result of a cross between the well-known 
Unsurpassed Osage and Netted Gem. It combines the sweet- 
ness 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 
makes it a most desirable market grower’s 
Melon. Flesh salmon. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz, 20; %4

vor. The flesh is reddish-orange, thick and 
juicy, retaining its sweetness close to the rind.
