MUSKMELONS | 
SALMON OR ORANGE FLESHED. 
The Melon grows best in light soil. Plant in hills about 6 feet apart, mixing in each hill ashovelful 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 80 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. to the acre. 
Milwaukee Market. 
CURRIE’S SELECT OSAGE. 
One of the finest Melons ever produced in this country. Its 
outward appearance will at all times command a ready 
sale. It is of medium size, very productive, and unsur- 
passed in the delicacy of its flavor. The flesh is reddish- 
orange, thick and juicy, retaining its sweetness close to the 
rind. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
CURRIE’S SELECTED PAUL ROSE, or Petoskey—The result 
of a cross between the well-known Osage and Netted Gem. 
It combines the sweetness of the Osage with the fine net~ 
ting 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. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; % Ib. 35c; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
Emerald Gem—When an extra early Melon for home use is 
wanted nothing can equal this superb sort. It is of me- 
dium size, outside skin emerald green and 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; 1 oz. 
15c; % lb. 35c; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
Princess, or Perfection—Is round, large, heavily netted, dark 
green skin and thick fiesh, which is a beautiful salmon 
color. It ripens early and has a most delicious flavor. 
Pkt. 6c; 1 oz. 15c; % lb. 36c; 1 1b. $1.25. 
Surprise—An early sort, having a thin, cream-colored skin, 
and thick, salmon-colored flesh; very productive and of 
delicious flavor. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; % 1b. 35c; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
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 
fiavored; very attractive in appearance, medium in 
size and ripens medium early. The fiesh is a deep 
salmon color, thick, firm and solid, and possesses a 
rich, aromatic flavor. The fruit is very uniform in 
size, and every Melon is a good one, sweet and lus- 
cious to the rind. As a market gardener’s Melon 
we believe it has no equal, and@ it is an excellent 
shipper. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 85e; 1 Ib. $2.75. Postpaid. 
N 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. A. S. CHRISTENSON, 
Dodge Center, Minn. 
Glad to report your Milwaukee Market Musk- 
melon took first prize at the Arkansas Valley Fair, 
in competition with numerous other sorts. The 
flavor was exquisite and we think it quite an honor.

Sept., £919. Colo. 
HOODOO—In shape slightly more rounded than the well- 
known Rocky Ford, a point strongly in its favor as a ship-. 
ping 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. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; %4 lb. 35c; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
Fip-Tep—A heavy producer, of handsome appearance, round 
in shape and beautifully netted. Of excellent flavor, firm, 
sweet and juicy, and can be eaten almost down to the 
rind. Flesh yellow. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15¢; % Ib. 35c; 1 1b. $1.25.. 
HONEY-DEW. 
The demand for this new Melon has been exceedingly 
heavy during the past few se@asons, among the fancy fruit 
dealers. It is unlike the ordimary muskmelon in appearance 
and flavor, the latter much like honey. The skin is thin 
and smooth, nearly white, with an occasional netting, turning 
to a yellow tint when fully ripe. The hard shell makes it 4 
good shipper. Weight from six to ten pounds. Flesh thick 
meated, of a light green color and very juicy. Store in a cool 
place for two or three days after gathering, for they are at 
their best when a little over-ripe. HONEY-DEW is one of 
the finest quality Melons ever grown for the market, and 
most profitable. Onder at once, stock limited. Pkt. 10c; 1 02. 
20c; % lb. 50c; 1 Im $1.75.
