NETTED GEM. (ROCKY FORD.) 
NETTED GEM, OR ROCKY FORD. 
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 Word (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 Recky 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.
