MUSKMELONS 



German, Melone. 



French, Melon. 



The Melon grows best in light soil. Plant in hills about 

 6 feet apart, mixing in each hill a shovelful 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 ijlentifully, so as to increase the size of the 

 remainder. 



1 oz. to aboat 60 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. to the acre.

THE BEST MELON FOR THE HOME GAKDEN 

 A>D JIABKET. 



E.vceedinely Proliflc, Stroneer, Vigorous Grower, 

 Unsurpassed in Flavor. 

 A wonderfully luxuriant grower, combining more good 

 qualities than any other now on the market. It is ex- 

 ceedingly productive and especially fine flavored; very 

 attractive in appearance, medium in size and ripens 

 medium early. The flesh is a deep salmon color, thick, 

 (irm and solid, and possesses a rich, aromatic flavor. The 

 fruit is very uniform in size, and every Melon is a good 

 one, sweet and luscious to the rind. As a market garden- 

 er's Melon we believe it has no equal, and it is an excel- 

 lent shipper.
