IMPROVED MILWAUKEE MARKET

 OTHER MELON.

ANY OTHER. 



EVERY MELON IS A GOOD ONE.

 SELECTED MELONS. 



THE ANNUAL DEMAND FOR OUR MILWAUKEE 



MARKET MELON INCREASES BY LEAPS 



AND BOUNDS. 



No other Musk Melon has leaped into prominence as the 

 Milwaukee Market has in the past few years. The prin- 

 ciple hotels and restaurants in Milwaukee and Chicago 

 use them to the total exclusion of all other melons as long 

 as the supply lasts. The demand is always in excess of the 

 supply, although large growers have lately doubled and 

 trebled their acreage of them. 



Our stock of it has been carefully selected every year 

 until now we have, as a large and prominent Rocky Ford, 

 Colorado, grower of musk melons writes us: "In the 

 Milwaukee Market Musk Melon you certainly have a 

 dandy." It certainly is a remarkably fine variety, com- 

 bining more excellent qualities than any other melon. It is 

 medium in size, very attractive in appearance, ripens me- 

 dium early, and is very uniform in size, is nearly round 

 with light green skin. The flesh is deep salmon, thick and 

 juicy, and possesses a rich, aromatic flavor, sweet and 

 luscious to the rind. It is a vigorous grower, producing 

 abundantly, and every melon is a good one. The market 

 gardener finds it a most profitable variety, as it always 

 commands a higher price on the market than any other. 

 Every home grower who can grow musk melons should 

 plant it.
