“Newport” Musk Melon. 
The highest-flavored, most luscious green-fleshed variety grown, and 
remarkably early. 
Every person who tastes our Newport Musk Melon 
goes into ecstacies over its rich aromatic flavor, and 
it certainly is, we think, the most delicious of all the 
green-fleshed sorts, and as a class the green-fleshed 
musk melons are more highly flavored than the red- 
fleshed. The Newport is a very*early melon, ripening 
with the Jenny Lind, which it somewhat resembles. 
The fruits are deep and almost round, witha dull 
green exterior, changing as they ripen to a rich golden 
color, evenly and closely netted, “The ribs are quite 
shallow. The flesh is of exquisite texture, rich and 
melting clear to the rind. It is a bountiful yielder, 
though the melons are not large, but for early family 
use, when delicious quality is the desideratum, we 
cannot too highly eulogize Hender- 
son’s Newport. (See cut.)

PERFECTED DELMONICO MUSK MELON. 
A red-fieshed wariety, of most dainty and delicate flavor. 
HIS is an improvement over the well-known Delmonico Musk Melon which we 
introduced several years ago. This improved type is almost a perfect globe in 
shape ; the skin is a peculiar grayish green until ripe, when it changes to a 
bright yellow. The ribs are wide and covered thickly with prominent netting. The 
melons average about six inches in diameter, have a very small seed cavity, and are . 
exceedingly solid and heavy for theirsize. The flesh is a deep, rich orange-yellow color, and is 2 
of very fine grain, without the slightest stringiness, and of delicate and delightful flavor Not 
as musky as the green-fleshed melons, yet more highly prized on that account by many : 
epicures. This variety produces melons of uniformly high quality, and is likely to displace DELMONICO MUSK MELON. 
all other red or yellow fleshed sorts. It is a strong, hardy grower and very prolific. We can recommend it either to the market 
gardener or amateur. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. 14 Ib., $1.50 Ib.

HIS superb melon represents years of careful selection and improve- 
ment of a stock of Musk Melon at the hands of the largest and most 
experienced grower of melonsin the world. The raiser regards it as 
his greatest production and likely to supersede all other red-fleshed melons. 
‘««The Banquet” is a medium-sized melon, flat at both ends and more beau- 
tifully netted than any known variety. In quality it has no equal; the flesh 
is uniformly deep and of that granulated character that always indicates 
a good melon; the color is a dark, rich salmon. It will produce more fine 
edible melons to a given area than any other variety. (See cut.) 10c. pkt.,
