elons grow as large as that great shipping

better flavored and even handsomer in appearance. The melons 
are a round oval in form, from 16 to 18 inches long by 12 to 15 
inches in diamete:. Well-grown melons average 40 to 50 pounds, 
but frequently there are some that weigh from 60 to 80 pounds 
each. The rind is dark green, striped with narrow bands of a 
lighter green, and when ready for shipping the melons are seeming- 
ly of a solid dark green color. The flesh is red, the heart large, 
with no core, and the flavor superb. For shipping to distant mar- 
kets this melon is most satisfactory. Pkt., 5c; 44 Ib., 25c; Ib..

keeping quality will appeal to shippers who have experienced 
losses on account of glutted markets. The color is a distinct mottled 
greenish gray; the flesh is red, sweet, crisp and free from stringiness.
