7 HENDERSON’S 
vearty HACKENSACK.” 
The most extensively grown of all Musk Melons. A reliable and bountiful yielder. 
Large, Handsome, Early. Flesh green, rich and sugary. 
We were the first to distribute generally throughout the country 
the now famous Hackensack. This New Early is a selection or 
improvement almost equal in size to the Hackensack, and at least 
ten days earlier. Several years’ thorough trial has proven it to be 
the best as well as the earliest ofallthe netted melons. Themelons 
weigh from four to six poundseach. The skin is green and thickly 
netted ; flesh also of light green of delicious flavor, rich and sugary. 
It is also a luxuriant, healthy grower, and exceedingly productive.

“I tind the vines of Early Hackensack remarkably healthy, strong and vig- 
orous, ‘holding up’ wonderfully. They are still green while other varieties are 
alldead. They are the most prolific melons I have ever raised, the ground heing 
literally covered, and every specimen of fine size and shape. In quality they leave 
nothing to be desired, every melon being fine-grained and possessing the same 
sweet, delicious favor. Forvigor, productiveness and superb quality they stand 
at the head of the list of varieties I have yet tried.”’

BANQUET 
MUSK MELON. 
HENDERSON’S DELICIOUS 
BANQUET” 
————_ MUSK MELON. 
This superb melon represents years of careful 
selection and improvement of a stock of Musk 
Melon at the hands of the largest and most experi- 
enced grower of melons in the world. The raiser 
regards it as his greatest production and likely to 
supersede all other red-fleshed melons. The ‘‘Ban- 
quet” is a medium-sized melon, flat at both ends 
andmore beautifully 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.)

EARLY 
HACKENSACK 
“nuscious NEWPORT sezon. 
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 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 resembles and from which it originated. The 
fruits are deep and almost round, with a dull green exterior, chang- 
ing 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 tothe 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.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. 14 lb., $1.00 
lb. 
“T wish to add a few words of praise for your Newport Cantaloupes. They 
are the best for quality and yield that I ever raised, they are so sweet and 
MUSK MELON. refreshing.” ALBERT WESTERVELT, Danville, Va.
