PETER HENDERSON & GO'S VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES 



XEW MUSK MELOX — ORAN'GE CREAM. 



New Musk Melon, 

 Burpee's Orange Cream. 



Entirely new and distinct. As the illustration 

 shows, the melons are globe-shaped and thickly 

 netted. The netting is so dense that scarcely a 

 pin's head can be put between the meshes. The 

 melons weigh from 2 to 3 lbs. each and are very 

 uniform both in size and shape. The meat is very 

 thick, of a beautiful deep salmon color and of ex- 

 quisite flavor. The musky aroma of this melon is 

 such that a single specimen will perfume a large 

 room. For the table this variety will prove partic- 

 ularly attractive on account of the strong contrast 

 in color between the skin and the flesh. 



25 cts, per pkt.; 5 pkts. for $1.00.

Our illustration will give a very fair idea of this 

 very distinct variety. It is a white wrinkled sort; a

 will undoubtedly prove to be one of the best varie- 

 ties for forcing either in the hot-bed or green house.
