The most extensively grown of all Musk Melons. A reliable and bountiful ylelder. 

 Large, Handsome; Early. Flesb green, rich and sugary. 



We were the first to distribute genorally throughout the country 

 the now famous Hackensack. This Ne-w Early is a selection or 

 improvement almost equal in size to tlie Hackensack, and at least 

 ten days earlier. Several years' thorough trial has proven it to be 

 the best as well as the earliest of all the netted melons. The melons 

 weigh from four to six pounds each. The skin is green and thickly 

 netted ; flesh alsoof light green of delicious flavor, rich and sugary. 

 It is also a luxuriant, healthy grower, and exceedingly productive.

 orous, 'boklingtip' woiiiliTfully. I'lify are still gri'pn nliile other varieties are 

 all dead. They are the most prolific melons I have ever raised, the ground being 

 literally covered, and every specimen of fine size and shape. In quality they leave 

 nothing to he desired, every melon being fine-grained and pos.ie.-ising the same 

 sweet, delicious flavor. For vigor, productiveness and superb quality ibey stand 

 at the bead of the list of varieties 1 ha ve yet tried."

'^BANQUET" 



Mll^K MELON. 



This superb melon represents years of careful 

 selection and Improvement of a stock of Musk 

 Melon at tlie 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 oti\erred-fleslied melons. The "Ban- 

 quet" is a medium-sized melon, flat at both ends 

 and more 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 aica than any other variety. (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S 

 LUSCIOUS 



NEWPORT 



MUSK 

 MELON. 



The highest-flavored, most luscious greeo-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. 

 Tlie 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.) 10c. pkt.. 20c. oz., 40c. I4 lb., $1.25

"/ wish to add a few words of praise for your Newport Cantaloupes. They

 refreshing." ALllEIiT WESiVEliVELT. Danville, Va.
