Spicy Green Flesh. Small

A Prodigious Cropper. 

(Green flesh.) A paragon of merit—in size, shape, netting, appear- 
ance, aroma, flavor, depth of flesh, smallness of seed cavity, cropping 
ability and shipping quality. It leaves nothing to be desired. 
Maule’s Model was bred by Mr. Morgan, of Gloucester county, N. J.,an 
expert in his line. Its parents were Netted Gem and Pineapple, with a 
second hybridizing with one of its parents. This was followed by six 
years of careful selection. The result was a melon of wide local celeb- 
rity, and one which commanded exclusive prices in several great cities. 
Maule’s Model is an early melon, maturing in South Jersey the last 
of July tothe firstof August. It is larger than Rocky Ford, the average 
weight being somewhat above two pounds. It has an idea) shape for a 
fashionable market. The flesh is green. The interior seed cavity is 
small, and of triangular or prismatic shape, the seeds being few. 
Asa table melon Maule’s Model cannot besurpassed. In delicacy and

quality of flavor it is unexcelled by any variety on my list. The flesh 
is deep and firm, extending from the rind almost to centre of the melon. 
Maule’s Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to distant 
cities without injury. One of Mr. Morgan’s main markets was over 800 
miles from his farm, and the melons always stood the journey per 
fectly, and would have traveled a thousand miles just as easily. 
Maule’s Model has every good quality possessed by the Rocky Ford 
with the added value of being more productive. It will show the effects: 
of long continued drought, in common with all forms of vegetation, but 
does not seem to lose its strength while lying dormant under a scoreh- 
ing sun. Upon the coming. of rain it responds at once in the way of 
continued growth and abundance of fruit. 
Maule’s Model is now sold all over the U. S. under a half dozen differ- 

ent names. Send to headquarters for the genuine. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
