{nches thick, whitish green color, of fine texture, possessing a peculiar

210R MUSKMELON. 
MAULE’S SUPE 
MAULES SUPERIOR. 
This excellent early muskmelon, which I introduced, 
(Green flesh.) 
now holds a permanent place in public esteem. It ripens about the 
Same time as Jenny Lind, but is rather larger than that variety. Its 
shape and appearance are shown in the illustration. The vine is very 
prolific, frequently producing five to seven melons. The quality is un- 
Surpassed, and it is a perfect shipper. The fruit is never known to 
crack or rot at the blossom end. 
Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 4 pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00.

NEW FORDHOOK. 
(Orange flesh.) This new melon is a cross 
between Emerald Gem and the Prize Jenny 
Lind. It resembles the Prize Jenny Lind in 
shape. The vine is a strong vigorous grower, 
branching freely and frequently setting five to 
nine melons close to the hill. The melons grow 
very even and regular in size and attractive in 
appearance; slightly flattened at both stem and 
blossom ends. The shape is shown in the illus- 
tration. They are roughly netted, the skin 
showing between the nettings being emerald 
green. ‘The fiesh is very thick, color an attrac- 
)tive deep orange and of a delicious flavor. 
Remarkably early and a good shipper. A good 
medium sized melon for both home and market 
garden. The Fordhook Melon came through 
the past season with flying colors, and it is 
certainly going to make a name for itself with 
all growers of fine melons, who desire a smal] 
orange fleshed variety. It will be planted in 
1910 more largely than ever. Seed direct from 
headquarters stock. 
PKt., 10 cts.; 0z., 25 cts.; 4 Ib., 75 cts.; Ib., $2.50.

(Salmon flesh.) For a market where the orange fleshed muskmelonse 
are in demand; they bring much the highest prices. It has a tough thin 
rind, well arched ribs; covered with a closely laced and interlaced gray 
petting. Shape quite elongated; flesh of a reddish orange, very thick, 
fine grained and spicy. The melons average about 2!4 lbs., with an 
average size of 6 inches long, 444 inches thick, and will crate more 
evenly than any other melon grown.

IMPROVED WATTER’S SOLID NET ROCKY FORD MUSKMELON., 
Improved Watter’s Solid Net Rocky Ford. 
(Green flesh.) I am glad to be able to offer this season the earliest 
strain of Rocky Ford. About 90 per cent. of these melons are solid net 
as shown in the illustration. his variety sets a very heavy first crop, 
so that, within a few days after the first ripe melons heavy pickings are 
ripening. It is a most valuable sort to plant where first melons on the 
market is of great importance. Produces melons of even size and 
Shape. The heavy gray netting is closely laced and very slightly 
Tibbed. The thick flesh is light green, spicy and sweet. This variety 
is in demand by many of the most successful market growers. My 
stock is direct from headquarters, grown in Rocky Ford, Colorado. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 4 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.50.
