* ik% Maule's Gold Coin Muskmelon 



70 days. The Sweetest of the Salmon-FIeshed Sorts 



(Salmon flesh.) Maule's Gold Coiu is earlier than Osage or Miller's Cream, maturing in 70 

 'days. It is somewhat larger, and a great deal more netted, of lighter skin, wider ribbed, of 

 deeper flesh and better quality. It also yields twice as many melons to the acre. The 

 specimens run from round to oblong, often both on the same vine, some of the specimens 

 weighing 8 to 7 pounds. In Maule's Gold Coin we consider we have found what we have long 

 been looking for — a melon equal to the Emerald Gem in quality, but a better shipper. Ex- 

 cellent for botli the home garden and for market. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 ceitts; 

 quarter pound, 60 cents; pound, $1.75; 9 pounds, $S.35, postpaid. 



100 days. The Famous New Melon; Sweetest Melon Grown 



(Orange flesh.) New type of melon, cross between 

 cantaloupe and a Casaba. The fruit is oval-shaped, 

 about 6 inches in diameter and 7 to 8 inches long, 

 weighing from 8 to 10 pounds each. It ripens in 

 about 100 days. The skin is smooth, dull white when 

 ripe. The rind is thin but tough. The flesh is 

 thick, of rich, orange color. This melon has been 

 appropriately named; it is of a distinct honey like 

 flavor, more luscious and juicy than any otlier 

 muskmelon. 



It is the best keeper and shipper of all and will 



stay in good condition several weeks after it is ripe. 



Can be grown to" perfection in all sections. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 



quarter pound, 60 cts.; pound, $1.75;

355 MAULE'S HONEY MUSKMELON. 



(Green flesh.) We call it Honey from the fact that 

 56 of our customers suggested this name, in com- 

 petition for a WOO prize, and it was very gratifying 

 to us to know that so many felt compelled on 

 account of its sweet, delicious flavor to call this 

 grand melon Honey. Maule's Honey muskmelon 

 is of medium size, weighing 3 to 4 pounds on an 

 average. It is distinctly and evenly ribbed and 

 moderately netted; globe shape and somewhat 

 flattened at the stem and blossom end. Its exterior 

 color is a peculiar shade of green, quite unlike any 

 other muskmelon. The flesh is green, inclining to 

 yellow. The spicy flavor is as distinct and char- 

 acteristic as it is sweet and pleasing. The flesh is 

 botli deep and firm, the edible portion almost 

 touching the rind. Matures in 75 days. Excellent 

 home garden or market sort.
