348 Bowman's Gold Coin 



The Sweetest of the Salmon-FIeshed Sorts 



(Salraon flesh.) Bowman's Gold Coin is earlier 

 than Paul Rose or Petoskey, maturing in 70 days. It 

 Is two or three times as large, 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 6 to 7 pounds. In Bowman'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.

355 Maule's Honey 



Noted lor its Very Rich, Sweet and Sugary Flavor 



(Green flesh.) "We call it Honey from the fact that 56 of our customers 

 suggested this name, in competition for a $100 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 characteristic as It is sweet and pleasing. The 

 flesh is both deep and flrm, the edible portion almost touching the 

 rind. Matures in 75 days.
