371 Maule's Perfection 



The most delicious of all large melons. 

 Weigh 8 to 10 pounds each, and attracts 

 attention anywhere. Flesh from 2 to 3 inches 

 in thickness, and in shape and general appear- 

 ance it resembles tjie large French melons 

 sold on the fruit stands at 50 cts. to $1.00 each^ 



(Salmon flesh.) The Bhape of this melon is 

 well shown In the Illustration herewith; color of 

 skin is a deep rich green, well ribbed and thickly 

 netted, while the flesh is a rich salmon. The 

 melon is nearly all flesh, the Interior being very 

 small, hardly large enough to accommodate the 

 seed. In flavor It is simply unexcelled, and it 

 certainly Justifies its name, given by us in 1884, 

 by its past experience and real merit. It Is so 

 thick fleshed that one melon Is enough for two or 

 three people under ordinary circumstances, and 

 in a patch of an acre or more you can find hundreds 

 of melons that very closely resemble the large 

 French melons sold on fruit stands. Matures in 

 75 days. For the home garden or near naarket 

 trade it is unsurpassed.
