Rocky Ford or Netted Gem 
Muskmelon 
(Green flesh.) In this Rocky Ford Melon we offer our cus- 
tomers a strain of seed grown for us by one 
of the very best, if not the best, growers of 
melons in Rocky Ford, Colo. The seed is 
saved from a field in which not a single 
melon has been sold, in other words only 
the best and choicest melons have been 
retained for seed. These melons if shipped 
to the Eastern markets would have brought 
the highest prices, consequently the seed we 
offer costs us an unusually high price. 
This strain of Rocky Ford is equal to any 
small green fleshed melon now on the mar- 
. ket, and we wish to state while this is the 
, best green fleshed sort, Bowman’s Gold Coin 
on page 53 of this Seed Book is the best 
salmon fleshed variety of this character.

ss 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 $100 prize, and it was very gratifying 
to us to know that so many felt compelled on ac- 
count of its sweet, delicious flavor to callthis grand /f 
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 fiesh is green, inclining to yel- 
low. The spicy flavor is as distinct and character- 
istic as it is sweet and pleasing. The flesh is both 
deep and firm, the edible portion almost touching 
the rind, and remarkably juicy.
