30 Pollock’s Solid 
Rock Muskmelon 
Wonderful Shipper 
A green fleshed variety of the most 
exquisite quality. The handsomest, best 
netted and most profitable early melon 
‘}in existence for market gardeners and 
shippers. The finest rust resisting melon 
on the market. 
(Green flesh.) It gives us much 
pleasure to be able to offer to our cus- 
tomers this grand early solid net strain 
of Roeky Ford. It has the heaviest, 
thickest flesh and the smallest seed 
cavity of all the Rocky Ford musk- 
melons. The illustration is a repro- 
duction of a photograph. Its oval 
shape is the same as the Rocky Ford 
With a solid white netting. The aver- 
age yield is over 250 crates per acre of 
A No. 1 shipping melons, fully a third 
more than other sorts. Theextra thick 
ereen flesh has a beautiful pinkish hue 
of the most delicious quality, and is 
one of the best rust resisting melons 
ever produced. It is a wonderful pro- 
ducer and a profitable market sort; a 
remarkably fine shipper. Our seed is 
direct from headquarters, grown in 
Rocky Ford, Colorado. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 
quarter pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00. 
POLLOCK’S SOLID ROCK MUSKMELON. 
’s Perfecti 
1 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 the large French melons 
sold on the fruit stands at $1.00 to $2.00 each. 
(Salmon flesh.) Weare very glad indeed to an- 
nounce this year that we have a very fine crop ot K 
Maule’s Perfection Muskmelon. The shape is f ‘MATE Vp) Ed 
well shown in the illustration herewith; color of ie fe 
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 Pay 
small, hardly large enough to accommodate the WWWaeG SEI) 
seed. In flavor it is simply unexcelled, and it} SAN BOM oe 
certainly justifies its name, given by us in 1884, WN WATE 
by its past experience and real merit. We can 
safely challenge any seedsman in America to } 
produce a finer melon in flavor or appearance. 
Itis so thick fleshed that one melon is enough 
for three or four people under ordinary circum- 
stances, and in a patch of an acre or more youcan 
find hundreds of melons that very closely resemble 
the large French melons sold on fruit stands. If 
it has a fault it is in the fact that it will not stand 
shipping like Rocky Ford, but for the home gar- 
den or near market trade it is unsurpassed. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 
quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50, postpaid.
