The Famous Muskmelon 



Maule's Model 



A Melon of Distinguished 



Pedigree. 

 High Bred at Every Point. 



{3ieen flesh.) A paragon of merit— in size, shape, netting, appear- 

 ance, aroma, flavor, depth of flesh, smallness of seed cavity, cropping 

 ability and shipping quality. It leaves nothing to be desired. 



Maule's Model was bred from the Netted Gem and Pineapple, with a 

 second hybridizing with one of its parents. This was followed by six 

 years of careful selection. The result was a melon of wide local celeb- 

 rity, and one which commanded exclusive prices in several great cities. 



Maule's Model is an early melon, maturing in South Jersey the last 

 of July to the first of August. 11 is larger than Rocky Ford, the average 

 weight being somewhat above two pounds. It has an ideal shape for a 

 fashionable market. The flesh is green. The interior seed cavity is 

 small, and of triangular or prismatic shape, the seeds being few. 



As a table melon Maule's Model cannot be surpassed. In delicacy and 



quality of flavor it is unexcelled by any variety in our list. The flesh 

 is deep and firm, extending from the rind almost to centre of the melon. 



Maule's Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to distant 

 cities without injury. 



Maule's Model has every good quality possessed by the Rocky Ford, 

 with the added value of being more productive. It will show the effects 

 of long continued drought, in common with all forms of vegetation, but 

 does not seem to lose its strength while lying dormant under a scorch- 

 ing sun. Upon the coming of rain it responds at once in the way of 

 continued growth and abundance of fruit. 



Maule's Model is just what is wanted for the home or market garden. 



Maule's Model is now sold all over the United States under a half 

 dozen difl'erent names. Send to headquarters for the genuine. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50, postpaid.

Texas Cannonball 



f Green flesh.) This 

 splendid muskmelon is 

 especially desirable for 

 home use and nearby 

 markets. Medium in ma- 

 turity and size and of flat- 

 tened, rounded shape. In 

 flavor It is first class and 

 its dense netting makes 

 it almost sun and insect 

 proof, this being a very 

 irreat advantage where 

 insects are troublesome 

 and melons liable to sun- 

 scald. Is almost all meat,

 very spicy. If you have 

 found it difficult to grow 

 any other varieties of 

 muskmelon try Texas 

 Cannonball, as it succeeds 

 where other varieties fail.
