Fordhook 



(Orange flesh.) This melon resembles the Prize Jenny Llnd In shape. 

 The vine is a strong vigorous grower, branching freely and frequently 

 setting five to nine melons close to the iiill. The melons grow very 

 even and regular in size and attractive In appearance, slightly flat- 

 tened at both stem and blossom ends. The shape is shown in the illus- 

 cration. Thej' are roughly netted. The flesh is very tliick, color an 

 ittractive deep orange and of a delicious flavor. Remarkably early 

 ind a good shipper. Medium sized.melon for both home and market. 



Packet, 10 cts.- ounce, 15 cts.; \^ pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.23. 



The Bush Muskmelon 



(Green flesh.) Its bush habit enables this melon to be gi-own in the 

 small garden where the vine sorts could not be grown because of lack of 

 room. The plants grow from 15 to IS inches in length, and two or three 

 plants can be grown in a hill 2>^ to 3 feet apart. The flesh is deep, of 

 luscious sweetness, eatable almost to the rind and of light green color 

 tinged with salmon as it approaches the centre. The fruit is of the 

 "Jenny Lind" type but larger, growing about 5 inches in diameter, vary- 

 ing in shape from a trifle flattened at the ends to almost spherical. 

 Deeply netted, with shallow ribs. Should have a place in your garden. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; ^ pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

34S Bowman's Gold Coin 



The Pink Meated Osage Type. 



Earlier Thein Osage or Miller's Cream. 



A Good Distance Shipper. 



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

 than the Petoskey or Paul Rose by 10 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. Petoskey or 

 Paul Rose, Osage or Miller's Cream, is not to be 

 compared with it in quality or general value. 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. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 13 cents; 

 1^ pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25, postpaid. 



36S Baltimore or Acme 



(Green flesh.) Also called Anne Arundel. This 

 melon is large, showy and quite early. It is strong- 

 ly netted, and has thick green flesh of rich flavor 

 and aroma. It is a well shaped and well marked 

 melon, and is one of the best all around melons in 

 cultivation. An excellent shipper, and desirable 

 for home market where a large melon is demanded. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 

 ^ pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents. 



349 Solid Netted BurrelFs Gem 

 Miiskmelon 



A Shipping Melon Fully Equal to the Rocky Ford 



(Orange fleshed.) This new muskmelon may be called an 

 orange fleshed Rocky Ford -svith solid netting, which is quite 

 different from the original Burrell's Gem. By careful breed- 

 ing, the ribs have been reduced in size until now they are al- 

 most solid netted, The oval shaped melons are well shown in 

 the illustration. They are very thick fleshed, fine grained, 

 rich orange colored, sweet and spicy. For a shipping melon, 

 they pack ideal, both for size and shape, and for market where 

 a pink or orange fleshed melon is wanted, we recommend Solid 

 Netted Burrell's Gem, and for the home garden, it is one of 

 the best orange fleshed sorts. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; quarter-pound, 40 cts.; 

 pound, $1.50, postpaid.
