The Famous Muskmelon 



Maule's Model 



A Melon of Distinguished 



Pedigree. 

 High Bred at Every Point. 



(Green 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 Gen\ 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 coinmanded 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 fiom 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 efl'ects 

 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 different names. Send to headquarters for the genuine. 



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



349 Solid Netted Burrell's Gem 

 Muskmelon 



A Shipping Melon Fully Equal to the Rocky Ford 



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

 orange fleshed Rocky Ford with 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 

 tiie 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.; 



SOLID NETTED BURRELL'S MUSKMELON. pOUnd, $1.50, postpaid.
