“FORDHOOK” 
MUSKMELON 
A RED-FLESHED JENNY LIND 
Fully equals Emerald Gem in 
delicious flavor. Rough- 
netted skin, solid, thick 
salmon flesh; better ship- 
per than Rocky Ford. 
This grand new melon is a 
cross between ‘‘Emerald Gem”’ and 
the ‘‘Improved Jenny Lind,’’ re- 
sembling the latter in form and 
fully as delicious as the former. 
Roughly netted, the skin showing 
between the netting being emerald 
green, while the very solid thick 
flesh is of an attractive deep salmon 
color and surpassingly sweet to the 
very rind. Many who have tasted 
it declare it to be even more de- 
licious than Emerald Gem, 
which has always been known as a 
marvel of sweetness. Fordhook

growth, very early and extremely 
prolific, each vine setting from five to nine melons. The melons are remarkably uniform, and there 
are practically no fruits unfit for market. Therind, although thin, is unusually firm, and the flesh so solid 
that the fruits carry well to market. There are no muskmelons (or cantaloupes) that are bet- 
ter shippers. Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; }lb., 85c.; lb., $3.00. 
OUTREMONT BEAUTY ‘or’a*" MUSKMELONS 
This grand new green-fleshed melon, the seed of which we first brought from Canada in 1907, has 
proven a great success among growers of fancy melons, as it never fails to attract attention on account of 
its magnificent size and handsome appearance. New Jersey and Colorado grown cantaloupes seem like 
pigmies in comparison, and single specimens sell readily late in the season at from $1.00 to $2.00 each. 
It is a heavy yielder, the vines being literally loaded with melons weighing from 15 to 25 pounds each, 
which are excellent shippers owing to their densely netted skin. The flesh is very thick (the seed cavity 
being very small, giving but little seed) and delicious in flavor. If you are a market grower, you cannot 
afford not to try ‘“SOUTREMONT BEAUTY 
MUSKMELON.”” SEED GROWN FROM 
ORIGINAL STOCK. Price, pkt., 15c.; 0oz., 
25¢:5 24 Ibs. $1.00; !b.,.$3-50.
