3x1 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 standsat 50 cts. to $1.00 each. 
(Salmon fiesh.) The shape of this melon is 
well shown in the illustration herewith; eolor of 
skin is a deeprich green, well ribbed and thickly 
netted, while the flesh is a rich salmon. The 
melon is nearly all flesh, the interior being very 
small, hardly large enough to accommodate the f% 
seed. In flavor it is simply unexcelled, and it hy 
certainly justifies its name, given by us in 1884, § 
by its past experience and real merit. It is so }} 
thick fleshed that one melon is enough for two or 
three people under ordinary circumstances, and { 
in a patch ofan acre or more you can find hundreds 
of melons that very closely resemble the large 
French melons sold on fruit stands. Matures in 
7 days. For the home garden or near market 
trade it is unsurpassed.
