THE ANNE ARUNDEL MUSKMELON 



This is an improvement on the well-known Acme or Baltimore Market Muskmelon, growing fully 

 fifty per cent, larger, and, owing to its very thick, solid flesh, will weigh nearly twice as heavy. Our 

 photograph above gives an idea of its shape and perfect netting, and also suggests the luscious quality 

 of the beautiful green flesh within. Notwithstanding its large size, it is ready for picking immediately 

 after the extra early sorts, is a heavy yielder and bears shipment well, its shape enabling it to resist pres- 

 sure much better than the rounder melons. A specially valuable quality is the hardiness of the vine and 

 its freedom from the blight which attacks many varieties of muskmelon in bad seasons; it will often 

 continue to bear good fruit when other vines have entirely succumbed to unfavorable weather. The 

 Anne Arundel is sure to become a great favorite for both market and family use. Pkt., loc; oz., 20c.;

Improved Netted Gem 

 Muskmelon 



NEW ROSE GEM STRAIN, 



IMPROVED IN SIZE AND SHAPE 



FOR SHIPPERS 



For years many growers have regarded the 

 Golden Netted Gem muskmelon as one of 

 the very best small, early, green-fleshed sorts; 

 but in this Improved iEarly Netted Gem we 

 have a variety that will lead the old sort in pop- 

 ularity as soon as its additional merits become 

 known. As will be observed in our photo- 

 graph alongside, it is a little more oval in shape 

 than the original strain, which gives the melon 

 additional strength to stand shipping. The size 

 has also been improved without losing a day in 

 earliness. As now improved, we regard it as 

 one of the very best and most profitable extra 

 early melons in existence for Market Garden- 

 ers and Shippers, and nothing among the green- 

 fleshed varieties surpasses it for quality. The 

 flesh is fine-grained, deliciously sweet and 

 "■^smooth as butter.'''' Pkt., loc. ; oz., 15c.; X ^-t
