JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 



THE SHIPPER'S DELIGHT MUSKMELON. 



This very distinct new melon was introduced by us last season after distributing, the year 

 previous, for advance trial among our customers, about 10,000 packets. It would have required almost 

 €very page of this book to publish all the favorable reports from it, and, after looking them over, we 

 could only arrive at one conclusion, and that is that it is one of the very best early green-fleshed melons 

 in cultivation. Its fine appearance and peculiar shape, in each melon having a button on the blossom 

 end, are well shown in our photograph above. They mature early, are of good size for market, flesh 

 green, thick and of delicious quality. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 20c.; J lb., 50c.; lb., $1.50.
