THE FAMOUS MUSKMELON 



351 



odel 



A Melon of Distingnished 



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 he desired. 



Maule's Model was bred by Mr. Morgan, of Gloucester county, N. J., an 

 expert in his line. Its parents were Netted Gem 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 commanded exclusive prices in several great cities. 



Maule's Model is an early melon, maturing in South Jersey the last 

 of July totheflrst of August. It 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 surpaosed. In delicacy and 



quality of flavor it is unexcelled by any variety on my list. The flesh 

 is deep and firm, extending from the rind almost to centre of the melon. 



Maule's Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to distant 

 cities without injury. One of Mr. Morgan's main markets was over 300 

 miles from his farm, and the melons always stood the journey per- 

 fectly, and would have traveled a thousand miles just as easily. 



Maule's Model has every good quality possessed by the Rocky Ford, 

 with the added value of being more productive. It will show the effects 

 of long continued drought, in common with all forms of vegetation, but 

 does not seem to lose its strength while lying dornaant 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 now sold all over the U. S. under a half dozen differ- 

 ent names. Send to headquarters for the genuine. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00, postpaid.
