{ Spicy Green Flesh. Smal! 
Seed Cavity. ; 

A paragon of merit—in size, shape, netting, appearance, 
aroma, flavor, depth of flesh, smallness of seed cavity, cropping 
ability and shipping quality. It leaves nothing to be desired. 
The 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 celebrity, and one which com- 
manded exclusive prices in several great cities. 
The Model is an early melon, maturing in South Jersey the 
jiast of July to the first of August. It is larger than Rocky 
Ford, the average weight being somewhat above two pounds. 
It has an ideal shape for the fashionable market. The flesh 
is green. The interior seed cavity is small, and of triangular 
or prismatic shape, the seeds being comparatively few. 
As a table melon the Model cannot be surpassed. In deli-

my list. The flesh is deep and firm, extending from the rind 
almost to the centre of the melon. 
The Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to 
distant cities without injury. Oneof Mr. Morgan’s main mar- 
kets was over 300 miles from his farm, and the melons always 
stood the journey perfectly, and would have travelled a thous- 
and miles just as easily. 
The Model has every good quality possessed by the Rocky 
Ford, with the added value of being more productive. It

with all forms of vegetation, but does not seem to lose its 
strength while lying dormant under a scorching sun. Upon 
the coming of rain it responds at once in the way of continued 
growth and abundance of fruit. 
No American melon grower can afford to miss trying the 
Model. It is a prize in all respects. It sells freely in the mar-
