An Unusually Fine Home Gar- 

 den and Shipping Melon

 heavy netting and ribs hardly apparent.

 shipping. It has become popular in all

371 Maule's Perfection (92 days) ij* 



Unsurpassed for Home Garden or Market

 thickly netted, while the flesh is a rich salmon. The large melons are nearly all 

 flesh, the seed cavity being very small, hardly large enough to accommodate
