MUSKMELONS 



German, Melone. French, Melon. 



SALMON OR ORANGE FLESHED. 



The Melon grows best in light soil. Plant in hills about 

 6 feet apart, mixing in each hill a shovelful of well-rotted 

 manure. Sow about a dozen Seeds in every hill, early in 

 May, and when well started thin out to three or four of the 

 strongest plants. Pinch off the shoots and thin out the 

 young fruit if it sets too plentifully, so as to increase 

 the size of the remainder.

CURRIE'S MILWAUKEE MARKET 



THE BEST MELOX FOR TIIK HOME UAHUE.V 



AXD 5IARKET. 



Exceedingly Prolific, Strong. Vigorous Grower. 



Vnsurpas.-ied in Flavor. 



A wonderfully luxuriant grower, combining more 

 good qualities than any other now on the market. It 

 is exceedingly productive and especially fine flavored; 

 very attractive in appearance, medium in size and rip- 

 ens medium early. The flesh is a deep salmon, color, 

 thick, firm and solid, and possesses a rich, aromatic 

 flavor. The fruit is very uniform in size, and every 

 Melon is a good one, sweet and luscious to the rind. 

 As a market gardener's Melon we believe it has no 

 equal, and it is an excellent shipper.

CURRIE'S SELECTED P.AUL ROSE, or Petoskey — The result 

 of a cross bet^ween the well-known Osage and Netted Gem. 

 It combines the swee<;ness of the Osage ■nith the fine net- 

 ting of the Gem. Added to this, the firmness of the rind, 

 heavy texture of flesh and small seed cavity makes it a 

 most desirable market grower's Melon. Flesh salmon. 



Emerald Gem — When an extra early Melon for home use is 

 wanted nothing can .equal this superb sort. It is of me- 

 dium size," outside skin emerald green and smooth. Ripens

 is thick and juicy, of a nice salmon color; for s'weetness

 green skin and thick flesh, which is a beautiful salmon
