Pride of Muscaline 



405 Pride of Muscatine (90 days) ^ 



Large, Oblong Melons; the Best Wilt-Kesistant 



The Wilt-Resistant qualities of Pride of Muscatine have been so satisfactory 

 that we recommend its use everywhere and especially in sections where wilt 

 is prevalent. The general appearance is similar to Kleckley's Sweet, being 

 nearly 20 in. long; skin is dark green, faintly striped while the flesh is deep 

 red, tender, sweet and crisp. Fine for the table, and as the rind is heavy and 

 tough, it makes it most desirable for shipping.
