THANKSGIVING MUSKMELON. {Toogoodo.) 



The greatest novelty of the season— a delicious melon for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. An entirely new 

 and distinct variety, different from any other heretofore introduced, on account of its keeping qualities, produc- 

 _ _ tiveness, and being well adapted to any climate that will pro- 



I HAN ly * — r-=—^ 5 KM F IP M The melons grow io a fair size (see illustration), of a bright, 

 ■ - --==-z=z - - l» fresh, yellowish green color, beautifully mottled with gray 



The flesh is very thick, and when fully ripe, has a rich aroma 

 and most delicious, rich, spicy flavor; can be eaten so close to 

 the rind as to leave but a very thin shell. The novelty of the 

 melon is further noticeable, by its large seeds, which are un- 

 like those of other muskmelons. The vines are very hardy 

 and productive. Its great value lies in the fact that it can be 

 used on the table or brought to market and sold as late as De- 

 cember and January, when melons command a ready sale at 

 from 5Cc. to $1.00 each. Thanksgiving Muskmelon is the only 

 melon yet introduced that will perfect its growth, ripen and 

 keep during the winter in- this latitude. We have purchased 

 our seed direct from the original growers stock and offer the 

 same until supply is exhausted at the following price: Pkt., 

 (50 seeds), 12c; }4 oz. (equal to 3 pkts.), 25c; % oz., 45c; oz., 

 80c. Full directions for cultivating and keeping the melons 

 throusrh the winter printed on each package of seed. %W For other varieties of Melons, see pages 16 and 17. 



NOTE. The shape of the Thanksgiving Muskmelon is correctly shown in the illustration above, which is made 

 from a photograph taken late in November, of a melon weighing nearly eight pounds.
