* 348 Bowman's Gold Coin Muskmelon 



The Sweetest of the Salmon-Fleshed Sorts 



(Salmon flesh.) Bowman's Gold Coin Is earlier than Paul Rose or Petoskey, maturing 

 In 70 days. It is two or three times as large, and a great deal more netted, of lighter skin, 

 wider ribbed, of deeper flesh and better quality. It also yields twice as many melons to 

 the acre. The specimens run from round to oblong, often both on the same vine, some of 

 the specimens weighing 6 to 7 pounds. In Bowman's Gold Coin we consider we have 

 ifound what we have long been looking for — a melon equal to the Emerald Gem in 

 quality, but a better shipper. Excellent for both the home garden or for market. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, SO cents; 

 quarter pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75; 5 pounds, $S.S5, postpaid. 



359 Texas Cannonball 



A real Sunproof and Insect prool Melon 



(Green flesh.) This splendid muskmelon 

 produces medium size melons in 75 days. In flavor 

 it is first class and its dense netting makes it 

 almost sun and insect proof, this being a very 

 great advantage where insects are troublesome 

 and melons liable to sunscald. Is almost all meat, 

 seed cavity being small. The firm, green flesh is 

 very spicy. If you have found it difficult to grow 

 any other varieties of muskmelon try Texas Can- 

 nonball, as it succeeds where other varieties fall.

 quarter pound, 40 cts.; pouufl,$l.;25, postpaid.

 Edwards Perfecto, the Salmon Tinted Rocky 

 Ford. Famous for its luscious flavor.

 even and regular in size and attractive in appearance, slightly flat- 

 tened at both stem and blossom ends. The shape Is shown in the illus- 

 tration. They are roughly netted. The flesh is very thick, color an

358 FORDHOOK MUSKMELON. 



349 Solid Netted BurrelFs Gem 



A Shipping Melon Fully 

 Equal to the Rocky Ford 



(Orange fleshed.) This new muskmelon may be called an orange 

 fleshed Rocky Ford with solid netting, which is quite different from the 

 original Burrell's Gem. By careful breeding, the ribs have been reduced 

 in size until now they are almost solid netted. The oval shaped melons 

 are well shown in the illustration. They are very thick fleshed, fine 

 grained, rich orange colored, sweet and spicy. For a shipping melon, 

 they pack ideal, both for size and shape, and for either market or home 

 use where a pink or orange fleshed melon Is wanted, we recommend 

 Solid Netted Burrell's Gem. Matures in 75 days. 



Packet, 8 cts.; oz.) 15 cts.; lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50, postpaid.
