MTLLER CREAM. 



1>liller Cream (Osage). This truly gi-and variety is a 

 cross between SiU's Hybrid and Casaba, growing rather 

 larger than the first named. The flesh is of a rich sal- 

 mon color, very sweet and melting in quality, and so 

 very thick that the melon is almost solid, the seed cav- 

 ity being remarkably smaU. Rind thin, slightly netted 



and of a bronzy green when ripe. Unexcelled for pro- 

 ductiveness. {See illustration.) Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c ; 

 lb., 25c; lb., 80c. 



Winter Pineapple. The pioneer of a class of melons 

 that may prove of considerable value. They seldom 

 ripen on the vine, and must be picked and stored in 

 some place secure from frost. To ripen them thoroughly 

 place them in a warm room for several days before 

 using, and in this way they may be had aU winter. 

 The flesh is of a delicate lemon-yellow and the flavor 

 is very rich. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; }£ lb., 50c; lb., §1.50. 



I^lango Melon {Vegetable Peach or Vine Peach). This 

 peculiar new vegetable grows on a vine like the melon, 

 and is golden-j'-ellow in color, resembling an orange in 

 shape and size; the flesh snowy white. They are used, 

 when green, in like manner as the Egg Plant ; they also 

 make splendid • mangoes, staffed like peppers. When' 

 first ripening they are hard and tasteless, but soon 

 become mellow, with a very rich flavor. For sweet 

 pickles, pies or preserves tjiey have no equal. Very 

 early and hardy, and the vines are literally covered 

 with f iTiit. Well adapted to the northwest where fruit 

 is scarce. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c. 



Garden Lemon. We are pleased to introduce this to 

 our customers as worthy of their attention. It is a very 

 interesting fruit, about the size of a lemon; bright 

 golden color; flesh about half an inch thick with an 

 agreeable, pleasant flavor, subacid, -Rith the richness of 

 the Musk Melon; a desirable addition to the list of new 

 fruits. Plant and cultivate same as Musk Melons.

Dixie. An excellent melon, better known but not so 

 good as Hoosier King. It is a tough-sMnned Melon

Kolb Gem. Ten years ago this was the leading melon, 

 but it has been superseded by better sorts. A very good 

 shipping melon, with sweet flesh, but it lacks the melt-

 popular with many, and we offer them pm-e stock.
