PAUL ROSE. Previous to the in- 

 tru'inction of this variety, there has been 

 no ?alraou-fleshed miiskmelon that is a 

 lir?t-cla5s shipper and kteper. These 

 two important properties arc possessed by 

 this variety to a remarkable degree. Then, 

 itis exceedingly prolific, equaling thepopii- 

 lar Netted Gem iu productiveness, and 

 evtry one of the melons is a rjood one. 

 The melons are of good size, though not 

 of the largest, very uniform, rich" light 

 green, with faint golden hue when fully 

 ripe, slightly riboed and heavily netted ; 

 fier-h salmon color, extnt thick, owing to 

 its very small seed cavity, of splendid 

 quality, delicious, and sweet. I know of 

 no variety that will remain go vigorous 

 and healthful throughout the season as 

 this. It is unsurpassed for the family 

 garden and a sure money-maker for the 

 market gardener. My seed Is of my own 

 growing at my farm at DeaL S^. ./., and 

 I know it to fje^ first class. Pkt., 5c ; oz..
