Yellow -Meated Japan Muskmelon 



It is known among market growers that the pink-fleshed 

 varieties of Muskmelons are more hardy and less liable to 

 blight and disease than the green-fleshed sort, and the 

 Yellow-Meated Japan is no exception to the rule. They are 

 very prolific, producing large fruits quite early. The melons 

 are nearly round, slightly ribbed and covered with patches 

 of netting. The skin is of a yellowish white color when 

 ripe, but the crowning feature of this melon is its thick 

 salmon-colored flesh. It is deliciously rich, sweet and tender, 

 fairly melting in the mouth, and its exquisite flavor will 

 surprise and please all who use it. It is one of the finest 

 flavored melons in the market. 



Owing to the color of its skin, I do not recommend it as a 

 market melon, except for hotel use, but as a family melon it 

 should be tried by all. Price, pkt. locts., 02. 15 cts., ^Ib. 

 50 cts., lb. f 1. 50, by mail postpaid. 



Yellow-Meated Japan Muskmelon 



Ailsa Craig Onion 



This is a great exhibition Onion in England and is 

 largely illustrated in every English catalogue. It grows 

 to an immense size, three and one-half to four pounds 

 each being frequently recorded. It is of a beautiful 

 yellow or straw-color, slightly pointed at each end, and 

 to obtain the best results the seed should be sown in 

 the hotbed and transplanted from 4 to 6 inches apart. 

 As a show or exhibition Onion it should be a great 

 success on account of its fine appearance. It is also an 

 excellent table sort, being mild in flavor and a good 

 keeper. Price, pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz 35 cts., 

 ^Ib. f 1.25, by mail postpaid. 



Selected Netted Rock, or Pollock Strciin Muskmelon 



Selected Netted Rock Muskmelon 



This is of the celebrated "Pollock" strain of the 

 Rockyford Muskmelon. It is nearly round in shape, 

 very heavily netted and very slightly ribbed with the 

 netting covering the grooved portion. It is sometimes 

 called the "Solid Net." The flesh is extremely thick 

 and the seed cavity is marvelously small, making it a 

 very meaty heavy melon for its size. The flesh is 

 deliciously sweet and of very fine texture, being the 

 same in this respect as the best strain of Rockyford. 

 This strain also has the reputation, in Colorado, of 

 being the most vigorous and best blight-resisting strain 

 of any of this class of melons. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 

 15 cts., %\h. 40 cts., lb. $1.25.
