NEW i HELROSE i HUSK i HELON. 



NEW MELKOSE MUSK MELON. 



This new variety is a very hardy, 

 strong and vigorous grower, the 

 vines remaining green longer than 

 any other variety. The Melons are 

 produced abundantly, and very clos? 

 to the hill,— a feature of the greatest 

 value. The color is rich, darli green; 

 the shape is oval. The Melons aver- 

 age in weight about four pound'^, 

 and are finely and deeply netted, 

 showing but slight tendency to rib. 

 The flesh is very thick and solid; 

 clear light-green in color, shading to 

 a rich salmon. In flavor this, THE 

 MELROSE, cannot be equalled by 

 any other variety, and carries its 

 superior quality and sweetness to 

 the extreme edge of the skin. It can 

 be said of this superb new variety 

 that it will produce more good, sala- 

 ble melons, "hold up" longer, stand 

 more handling and rough usage than 

 any other known, thus making it the 

 best and most desirable, either for 

 home or market purposes.

GRAND RAPIDS MUSK MELON. 



The Earliest Large Musk Melon. 



A new, extra early, yellow-fleshed sort of liandsome 

 shape. Il is a most profitable sort to the gardeners on account 

 of its size, attractive appearance and Us extreme earlmess. Its 

 flavor is not as good as that of other standard melons but it is 

 leady for market before any other large Melon can be picked 

 and that fact insures its ready sales. It is undoubtedly a 

 ''money maker'' and every melon grower should plant it. The 

 melons vary somewhat in shape, some are oblong while others 

 are round.
