This Melon has made its way into public 

 favor from the market rather than the gar 

 den, and is highly prized by those who like 

 an exceedingly sweet and highly flavored 

 Melon. It is medium sized, oval, slight ly^ 

 ribbed, dark green in color, covered' 

 more or less with shallow netting. 

 The flesh is deep salmon color and 

 very thick, there being but a sUght 

 cavity in the center of even the 

 largest fruit. A favorite varietv for 

 the market. We have taken a great 

 deal of pains to develop the thick, 

 deep, rich colored and fine flavored 

 flesh of this sort and a careful com- 

 parison on our trial grounds prove it 

 to be unequaled even by "special se- 

 lected seed" offered at high prices. Send
