BUCKBEE'S PRIZETAKER 



The W orld Beating Musk Melon

 than Osage. Has a more vigorous vine, and be- 

 cause of its vigorous growth is a great yislder 

 The fruit is about six inches in diameter, round 

 or slightly elongated, slightly ribbed. Color, a 

 pecuUar pea green, with netting a lighter shade. 

 The flesh is firm, fine grained, of a rich salmon 

 or red color. In flavor it even surpasses the best 

 grown Osage or Emerald Gem. The flesh ex- 

 tends to the rind and retains its color and qual- 

 ity quite to the outer shell. The flesh is thick,
