Queen Ann's Melon or Pomegranate 



QUEEN ANN'S 

 Sweet Scented 

 Pocket 

 MELON or 

 POMEGRANATE 

 A vigorous climbing 

 variety; fruit very 

 small.iflattened at the 

 ends, without ribs, 

 but marked with 

 bands either of green 

 or broad blotches of 

 greenish yellow; flesh 

 not very thick, pale 

 orange colored, not 

 edible; grown chiefly 

 for ornament and its 

 agreeable pungent per- 

 fume; trained on trel- 

 lisses or arbors it la 

 very ornamental. 

 It is easy to grow 

 and nothing is more 

 fragrant. Pkt. 10c. 



BANANA 

 MELON 



(Yellow Flesh.) This 

 most curious, but most 

 exquisitely flavored 

 Melon grows to a 

 length of eighteen to 

 thirty inches and is 

 two to four inches in 

 diameter. The flesh is 

 quite deep. In ap- 

 pearance and odor it 

 greatly r.esembles a 

 Banana. Seed scarce 

 this year, order early. 



Pkt. Sc.; oz. 20c.; 

 2 oz. 3Sc. 



New Garden Lemon. 



Colorado Preserving Citron. 



NEW GARDEN LEMON 



Certainly one of the greatest novelties of recent introduction. Resembles the Vine 

 Peach in manner of growth, but is distinct in that the unripe fruit is striped with very dark 

 green spots, nearly black, and when ripe is not russeted like the Vegetable Peach. Has a 

 finer flesh and most desirable acid flavor, thus dispensing with sliced 

 lemon, which is so important in putting up the Vegetable Peach. 

 Unexcelled for general canning purposes. Cultivate similar to 

 Musk Melons, in hills three feet apart each -way. True stock 

 seed. Pkt. 10c. ; oz. 25c. 



THE MANGO MELON, or VEGETABLE PEACH 



Another splendid novelty of late introduction, very striking in 

 color, most wonderful yielder. Vines of Garden Lemon and Mango 

 Melon are somewhat smaller than the Musk Melon vine, though 

 requiring same cultivation. Fruit is about the size of an Orange, 

 orange shaped, and a bright orange-yellow color, somewhat rus- 

 seted. For sweet pickles, pies or preserving thev are splendid. 

 Pkt. lOc; oz. 25c.
