 No large 



grower's stock is complete without 

 this superb melon. 



This handsome melon, introdui^ed 

 by us several years ago, was for 

 years a special favorite with a num- 

 ber of the leading growers of Anne 

 Arundel County, Maryland. This 

 county is justly celebrated as grow- 

 ing the finest Cantaloupes in tlie 

 country. We might almost say the 

 finest in the world. Knowing its 

 value, we selected the stock and 

 placed it before our customers. It 

 has met every promise we made for 

 it upon its introduction. Pkt., 5c. 

 Oz., 10c. % lb., 25c. lb., 75c. 



One grower says: "It is in all re- 

 spects one of the best of melons." 



Another says: 



"Portsmouth, Va. 

 "Dear Sirs — The Anne Arundel 

 Cantaloupe was perfectly satisfac- 

 tory — just what it is claimed to be. 

 It proved to be early, of good size, 

 and gave me a large yield." 



=" - = I'AUL ROSK. 



This variety originated with one of the most succe'^ssf iri 

 melon growers in the country, who reportf that whei 

 planted for market the fruit has brought him nearly twice 

 as much per acre as he realized from any other sort In 

 this new sort are combined all the good Qualities of fhl 

 Netted Gem and the Osage, the varieties ^from which ll 

 originated. The fruit is oval, about 5 inches in mameter 

 and in shape and genei-al appearance similar to the well- 

 known Netted Gem or Rocky Ford. The firm flesh is a rich 

 orange-red color, like that of the Osage, but even sweeter 

 and higher flavored retaining its good qualities quite to 

 the rind. We have found the fruit the most uniformly good 

 of any musk melon we have ever grown, every one of the 

 hundreds tested being sweet and rich flavored It is rarl 

 that a musk melon of such superlative quality is a good 

 market or shipping sort, but the firm, solid flesh and thin 

 but strong rmd of this sort makes it the best shipper we 

 wfTv,?^,' s just the size for hotel and table uje 



we think it really has no equal as a market melon for pro- 

 fessional melon-growers, and it is one of the very best sorts 

 for^ the home garden. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. % lb., 30c. Ib.^ 



NORFOLK 



BUTTON 



An improved strain of Early Jenny Lind, 

 having a nub or button on the blossom end 

 which gives it a distinction over all other 

 varieties. It is very early, of remarkably 

 fine texture and delicious flavor, and pro- 

 duces fruits of the finest quality. It is 

 extra fine for both home and market use. 

 We are putting the above on the market for 

 the first time, and have but a limited supply 

 of seed. Those who wish to secure a trial 

 order will do well by placing their order at 

 once.

BANQUET 



This superb melon represents years 

 of careful selection and improvement. 

 The raiser regards it as his greatest 

 production, and likely to supersede 

 all other red-fleshed melons. "The 

 Banquet" is a medium-sized melon, 

 flat at both ends, and more beautifully 

 netted than any known variety. In 

 quality it has no equal; the flesh is 

 uniformly deep and of that granu- 

 lated character that always Indicates 

 a good melon; the color is a dark, rich 

 salmon.
