mu$k melon. 



German, meione. 



|{ockypord|V|elon 



Cl IiTl KK Ono ounce of seed to 50 hill-<. 



Sow about the last of spring or first of summer, 

 in hills of light, rich, sandy soil, four feet 

 apart, allowing but three plants to grow in each 

 hill; iifti'r they have grown about a foot long, 

 pinch (III ihc points of shoots, which causes the 

 \iiM - iH,t iiiilv to become stronger, but makes 

 them produce lateral 



branches and prove more 



productive and mature 

 earlier. It should not be 

 grown near squashes, cu- 

 cumbers or pumpkins, as 

 the flavor will 

 be affected in 

 -^■^ - consequ-^nce. 



This has become one of the most 

 popular of small or basket melons, 

 largely owing to the fact that grow- 

 ers in the Rocky Ford region pack 

 and ship their fruit in a most at- 

 tractive manner. The fruit is oval, 

 slightly ribbed, densely covered 

 with coarse netting. Flesh thick, 

 green, very sweet and high flavored. 

 We offer an exceptionally tine stock 

 of this sort, the fruit being wonder- 

 fully uniform in shape and quality.

ROCKY FORD. 



Baltimore Nutmeg Cantaloupe. 



-The cut below is from a photograph taken from a sample lot of R.\I,- 

 TIMOKP^ XUTMECi CANTALOUPES gathered from the field whiere 

 our seed was grown, and is a fair representation of the whole crop. 

 The stock seed of this splendid melon was secured from a trucker 

 who enjo.vs the reputation for raising the finest Cantaloupes that come to the Baltimore market. In passing through the fields inspect- 

 ing the crops we were surprised at the uniformity in the shape and size of the fruit. The writer also tested the fruit, and found it to 

 be of excellent flavor. It is green fleshed, and the rind is handsomely netted. It is well known and popular with the truckers and market 

 gardeners of Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and other places: in fact, it is a leading sort all over the countrj'.
