ANNE ARUNSEL CANTALOUPE 



(Origriual Stock.) 



The cut represents a sample of our stock photographed from 

 fruit taken from the growing- seed crop. It Is very large, nearly 

 round, deeply netted, and of good 

 flavor. A wagonload of them at once 



attracts the buyer's attention, ani 



when piled up on a market stall 

 they are irresistible. No large 

 grower's stock is complete without 

 this superb melon. 



This handsome melon, introduced 

 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 .iustly celebrated as grow- 

 ing the finest Cantaloupes in the 

 country. We might almost say the 

 finest in the world. Knowing its 

 value, we selected the stock and 

 placed it before our custoioers. It 

 lias met every promise we made for 

 it upon its introduction. Pkt., 5c.

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." 



— = PA.UL ROSE. 



This variety originated with one of the most successful 

 melon growers m the country, who reports that when 

 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 the 

 Netted Gem and the Osage, the varieties from which it 

 originated. The fruit Is oval, about 5 inches in diameter, 

 and in shape and general appearance similar to t'ne 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 rare 

 that a musk melon of such superlative quality is a good 

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

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

 know of, while it is just the size for hotel and table use. 

 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. Fkt., 5c. Oz., IGo. % lb., 30c. tb.,

NORFOLK 



BUTTON 



An improved strain of Early Jenny I^ind. 

 having a nub or button on the blossom end, 

 which gives it a distinction over all other 

 varieties. It is very early, of remarka)>ly 

 fine texture and delicious flavor, and pro- 

 duces fruits of the finest quality. It is 

 extra fine for both honie 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 

 imiformly deep and of that granu- 

 lated character that alwaj'S indicates 

 a good melon; the color is a dark, rich 

 salmon.
