KNIGHT CAITTAI.OUF£. 



NORFOLK BUTTON 



An improved strain of Early Jenny Lind, hav- 

 ing: 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 de- 

 licious flavor, and produces 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 bv placing their order at once. Fkts., 5c.

 market variety and an excellent keeper. Ten days

Knight Cantaloupe 



A New Early Cantaloupe of Superb Quality 

 and at the Same Time Makes an Excel- 

 lent Market or Shipping Melon 



This new Cantaloupe has been grown in Anne Arundel county for the 

 past several years, and has created a furore with our truckers, on account 

 of its earliness, productiveness, uniformity in shape and appearance and 

 its fine table qualities. It matures about a week earlier than the regular 

 Rocky Ford, is larger in size and makes a most attractive and salable 

 melon. It has thick, green flesli, shading to orange at the center. The 

 fruits are oblong in shape, well ribbed and well netted. It is a leader, 

 both for planting for home use and market and for shipping. Its early 

 maturity, togetlier with its fine qualities, are strong points in its favor. 

 Fkt., 5c. Oz., 15c. V4 lb., 40c. $1.25. 



PAVIm BOSE. — In this new sort are combined all the good qualities of the 

 Netted Gem and tlie Osage, tlie varieties from which it originated. Tlie 

 fruit is oval, about 5 inches in diameter, and in shape and general app^r- 

 ance similar to the well-known Netted Gem or Rooky Ford. The firm 

 flesh is a rich orange-red color, like that of the Osage, but even sweeter 

 and liiglier flavored, retaining its good qualities quite to tlie rind. We tliink 

 it really has no equal as a market melon for professional melon-growers, 

 and it is one of tlie very best sorts for the home garden. Fkt., 5c. Oz., lOc 

 1/4 lb., 30c. Bb., 75c. 



Anne Arundel Cantaloupe 



(Orig-inal Stock.) 



This handsome melon, introduced by us several years ago, was for years 

 a special favorite witli a number of the leading growers of Anne Arundel 

 county, Maryland. This county is justly celebrated as growing tlie finest 

 Cantaloupes in tlie country. We miglit almost say the finest in tlie world. 

 Knowing its value, we selected the stock and placed it before our cus- 

 tomers. It has met every promise wc made for it upon its introduction. 

 Fkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. 14 lb., 25c. Bb., 75c. 



Eden Gem or Netted Rock 



One of tlie handsomest melons in our list. Splendid sliape and thor- 

 ough netting and absence of deep spaces between the ribs, indicating strong 

 shipping properties. The flesh Is unusually thick, the seed cavity very 

 small, the flavor exquisite. A heavy yielder, the melons very uniform, but 

 few run too large, and still fewer too small. For shipping we recommend 

 it highly; also for home growers. Fkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. 14 lb., 35c. lib., $1.00, 



ITetted Bock or Eden Gem Cantaloupe.
