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 bas been grown in Anne Arundel county for the 

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

 of its earlinpss, productiveness, uniformity in shape and appearance and its tine 

 table qualities. It matures about a week earlier than the regnlar Rocky Ford, 

 is larger in size and makes a most attractive and salable melon. It has thick, 

 green flesh, shading to orange at the center. Tihe 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, together with its fine qualities, 

 are strong points in its favor. Pit., 10c. Oz., x5c. 14 IiTj., 35c. lib., $1.26 



FATTIi ROSE. — 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 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 think it really has no equal 

 as a market melon for professional melon-growers, and it is one of the very 

 best sorts for the home garden Pkt., 10c. Oz., 15c. 1,4 ^'^'•t ^O^-

 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 high ly ; also for home
