HENDERSON'S "DELICIOUS" 



Rocky Ford Musk Melon 



557. This newer type is more rounded, the rib less promi- 

 nent, and the outer surface of the fruit is densely covered with 

 delicate lace-like netting. The quality and rich aromatic 

 flavor have also been greatly improved. The flesh is green, 

 with a suggestion of pink at the seed canity, ^^ hich is peculiarly 

 attractive. It is beautiful in appearance, delightful in flavor, 

 and a general favorite -n-ith all. It is safe to say that no Melon 

 has ever come into the New York markets which has sold so 

 readily and at such high prices as the delicious Rocky Ford, 

 often to the exclusion of other varieties. (See engraving.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. li lb., $1.75 lb. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY 



Hackensack Musk Melon 



537. A large green-fleshed variety, 

 round, sligh''y flattened from the stem to 

 the blossom end, very deeply- and broadly 

 ribbed, with bold, strongly defined net- 

 ting. The flesh is verj- thick, rich ia 

 appearance and delightful in flavor. This 

 type of Melon (once ahnost entirely super- 

 seded by the oval-shaped sorts) is rapidly 

 coming into favor again. 



It is a selection which we originated 

 from the famous Hackensack many yeara 

 ago, and is well worthy of more extensive 

 Icultivation. The fruits are not so large as 

 the older sort, but weigh from 5 to 6 lbs. 

 each. It is fit for use immediately after 

 the very early sorts. (See engraving.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. K lb-. 

 $1.75 lb. 



"/ wish to express the pleasure and satis- 

 faction I received in following the directions 

 of your leaflet for starting melons on sod. 

 Last year was the first we had any success 

 with our melons growing and ripening well, 

 and a hounlifvl supply of most luscious 

 fruit."
