ANNE ARUNDEL. 



Anne Arundel Cantaloupe 



COriginal 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 buyers' attention, and when piled 

 up on a market stall they are irre- 

 sistible. No large grower's stock is 

 complete without this superb melon. 



This handsome melon, introduced by 

 us several years ago. was for years 

 special favorite with a number of the 

 leading growers of Anne Arundel Coun- 

 ty. Maryland. This county is justly 

 celebrated as growing the finest Can- 

 taloupes in the country. We might al- 

 most say, the finest in the world. 

 Knowing its value, we selected the 

 stock and placed it before our custom- 

 ers. It has met every promise we 

 made for it upon its introduction. 



One grower says: "It is in all 

 respects one of the best of melons." 



Another says : 



"Portsmouth. Va. 

 "Dear Sirs — The Anne Arundel Can- 

 taloupe was perfectly satisfaetory- 

 just what it is claimed to be. It 

 proved to be early, of good size, and 

 gave me a large yield."

■ s PAUL" ROSE." 



This variety originated with one of the most successful melon 

 growers in the country, who reports that when planted for mar- 

 ket the fruit has brought him nearly twice as much per acre 

 as he realized from any other sort. In this new sort are com- 

 bined all the good qualities of the Netted Gem and the Osage, 

 i he varieties from which it originated. The fruit is oval, about 

 5 inches in diameter, and in shape and general appearance simi- 

 lar to the well-known Netted Gem of 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 reallv has no equal as 

 a market melon for professional melon growers, and it is one 

 of the very best sorts for the home garden.

Southern Beauty 

 Cantaloupe 



The Musk Melon for tbe South. 



The Grower says : "It is the finest 

 Cantaloupe I have ever planted, par- 

 ticularly suited to the Southern cli- 

 mate. It is remarkably free from rot 

 of all sorts caused by damp or rainy 

 weather, and will hold up a long time 

 after they have ripened, the outer rind 

 remaining firm and sound for at least 

 ten days after the melon first ripens." 

 Again he says : "I shipped these canta- 

 loupes from this point to Chicago, 111., 

 Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio, by 

 freight, where they arrived in perfect 

 condition, and brought fancy prices."

This superb melon represents years 

 of careful selection and improve- 

 ment. The raiser regards it as his 

 greatest production and likely to 

 supersede all other red-fleshed mel- 

 ons. "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 uniformly deep 

 and of that granulated character 

 that always indicates a good melon ; 

 the color is a dark, rich salmon.
