ANNE ARUNDEL CANTALOUPE

The cut represents a sample of our 

 taken from the growing seed crop. I 

 deeply netted, and of good flavor. A 

 wagohload of them at once attracts the 

 buyers' attention, and wheu 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 number of the 

 leading growers of Anne Arundel Coun- 

 ty. Maryland. This county is justly 

 celebrated as growing the finest Canta- 

 loupes in the country. We might al- 

 most say the finest in the world. Know- 

 ing its value, we selected the stock and 

 placed it before our customers. It has 

 met every promise we made for it upon 

 its introduction. Pkt., 5c. Oat., lOe.

One grower says : "It is in all re- 

 spects one of the best of melons." 



Another says : 



"Portsmouth, Va. 

 "Dear Sirs— The Anne Arundel Canta- 

 loupe was perfectly satisfactory— just 

 what it is claimed to be. It proved to 

 be early, of good size, and gave me a 

 large vield."

kS 1'AUL ROSE. 



This variety originated with one of the most successful melon- 

 growers in 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, hi this new sort are combined all 

 the good qualities of the Netted (Jem 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 

 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 superla- 

 tive 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 ship- 

 per 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 professional 

 melon-growers, and it is one of the very best sorts for the home 

 garden. Pkt., 5c. Oz., lOc. Vt, lb., 25c. Lb., 75c. 



Southern Beauty 

 Cantaloupe. 



The Musk Melon for the South. 



The Grower says : "It is the finest 

 Cantaloupe I have ever planted, partic 

 ularly suited to the Southern climate. 

 It is remarkably free from rot of all 

 sorts caused bv 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 Cantaloupes 

 from this point to Chicago, 111.. Cleve- 

 land and Cincinnati. Ohio, by freight, 

 where they arrived in perfect condition 

 and brought fancy prices."

BANQUET. 



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.
