EXTRA EARLY OSAGE. In this variety 
we have gained a week to ten days in 
earliness over the original Osage without 
sacrificing any of the good qualities of that 
sort. It is a trifle smaller and the netting 
extends more over the surface. The deep 
salmon flesh is thick and sweet and seed 
cavity small. Gardeners will find this a 
most prolific sort to grow where the market 
demands an Osage melon, and we also 
recommend it for a home garden. Pkt., 5c;
