HENDERSON'S "MELTING SUGAR" 

 MUSK MELON 



This new triumph of the hybridizer's art, will prove a revelation 

 to all who enjoy a delicious Musk Melon. It would seem as if no 

 desirable quality had been omitted in its make-up. The crowning 

 merit being its superb quality; flesh solid yet of fine texture, melt- 

 ingly tender and sweet without being insipid and having a delightfully 

 appetizing aroma. 



It is the earliest and best variety in the United States to-day, 

 practically drought and disease proof, and all who grow Musk Melons 

 know that luscious high quality Melons are not produced on blighted, 

 sickly vines. The fruits are wonderfully uniform in shape and size, 

 7 to 8 inches in length by 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and ver\' heavy 

 for their size, averaging 3 to 4 pounds each or almost double the 

 weight of other Melons of equal size; shape oblong, distinctively 

 ribbed and intricately netted, the skin between the netting being 

 of rich olive-green. It is one of the handsomest Musk Melons we 

 have ever seen. The vines are very prolific, setting 6 to 8 Melons 

 each and as nearly alike as so many Peas. The fruits "stand up well' ' 

 after maturity, that is the flesh does not begin to decay immediately 

 it is ripe; the seed cavity is small, flesh deep, edible almost to the 

 rind and of a sparkling soft green color tinged with golden-salmon. 



We predict that Henderson's "Melting Sugar" Musk Melon 

 will become not only highly popular for the home garden but will 

 win a national reputation as the best market Melon yet produced.

HENDERSON'S GENUINE 

 ROCKY FORD MUSK MELON 



ROCKY FORD has proven to be a most valuable Musk Melon; 

 its size, shape and quality exactly suit the epicure. It somewhat 

 resembles the old Netted Gem, but is more o^'al in shayie. The 

 vines are exceedingly healthy and vigorous, bearing an enormous 

 quantity of fruits during the entire season. 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 Rocky Ford, often 

 to the exclusion of other varieties. The color of the skin is of 

 a rich greenish-gold; the netting is prominent and light in color; 

 appearance very attractive. The green flesh is very deep, ripening 

 clear to the rind, \'ery solid and it has an exceedingly small seed 

 cavity. It is vcrv sweet and luscious in fla\'or. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 15c. 6z., 35c. I4 lb., $1.00 lb.
