ANNE ARUNDIX. 



Anne Arundel Cantaloupe 



(^Original Stock.). 



The cut represents a sample of our stock photographed from fruit 

 lakf-n from ihe growing seed crop. It is verr Inrtrc nearly round 

 deeply netted, and of good Havor. A 

 wagi>nload of tliem at once attract; 

 the buyers' attention, and when piled 

 sp on a market stall they are irre- 

 sistible. No large grower's stock is 

 complete witliout 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 Can- 

 Uiloupes 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 satisfactory — 

 j»st what it is claimed to be. It 

 ]»r»yed to he early, of good size, and 

 gay* me a large vield."

I'ATL ItOSK. 



This variety oi imnji.d with one of the most successful mal«n 

 growers in tne couiiiiy, wuo reports that when planted for tsKU- 

 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 ai! the good qualities of the Netted Gem and the Osage 

 the varieties from which it originated. The fruit is oval, aboHt 

 .1 inches in diameter, and in shape and general appearance simi- 

 lar to the well-known Netted Cem of Rockv Ford. The firm flesh 

 IS a rich orange red color, like that of the Osage, but even 

 sweeter and higher fiavored, retaining its good qualities quite to 

 the rind. \A e 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, hut the firm, solid Hesh and thin but strong rind of this 

 sort makes it the best shii)per we know of, while it is .iust 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 •■e 

 of the very best sorts for the home garden.

Southern Beauty 

 Cantaloupe 



The MuHk Melon for tlie Soittli. 



The (irower 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, iH.. 

 Cleveland and Cincinnati. Ohio, by 

 freight, where they arrived in- perfect 

 condition, and brought fancy prices."

Banquet 



This superb melon represents y«ars 

 of careful selection and improve- 

 ment. The raiser regards it as his 

 greatest production ard likely t« 

 supersede all other red-fleshed mel- 

 ons. "The Banquet" is a medi»ai- 

 sized melon, flat at both ends. aMi 

 more beautifully netted than aa^ 

 known variety. In quality it has b« 

 equal : the flesh is uniformly deeji 

 and of that granulated character 

 that always indicates a good mel«H ; 

 the color is a dark, rich salmon,
