MUSK MELONS.-Continued 



r\ I l^.. — This variety originated with one of the most successful melon 

 l-'3.IJI l\OSG growers in the country who reports that when planted for 

 ***** raarket the fruit has brought him nearly twice as much per 



acre as he realized from any other sort. In this new sort are combined all t)ie good 

 qualities of the Netted Gem and the Osage, the varieties from which it originated. 

 The fruit is oval, about 5 inches in diameter, and in shape and general apjiearance 

 similar to the well known Netted Gem or Kocky Ford. The firm flesh is a rich orange 

 red color, like that of the Osage, but even sweeter and higher flavored, retaining it 

 good qualities quite to the rind. We have found the fruit the most uniformly gix i, 

 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 

 make it the best shipper 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.

Anne = Arundel 

 Cantaloupe. 



(ORIGINAL STOCK.) 



The cut represents a sample of 

 our stock photographed from 

 fruit taken from the glow- 

 ing seed crop. It is very Targe, 

 nearly round, deeply netted, 

 and of good flavor. A wagon 

 load of them at once attracts 

 the buyers' attention, and 

 when piled up on a market 

 stall they are irresistible. No 

 large grower's stock is com- 

 plete without this superb 

 melon. 



This handsome melon. Intro- 

 duced by us several years ago, 

 was for years a special favor- 

 ite with a number of the lead- 

 ing growers of Anne Arundel 

 County, Maryland. Knowing 

 its value, we selected the stock 

 and placed it before our cus- 

 tomers. 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-Arun, 

 del Cantaloupe was perfectly 

 satisfactory, just what it is 

 claimed to be — it proved to be 

 early, of good size, and gave 

 me a large yield."

SOUTHERN BEAUTY 

 CANTALOUPE 



The Musk Melon for 

 the Sonth. 



The Grower says : " It is the finest 

 Cantaloupe I have ever planted, 

 particularly suited to the Southern 

 climate. 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 

 sovind for at least ten days after the 

 melon first ripens." Again he says: 

 " 1 shipped these cantaloupes from 

 this point to Chicago, Illinois, Cleve- 

 land and Cincinnati, O., by freight, 

 where they arrived in perfect con- 

 dition, and brought fancy prices."
