Steckler’s New Pink Flesh Rockyford. 
STECKLER’S NEW PINK FLESH 
ROCKYFORD.—The most exacting will be 
satisfied by the delicious quality, while 
its appearance exhibits all the refinement 
of form, color and netting so necessary to 
a good melon. In appearance it is very 
similar to the rounder types of Rockyford. 
The netting is bold and well defined, which 
adds greatly to its appearance. The gen- 
eral color is soft russet-green. The ribs 
are faintly lined with a lighter shade and 
slightly depressed, giving an even surface 
to the fruit, which greatly enhances its 
appearance. It is about 5 inches in dia- 
meter, weighing about 2 to 2% lbs. The 
shape is oval. Its remarkable deep flesh 
combined with the smallest possible seed 
cavity, give it the maximum of luscious 
flesh of fine texture. Packet, 10c.; 0oz., 20c.; 
14 lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00, postpaid.
