eec This is a money-maker for the 



*^ planter. It is oval in shape, 

 only slightly ribbed, but very deeply 

 netted.

 very attractive appearance and the thick 



green flesh is delicious in flavor. Pkt. 15c.: oz. 30c.; li lb. 90c ;

Perfected Perfecto 



CCA A medium sized Melon of the Rocky Ford type, finely netted 

 ***" and very attractive in appearance. The flesh is thick and of 

 fine texture showing no trace of stringiness, the seed cavity is quite 

 small, and the flavor is unsurpassed. 



Hostesses prefer this variety because it is just the right size for half 

 portions. We strongly recommend it. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 15c. : 



oz. 30c.; K lb. 90c. : lb. S3. 00. 



C^lg "Hale's Best" Cantaloupe is a new salmon-fleshed type similar to Rocky 

 *^* u Ford. It is oval in shape, slightly ribbed, well netted and grows larger 

 than ordinary Rocky Ford. Hale's Best is also several days earlier in ripening, 

 is very attractive in appearance, as our photograph shows, and the thick salmon- 

 colored flesh is exceedingly sweet in flavor. 



The seed cavity is also comparatively small and it is a very popular variety 

 with shippers and growers for the market (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 15c . ; 

 oz. 30c. ; H lb. 90c. ; lb. $3.00; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Rocky Ford 



CC7 This newer type is more rounded, the rib less prominent, and the outer 

 surface of the fruit is densely covered with delicate lace-like netting. 

 The quality and rich aromatic flavor have also been greatly improved. The flesh 

 is green, with a suggestion of pink at the seed cavity, which is peculiarly attrac- 

 tive. It is beautiful in appearance, delightful in flavor, and a general favorite 

 with all. 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 delicious Rocky 

 Ford, often to the exclusion of other 

 varieties. -.(See illustration.) Price, pkt. 10c.: 

 oz. 20c.; 14 lb. 60c.; lb. $1.75: 

 transportation paid,

Hearts of Gold 



Cj|A Undoubtedly the best of 

 the red or orange-fleshed 

 varieties. The Melons are 

 medium in size, but present a 

 very fine appearance, the rind 

 being very firm and closely 

 netted, each vein appearing as 

 if highly embossed on the sur- 

 face. The flesh is a rich deep 

 orange-scarlet in color, very 

 fine grained and deliciously 

 sweet. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 15c.; oz. 30c.: 

 M lb. 90c.; lb S3.0O: trans- 

 portation paid.

Lake Champlain 



An extremely early and productive sort. The plant possesses 

 an unusually vigorous constitution and the fruits set freely 

 under the most adverse weather conditions. They are medium in size, 

 round with flattened ends. The deliciously sweet flesh is of a deep 

 rich golden color. Price, pkt. 15c : oz. 30c.; M lb. 90c.: lb. $3.00.
