Defender Muskmelon 



(FERRY). This melon, of our own 

 development, is, in some respects, 

 the best sort yet produced. There 

 is no variety in which the flesh is 

 of fine quality and flavor so near 

 to the rind as in this, and none in 

 which the r'nd is so thin, hard and 

 firm. We believe that in sweet, 

 ness it is fully equal to the Rocky 

 Ford or Netted (jem, and it has, in 

 addition, the high flavor peculiar 

 to such orange-colored sorts as 

 O^age, Surprise and Emerald Gem. 

 Packet, 5c. ; oz., 15c.: 2 oz,, 25c.

 melon. In the "Paul Rose" we Defender Mn^kw^/n*,

 Gem, and combines the sweetness of the former with the fine netting of the 

 Gem. No othet melon equals it in smallness of seed cavity, nor approaches it in 

 firtnness. Packet, 5c.; oz., 20c.; lb., $2.00, by mail.
