Hoodoo. 



HOODOO. — This is an orange fleshed 

 variety of medium size, ideal as a shipping 

 melon and a desirable mid-season sort for 

 the home garden. The vines are vigorous, 

 blight resisting- and very productive. The 

 fruits are nearly round and are uniformly 

 of medium size. The netting is exception- 

 ally fine and dense, extending over 

 practically the entire surface. The rind is 

 thin yet very firm, so that the melons 

 arrive in perfect condition in distant mar- 

 kets. The flesh is very thick, firm, highly 

 colored, of fine texture and deliciovis flavor.
