KNIGHT CANTALOUPE 



A NEW EARLY CANTALOUPE OF SUPERB 

 QUALITY AND AT THE SAME TIME 

 MAKES AN EXCELLENT MARKET 

 OR SHIPPING MELON 



This new Cantaloupe has been grown in Anne Arundel county for the 

 past several years, and has created a furore with our truckers, on account 

 of its earliness, productiveness, uniformity in shape and appearance and 

 its fine table qualities. It matures about a week earlier than the regular 

 Rocky Ford, is larger in size and makes a most attractive and salable 

 melon. It has thick, green flesh, shading to orange at the center. The 

 fruits are oblong in shape, well ribbed and well netted. It is a leader, 

 both for planting for home use and market and for shipping. Its early 

 maturity, together with its fine qualities, are strong points in its favor. 

 Pkt., 5c. Oz., 15c. 1/4 Ito., 35c. Iil)., $1.00. 



TATJJ, ROSE. — In this new sort are combined all the 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 

 appearance similar to the well-known Netted Gem or Rocky Ford. The firm 

 flesh is a rich orange-red color, like that of the Osage, but even sweeter 

 and higher flavored, retaining its good qualities quite to the rind. 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. Fkt., 5c. 

 Oz., 10c. lib., 30c. lib., 75c. 



ANNE ARUNDEL CANTALOUPE 



(Original Stock.) 



This handsome melon, introduced by us several years ago, was for years 

 a special favorite with a number of the leading growers of Anne Arundel 

 county, Maryland. This county is justly celebrated as growing the finest 

 Cantaloupes in the country. We might almost say the finest in the world. 

 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. 

 Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. % Lb., 25c. lib., 75c. 



EDEN GEM OR NETTED ROCK 



One of the handsomest melons in our list. Splendid shape and thorough 

 netting and absence of deep spaces between the ribs, indicating strong 

 shipping properties. The flesh is unusually thick, the seed cavity very 

 small, the flavor exquisite. A heavy yielder, the melons very uniform, but 

 few run too large, and still fewer too small. For shipping we recommend 

 it highly; also for home growers. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. 14 lb., 35c. ib., $1.00. 



NORFOLK BUTTON 



An improved strain of Early Jenny Lind, hav- 

 ing a nub or button on the blossom end, which 

 gives it a distinction over all other varieties. It 

 is very early, of remarkably fine texture and de- 

 licious flavor, and produces fruits of the finest 

 quality. It is extra fine for both home and market 

 use.' We are putting the above on the market for 

 the first time, and have but a limited supply of 

 seed. Those who wish to secure a trial order will 

 do well by placing their order at once. Pkts., 5c. 

 and 10c. % lib., 25c. lb., 90c. 



EXTRA EARLY HACKENSACK 



Netted green flesh and excellent; very showy 

 market variety and an excellent keeper. Ten days 

 earlier than the Old Hackensack. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 

 10c. 14 lib., 25c. lib., 75c.
