MUSK MELON OR CANTALOUPE 



EXTRA EARLY HACKENSACK. 



The Extra Early Jenny Lind Musk- 

 melou.— The Early Jenny 

 Lind has been for many 

 years most popular with 

 market growers, on account 

 of its extreme earliness and 

 great productiveness. We 

 now offer an improved strain 

 of this fine Melon obtained 

 from a leading grower of 

 South Jersey, where Melons 

 command the highest market 

 prices by reason of their 

 handsome appearance and 

 delicious flavor. The fruit of 

 the regular Jenny Lind is 

 well flattened at both stem 

 and blossom ends, ribbed and 

 heavily netted, but in this 

 fine type there is a distinct 

 nub or "button" growing 

 out of the blossom end, as if 

 the fruit had attempted to 

 make a second growth. This 

 extra growth is a peculiarity of the earliest ripen- 

 ing strain, as well as an indication of finest flavor, 

 and is eagerly sought for by buyers in the Eastern 

 cities. Pkg. 5c. Oz. 15c. K 1^). 40c. Lb, $1.25.
