Cantaloupe should have, namely, bhght 

 or rust-resistant tendency, a deadl\- dis- 

 ease which manifested itself in nearly 

 every crop of Cantaloupes in past years. 

 Perfection in shape and size, being of 

 the same shape as the old Rockj- Ford, 

 but slightly larger in size. In flavor it 

 is dehciously sweet, having a taste that 

 is rich and luscious, being of the de- 

 sired sweet, spicy flavor. The smau 

 cavity, sohdiy filled with seed, a thicK 

 flesh, with smooth, firm texture, green 

 in color and netting on the skin tha^ 

 outclasses anj-rhing yet introduce::. 

 The netting of a Cantaloupe such - 

 this one enjoys is a fancy feature, an 

 without question is the essence of its 

 appearance on the market. On the 

 whole, it is an ideally i>erfect ]Melon — 

 one that will give absolute satisfaction 

 to both the grower and consumer.

 fully as soon as the green-fleshed Early Jenny Lind. 

 The firm, sohd flesh is very thick, of an attractive, 

 deep salmon color and surpassingly sweet to the very 

 rind. It is already acknowledged by planters general- 

 ly as decidedly the best salmon-fleshed Melon to grow 

 for market. The vines grow vigorously and each vine 

 sets from five to nine Melons immediately around the 

 stem: frequently the fruits touch one another. The 

 Melons are remarkably even in size, weighing from 1 

 lb. S oz. to 2 lbs. each. They are alwaj's of the hand- 

 some form and attractive appearance. "'Fordhook'' 

 produces practicaHv no Melons unfit for market.
