MUSK MELON, or CANTALOUPE 



Melon Muscade, Fr. Popone, Hal. 



One ounce will plant 50 hills; two or three pounds for an acre. 

 Culture. — Sow in light, rich, sandy soil after it has become warm and dry, in hills 5 to 6 feet apart, 

 six to ten seeds in a hill. When up and all danger of insects has passed, pull out all but three plants. 

 Pinch the ends of the growing vines to induce fruiting. Ashes, air-slaked lime or tobacco dust are 

 excellent to sift over the young plants when the dew is on, to prevent attacks of insects.

 loupes in past years. Perfection in 

 shape and size, being of the same 

 shape as the old Rocky Ford, but 

 slightly larger in size. In flavor it is 

 deliciously sweet, having a taste that 

 is rich and luscious, being of the de- 

 sired sweet, spicy flavor. The small 

 cavity, solidly filled with seed, a 

 thick flesh, with smooth, firm texture, 

 green in color and netting on the 

 skin that outclasses anything yet in- 

 troduced. The netting of a Cantaloupe 

 such as this one enjoys is a fancy 

 feature, and without question is the 

 essence of its appearance on the mar- 

 ket. On the whole, it is an ideally 

 perfect Melon — one that will give 

 absolute satisfaction to both the 

 grower and consumer. Pkt. 5c. and

and very prolific. The fruits are ready for mar- 

 ket fully as soon as the green-fleshed Early Jenny 

 Lind. The firm, solid flesh is very thick, of an at- 

 tractive, deep salmon color and surpassingly 



> sweet to the very rind. The Melons are remark- 

 ably even in size, weighing from 1 lb. 8 oz. to 

 2 lbs. each. They are always of handsome form 

 and attractive appearance. "Fordhook" produces 

 practically no Melons unfit for market. Pkt. 5c.

 clear to the rind. Pkt. 5c. and 10c, oz. 15c,

Pollock's No. 10-25 



(Salmon flesh.) This 

 Musk Melon is con- 

 sidered the best of the salmon fleshed Rocky 

 Fords. Is the most reliable and best cropper, 

 thriving on most any soil, producing ripe Melons 

 in about 70 days. The fruits are of great uni- 

 formity in size and shape, with well developed 

 gray netting, closely laced and covering the en- 

 tire surface. The rich salmon flesh is very deep, 

 solid, of a luscious, sweet flavor and ripens clear 

 to the rind. Pkt. 5c and 10c, oz. 20c, Vx lb. 

 60c, lb. $2.00. 



New "Honey Dew" J" 



Unsurpassed 



A handsome distinct variety, 

 about the same size as Pocky 

 Ford, but more heavily and solidly netting. The 

 seed cavity is small, and the flesh, which is rich 

 salmon, is thick and sweet, containing a higher 

 percentage of sugar than any other variety. 

 An important feature of this variety is its ability 

 to withstand rust and blight, so much so that it 

 is almost proof against either. The size and 

 shape combine to make this variety well adapted 

 for both home use and shipping. Pkt. 5c. and 

 10c, oz. 25c, % lb. 85c, lb. $3.00. 



the leading mar- 

 kets this Melon com- 

 manded very high prices the past season. Honey 

 Dew produces a Melon with smooth, almost white 

 rind, measuring about 6 inches in diameter, seven 

 to eight inches long. The green flesh is thick and is 

 of a peculiar sweet flavor very hard to describe. 

 To have the Melons in the best condition we sug- 

 gest gathering (or picking) as soon as they slip 

 from the vine and store in a cool place for two 

 or three days before serving. They apparently 

 are at their best when a trifle overripe. Pkt. 5c. 

 and 10c, oz. 15c, % lb. 45c, lb. $1.50.
