 lan the Petoskey or Paul Rose by 10 days. It is

 ad better quality. It also yields twice as many 

 telons to the acre. The specimens run from round 

 ) oblong, often both on the same vine, some of the 

 jecimens weighing 6 to 7 pounds. Petoskey or 

 aul Rose, Osage or Miller's Cream, is not to be 

 jmpared with it in quality or general value. In 

 owman's Gold Coin we consider we have found 

 hat we have long been looking for, — a melon 

 jual to the Emerald Gem in quality, but a better 

 lipper. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents;

349 Solid Netted BurrelFs Gem 



A Shipping Melon Fully Equal to the Rocky Ford 



(Orange fleshed.) This new muskmelon may be called an 

 orange fleshed Rocky Ford with solid netting, which is quite 

 different from the original Burrell's Gem. By careful breed- 

 ing, the ribs have been reduced in size until now they are al- 

 most solid netted. The oval shaped melons are well shown in 

 the illustration. They are very thick fleshed, finegrained, rich 

 orange colored, sweet and spicy. For a shipping melon, they 

 pack ideal, both for size and shape, and for either market or 

 home use where a pink or orange fleshed melon is wanted, we 

 recommend Solid Netted Burrell's Gem.
