The best and most uniformly high quality table Melon introduced 

 In ten years. "Thl.s Is a cross of the 0.sage with the Netted Gem, 

 and combines the sweetncHH of the former with the fine netting of 

 tho Gem. It has also the llrmness of meat, salmon color, and 

 cheesy structure peculiar to the Osage. In this respect It la superior 

 to any Melon In existence, because of this thick, solid flesh, free 

 from Btrlnglness, which does not become watery or "break down' 

 In keeping, retaining Its form twice as long as any other shlpplnir
