 cheesy structure necullar to the Osage. In this respect It Is superior 

 to any Melon In existence, because of this thick, solid fiesh, fr.o 

 from stringlness, which does not become watery or 'break down'

Rocky Ford Musk Melon. 



VAUGHAN'S ORIGINAL OSAGE. 



This famous Melon Is our own Introduction, and we take special pride In 

 inaintainin.g the quality and superiority of our stock. We pay many times tho 

 prices given ordinary seed growers to get our seed raised in the best locality 

 and then selected from merchantable early Melons. Seed obtained from culls 

 left in the field after marketing is over can be bought cheaply, but Is high 

 at any price. However, seed taken from early choice market melons must 

 bring a high price, though really a hundred times cheaper than the other. 

 Salmon fiesh, high table quality; during the last season was the best Melon 

 on the Chicago Market. Our strain Is dark skinned, but moderately netted.
