MUSK MELON 



Netted Gem— Rocky Ford.— Selected Stock. 



This seed is carefully grown, selected and saved at Rocky 

 Ford under the care and supervision of one of the most rar.-- 

 ful shippers. It is well known that much seed offered as 

 Rocky Ford stock has been saved by local growers from sur- 

 plus or cull Melons by men who know nothing of the respon- 

 .sibility of the seed business. Careful planters should avoid 

 this kind of stock.

VAUGHAN'S PAUL ROSE or FETOSKEY. 



The be.st and 



inlformly high quality table Melon Introdiiood 

 !n ten years. "This Is a cross t,S the Osage with the Netted Gem, 

 and combines the sweotncas of tho former with the fine netting of 

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

 cheesy structure peculiar to the Osage. In this respect It Is 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 shipping 

 Melon. PRICE: VauKhan's Selected Seed, oz., 20c; 2 oz., 40c; % lb.,

nur own introduction, and w.- take special pride In 

 maintaining the quality and superiority of our stock. We pay many times the 

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

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