VAUGHAN'S PAUL ROSE or PETOSKEY. 



The best and most uniformly high quality table Melon introduced 

 Sn ten years. "This is a cross of the Osage with the Netted Gem, 

 and combines the sweetness of the 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 ihick, solid flesh, free 

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

 In keeping, retaining its form twice as long as any other shipping 

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

 60c; lb., $2.00.

Rocky Ford Musk Melon. 



VAUGHAN'S ORIGINAL OSAGE. 



This famous Melon is our own introduction, and we 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 Meloa 

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