THE FAMOUS MUSKMELON 



Maule's Model 



A Melon of Distinguished 



Pedigree. 

 High Bred at Every Point. 



(Green flesh.) A paragon of merit— in size, shape, netting, appear- 

 ance, aroma, flavor, depth of flesh, smallness of seed cavity, cropping 

 abhity and sliipping qualitj^. It leaves nothing to be desired. 



Maule's Model was bred by Mr. Morgan, of Gloucester county, N. J., an 

 expert in Ms line. Its parents were Netted Gem and Pineapple, with a 

 second hybridizing with one of its parents. This was followed hy six 

 years of careful selection. The result was a melon of wide local celeh- 

 rity, and one which commanded exclusive prices in several great cities. 



Maule's Model is an early melon, maturing in South Jersey the last 

 of July to the first of August. It is larger than Rocky E'ord, the average 

 weight being somewhat above two pounds. It has an ideal shape for a 

 fashionable market. The flesh is green. The interior seed cavity is 

 small, and of triangular or prismatic shape, the seeds being few. 



As a table melon Maule's Model cannot be surpassed. In delicacy and 



quality of flavor it is unexcelled by any variety on my list. The flesh 

 Is deep and Arm, extending from the rind almost to centre of the melon. 



Maule's Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to distant 

 cities without injury. One of Mr. Morgan's main markets was over 800 

 miles from his iarm, and the melons always stood the journey per- 

 fectly, and would have traveled a thousand miles just as easily. 



Maule's Model has every good quality possessed by tbe Rocky Ford, 

 with the added value of being more productive. It will show the efl"ects 

 of long continued drought, in common with all forms of vegetation, but 

 does not seem to lose its strength while lying dormant under a scorch- 

 ing sun. Upon the coming of rain it responds at once in the way of 

 continued growth and abundance of fruit. 



Maule's Model is now sold all over the U. S. under a half dozen dlfl'er- 

 ent names. Send to headquarters for the genuine. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, IS cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50, postpaid.

Texas Cannonball 



PETOSKEY OR PAUL ROSE MUSKMELON. 



(Green flesh.) This 

 splendid musk melon is 

 especially desirable for 

 home use and nearby 

 markets. Medium in ma- 

 turity and size and of flat- 

 tened, rounded shape. In 

 flavor it is first class and 

 its dense netting inakes 

 It almost sun and insect 

 proof, this being an im- 

 mense advantage where 

 insects are troublesojne 

 and jnelous liable to sun- 

 scald. Is almost all meat, 

 seed cavity being small. 

 The firm, green flesh is 

 very spicy. If you have 

 found it difilcnit to grow- 

 any other varieties ol 

 muskmelon try Texas

 where other varieties fall 

 entirely.
