This melon was introduced after the Rockyford, 
but now rivals it in popularity. The Burrell's 
Gem has a salmon flesh of unusual thickness. The 
flavor can hardly be surpassed. The flesh is 1% 
to 2 inches thick, the rind is heavily netted, 
slightly ribbed and very thin. 
The melons are of a nice size, being about 6 
inches in length and 4% inches in diameter. They 
stand shipping well and the Burrell's Gem is now 
in demand in all big markets. 
If you like delicious melons plant some Burrell's 
Gem. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; lb., $1.10.

quality; it is of medium size. The skin is, while 
ribbed, perfectly smooth and of. deep emerald green 
color, and ripens to the green rind. It is peeuliarly 
crystalline in appearance, and so very juicy and 
rich that it almost drops to pieces when dipped 
out with a spoon. The flavor is very sweet and 
luscious. The vines are hardy and very prolific, 
and the melons mature extremely early. Pkt,, 5c;

PEACH or GARDEN LEMON. The fruit is about 
the size of a large peach, oval-shaped and of a 
bright orange yellow color, somewhat russetted. 
When it first ripens it is quite hard and has very 
little flavor, but they soon become mellow, not 
sweet, and have a rich flavor, but for sweet pickles, 
pies, or preserves, they are sunerb. Pkt., 5c; oz.,
