growth is a great ylelder. The fruit is round or slightly elon- 
gated, slightly ribbed. Color a peculiar pea green with nettings 
lighter- ribbed. The flesh is firm, fine grained of a rich sal- 
mon or red color. In flavor it even surpasses the best grown 
Osage or Emerald Gem. The flesh exte-ids to the rind and re- 
tains its color and quality quite to the outer shell, which, 
though thin. Is very hard and firm and because of this bears 
shipment remarkably well. The flesh is very thick, considering 
the size of the melon, leaving a small .-^eed cavity.

markings; skin smooth, flesh very tender and of sweet flavor.
