and one of the sweetest. It is round or flattened. In 
size it is small, being from three to five inches in d.am- 
eter — a very convenient size for serving in halves. It is

earliest.

with shallow netting. Flesh very thick and very small 
seed cavity. Exceptionally fine flavor. 
The Grand — Has a vigorous vine and because of its vigor- 
ous growth is a great yielder. The fruit is round or 
slighlly elongateil, slightly riblxd. Color a peculiar pea 
green w.th nettings lighter ribbed. The flesh is firm, 
fine grain( d of a rich salmon or red color. In flavor 
it even surpasses the best grown Osage or Emerald Gem.

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 seed cavity.

and green markings; skin smooth, flesh very tender and 
of sweet flavor. Best when turning yellow. Makes good 
preserves.
