unique, and of great value. The entire plant measures only seven inches in diameter,

colored with russet-red and bronze-green of varying shades. The heart is of a creamy 
yellow, waved with pale greenish white. Price 5 (Sts.; oz., 15 (Sts.

Musk Melon, Emerald Gem. All who have grown it unite in pronouncing 
it unequalled in rich, delicious flavor. The skin, while ribbed, is smooth and of a 
very deep emerald green color. The flesh, which is thicker than in any other Melon 
of its size, is of a suffused salmon color, and ripens thoroughly to the extremely thin 
green rind ; luscious beyond description ; altogether unapproached in delicious flavor. 
The Melons mature extremely early; of superb quality. Price 5 (Sts. ; oz., 10 (Sts.

about four pounds, and are finely and densely netted. The flesh is very thick and 
solid, flavor unequalled by any other variety. Price 5 (Sts. ; oz., 20 (Sts. 
Musk Melon, Paul Rose (or Petosky). A cross of the “Osage” with the “Netted 
Gem.” It possesses the fine netting of the “Gem,” and averages about the same size, 
but owing to the great thickness of its beautiful salmon-colored flesh will weigh at 
least one-third more than a “Netted Gem” of the same size. Price 5 (Sts.

uniformly of fine, luscious flavor; skin green, regularly ribbed and thickly netted. 
Very prolific and extra early in ripening. Price 5 (Sts. ; oz., 10 (Sts.
