Improved Perfecto 
A JP IV/I This melon has won its way in- 
& JYl Honey Llew to favor whoHy because of its 
excellent flavor and good keeping qualities. It is enormously 
prolific. It is ready to pull when the green luster has changed 
toward a creamy yellow. It is not ready to be eaten until 
like the Casaba, you can make an impression with the thumb 
as* in a mellow apple. 
Flesh is light green and sweet as honey. The rind is 
ereen or silvery-gray in color, smooth as an egg and hard 
as the rind of a winter squash. It is therefore a good shipper.

Yellow Fleshed Honey Dewi^w^Meion^ was intro¬ 
duced it quickly became popular. One would not believe another 
melon could be better, but the Honey Dew hybridized with the 
Tin Top produced a melon of the same outside appearance as 
the Honey Dew but with a deep yellow flesh that is posi^vely 
more delicious. Do not hesitate to plant it 
garden or for shipping. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 25c) VA lb. 75c) (lb.

o In every respect this is equal to the 
15aby rersian regular Persian Melon but its uniform 
size of approximately 6 inches in diameter makes it very de¬ 
sirable for packing in crates. Very useful for small families 
when larger melons are not required. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 30c) ('4 lb.

A & M Persian Melon 
Large, extremely net¬ 
ted, without ridges, 
thick yellow flesh of 
delightful flavor. A 
good keeper and a 
good shipper. It should 
be picked while yet 
quite solid. Custom¬ 
ers should be edu¬ 
cated to purchase half 
a dozen at a time and 
set them away to be 
eaten as they become 
mellow like a Casaba. 
When properly picked 
they are ready for the 
table within six to ten 
days. Average weight 
10 lbs. Edible in 102 
days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz.

Tip Top 
A q iiyi nr*... This popular muskmelon is another 
OL IVl 1 Ip 1 op triumph for Aggeler and Musser 
Seed Company because of our effort years ago t 9 introduce it. 
The gardener was slow to accept it, but knowing its merits 
we persisted in offering it. It is now one of the rnost popular 
muskmelons grown for the local market. The yellow flesh i.s 
edible' to the rind. The melon is of medium size. Edible in Sb 
days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) {'A lb. 50c) (lb. $1.50) postpaid.

This is one of the excellent melons 
1 UrKlSn ivieion brought to California by the Armenians. 
Its flavor is equal to the Persian melon. It has yellow flesh 
and resembles the Persian melon in every way except that it 
shows on the rind a faint stripe and is without the heavy uet- 
ting. Do not hesitate to order it for it is just as good as tne 
Persian for the home garden or nearby market. (Pkt. oc)

Oriental or 
Japanese 
This melon appears to 
be a cross between Golden 
Beauty Casaba and Per¬ 
sian Melon. It has the 
same salmon tinted flesh 
as the latter but the tex¬ 
ture is as fine as a ca¬ 
saba,, and the flavor is 
very sweet. The rind is 
thin and is of a yellowish 
green color with darker 
blotches. When ripe the 
fruit averages 7 or 8 lbs. 
Market gardeners are 
recommended t o grow 
this for local trade. (Pkt.
