MUSK MELON (Cont.) 
Oz. 
New Golden Osage. An extra early melon, maturing from a 
week to 10 days ahead of the original Osage. We do not 
know of any large muskmelon or canteloupe quite equal to 
the New Golden Osage melon. The flesh is deep orange 
colored, very thick, deliciously sweet and of high flavor. 
The melons are of oval shape, cream colored with coarse 
netting. When ripe the melons turn a golden tint which 
shows through the netting and gives the fruit a very 
attractive appearance. The size of the melons average quite 
large, many weighing 10 pounds. A valuable point about 
these melons is that they will keep a week after picking, 
and actually improve in flavor during that time. For mar¬ 
ket and shipping this is an important consideration. 82 days $0.10

Juicy Fruit. This is the grandest salmon-fleshed melon in cul¬ 
tivation today, it is medium early, it is wonderfully sweet, 
it is a heavy yielder, it is very meaty and it has a small 
seed cavity. The skin is an attractive light green, the fruits 
reach a very large size, they are nearly round. This is the 
nearest thing in sweetness to the Honey Dew Musk Melon 
that I know of. 85 days.

571 Hearts of Gold. An excellent shipping melon, growing 
about 6 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. The 
fruits are heavy, weighing about two pounds each, due to 
the thickness of the beautiful salmon flesh, which ripens 
close to the rind.
