Delicious . Meanople $1 00 
Best described as an early strain of the famous Bender melon and 
while a trifle smaller in size, possesses all the good qualities of its 
parent. Not to be confused with a green-fleshed variety bearing a 
similar name. Popular for home markets. 
Eden Gem (Gold-lined Rocky Ford).Meantime 50 
A round type of Rocky Ford; entirely covered with fine netting and 
without ribs; flesh green, tinted yellow at center; quality excellent. 
Emerald Gem. Measles 55 
A splendid early variety, coming in just ahead of Rocky Ford; fruits 
deep emerald green in color, globular or slightly flattened, irregularly 
and distinctly ribbed and lightly netted; flesh. very thick, sweet and 
of a deep, rich salmon color, having an exceedingly small seed cavity. 
One of the best melons for the home garden and local market, but 
it is not a shipper. 
Extra Early Knight (Sweet Air).Measly 55 
An extremely early medium s : zed melon of the Acme type. Fruit 
oblong, showing the neck tendency of its parent; skin deep green, 
turning to golden at maturity, well covered with a close gray netting 
and distinctly ribbed: flesh fairly thick and very sweet; color medium 
green blending to light pink near the center. The earliest high quality 
melon and a good shipper. 
Extra Early Osage. Measure 55 
A week to ten days earlier than the old type O'sage, and nearly as 
large; flesh very thick, salmon colored and of high quality. Form, 
color and general appearance similar to Osage. One of the very best 
melons we grow.

ribbed and fairly netted; skin deep emerald green; flesh thick orange- 
yellow in color and of excellent quality.
