flattened at both ends, medium green, deeply ribbed and well netted;

Pollock’s No. 10-25 . Meekmow 
A very popular, standard. Rocky Ford shipping melon, having a hard 
gray netting and salmon-tinted flesh. 
Rice’s Orange Flesh. Meetown 
Undoubtedly the “last word" in the Rocky Ford type of shipping melons 
and has brought the highest price in every market shipped to. Its 
appealing deep orange flesh is its distinctive characteristic. It is the 
mnct solid, with the smallest seed cell of any type and will weigh 
more to the crate. Fruit very uniform in size, nearly round and densely 
covered with a hard gray netting. Recommended for its hardiness, 
prolificness, deep flesh and excellent eating and shipping qualties.

Rocky Ford, or Netted Gem. Meekness 
We have an especially fine, improved strain of this popular melon as 
now grown at Rocky Ford. The fruit is small, almost round, smooth, 
showing no ribs, and densely covered with a heavy, hard gray netting; 
flesh tnick and deep green, showing a faint lining of pink or gold 
at the center; of the highest quality. An excellent shipping variety. 
Tip Top . Mellow 
In shape varies from round to slightly oblong; rather large in size 
and somewhat late in maturing. Skin green, distinctly ribbed and 
lightly nested; flesh rich deep salmon, sweet and spicy.
