MUSK MELON —Continued 
* Green-Fleshed. X Salmon-Fleshed. 
X Lake Champlain. —An exceedingly early salmon-fleshed Melon 
of medium size and fine quality, evidentiy a cross between Fordbook 
and Emerald Gem as it has a tendency to produce Melons resembling 
both types. We do not recommend this as a shipping Melon as it 
ripens up quickly, but it is an excellent sort for local markets as it 
is very early, good size and it is of excellent quality. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25; 10 lbs., $11.50.

flattened, deeply ribbed and heavily netted. It ripens early and the 
quality is excellent. We offer a very fine strain grown in New Jersey.

* Netted Rock, or Eden Gem. —^This is one of the leading musk 
melons of the Rocky Ford type. It is of medium size, nearly round 
in shape, very heavily netted and slightly ribbed, the netting covering 
over the grooved portion. The flesh is extremely thick, seed cavity 
small, making it very heavy for a melon of its size. It is medium 
early and very prolific. The vine is vigorous and will resist blight 
bettor than most varieties.

Ford, being identical in every way except color of flesh, which is a

to the rind. It is rapidly superseding the green fleshed variety in the 
large melon growing districts of the South and West.
