We have developed in the Admiral 
Togo a small musk melon with the 
very 
flesh and 
Emerald Gem 
Admiral Togo 
or Orange Fleshed Rocky Ford ^ “sff 
quality of the Defender and possessing the characteristic netting, shape, size and shipping quality of Netted Gem or Rocky 
Ford. Combining all the good qualities of these two fine varieties we believe the Admiral Togo is an ideal table melon. Our 
stock is carefully bred in size and shape, is densely netted, with very thick flesh, ripening clear to the skin. We believe the 
seed we offer will meet the demands of the most discriminating buyers. We consider it the best small shipping melon yet 
introduced. (See cut in Supplement, page 8). Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; l A Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 
•j i Sometimes sold as Ordway Queen. This is an orange fleshed variety, ideal as a shipping melon and of the very 
nOOClOO finest quality. The vines are vigorous, remarkably blight resisting and very productive. The fruits are uniformly 
of medium size. The netting is exceptionally fine and dense, extending over practically the entire surface. The rind is thin 
yet very firm, so that the melons arrive in perfect condition in distant markets. The flesh is very thick, firm, highly colored, 
of fine texture and delicious flavor. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; l A Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 
T\ r j This is one of the best 
Uerender medium sized, oval 
yellow, darker than that of the Osage 
The fruit is 
rich, deep 
and quality 
quite to the outer shell which, tnoiign 
thin, is very hard and firm so that one can 
remove the edible portion with a spoon, 
leaving a rind no thicker than that of an 
Osage 
orange. The vines are vigorous and ver 
productive. The fruit because of the hard, 
firm rind, keeps and bears shipment re¬ 
markably well. This splendid variety 
was originated and introduced by us in 
1901 and we have taken pride in maintain¬ 
ing our stocks in the highest state of 
unty and excellence. We believe it to 
be identical with the melon introduced 
six years ago and sold largely as Burrell's 
Gem. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c;

^ A medium to large sized, 
V-JsagC, OF salmon fleshed melon of ex- 
Miller’s Cream cellent quality. The 
iviiiier b v^rcdiii vines are vigorous 
and productive. The fruits are oval, dark 
green in color, slightly ribbed and partly 
covered with shallow gray netting. The 
flesh is salmon colored, thick, fine grained 
and highly flavored. A favorite variety 
for the later markets, as there is always 
a considerable demand for it from the 
restaurants and hotels, where its ex¬ 
cellent qualities are highly appreciated. 
We have taken a great deal or pains to 
develop the thick, deep, rich colored and 
finely flavored flesh of this sort, and 
careful comparisons on our trial grounds 
prove it to be unequalled, even by 
“special selected seed’’ offered at very 
high prices. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c;
