450 Milwaukee Market 
Condon’s Improved Strain 
Here is a melon that is recognized wher¬ 
ever known as one of the Very Finest Large 
Salmon Flesh varieties. It was introduced 
in Milwaukee a few years ago and is gain¬ 
ing in popularity every year. A medium 
large, pink fleshed melon with excellent eat¬ 
ing qualities. The ribs are fairly prominent 
and the netting is very heavy; the shape is 
slightly oval; it is early in maturing and is 
increasing in use each year. The rind is 
extremely hard; it is almost hornlike, hence 
it should be an excellent shipping variety. 
It is very prolific, and handsome in appear¬ 
ance. We do not know of a better melon 
in its class than Milwaukee Market. Edible 
in 87 days. Size, 7^x6% inches. Weight,
