,, etiea of Canteloupes during: the past few years, but we have never had one that we think will equal this grand 
new sort. Pink M/'at.” The originator, who is a large Melon grower in Colorado when first calling our attention to this new variety, at the same time sent us a 
sample crate, in order that we might not only test the quality, but note the extra shipping qualities. These Melons were received in the very best condition after 
being shipped such a long distance and we must admit that the quality was superior to any Canteloupe we have ever tested. It is a cross between the Rockyford 
and Emerald Gem and the variety has been carefully grown for the past four years and the entire crop comes true in flavor and netting each year. It has been 
found to be the best shipping Melon grown by the originators and they guarantee their stock to come true every time. The flesh of this new Melon is a pink or 
orange color; seed cavity is very small and 
the flesh is solid, of the best quality and very 
close to the rind. The rind is very tough; 
yet thin,well arched ribs covered with laced 
and interlaced grey netting. Taking all 
points into consideration we are sure our 
customers will say, this is the grandest 
Canteloupe ever grown. By all means give 
it a trial this year. Pkt., 5c., 3 pkts., 12c.,
