several years in trying to get an improved strain of Cucum¬ 
ber for forcing under glass and outside culture, and has fi¬

BurrelTs Gem Muskmelon 
A PINK-FLESHED ROCKY FORD 
It is a well-known fact among growers of melons for market 
that the pink- or red-fleshed varieties are stronger growers and 
less liable to blight than the green-fleshed sorts. Burrell’s Gem 
is a pink-fleshed Rocky Ford.; 
It has all the choice qualities of 
sweetness, flavor and produc¬ 
tiveness of the parent sort, and 
its flesh is of a beautiful golden 
color. The seed cavity in the 
center of the melon is exceed¬ 
ingly small, thus.making it very 
thick, fleshy and meaty. It is 
exactly the same shape as the 
Rocky Ford, well netted and 
slightly ribbed. As it is a strong 
grower, it should be planted 
farther apart than the green- 
fleshed sorts, say 10 by 12 feet.
