OUR NEW CANTALOUPE 
“PINK MFAT”= We have «*««)» 
I liiJV J'lL-A l “great many vari- 
Igeties of Cantaloupes during the past few 
years, but we have never had one that we 
think will equal this grand new sort, "Pink 
Meat.” The originator, who is a large 
melon grower in Colorado, when first call¬ 
ing our attention to this new variety, at 
the same time sent us a sample crate, in 
[order that we might not only test the 
luality, but note the extra shipping quali‘ 
ties. These melons were received in the 
ery best condition after being shipped 
uch a long distance and we must admit 
that the quality was superior to any Cante- 
loupe we have ever tested. It is a cross 
^between the Rockyford and Emerald Gem 
land the variety has been carefully grown 
for the past four years and the entire crop 
comes true in flavor and netting each year, 
t 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 considera¬ 
tion we are sure our customers will say. 
t his is the grandest Cantaloupe ever grown. 
By all means give it a trial this year.

Gold and Honey Casaba = Casa| » my be »m™-hat new to our custom- 
ers, but as they have now become a commercial 
commodity we are offering what we consider the very best one for all sections of the coun¬ 
try, and it is known as Gold and Honey, It is a handsome variety. It should be planted 
after all danger of frost in spring and cultivated about the same as musk melons. It is a 
little later in ripening than the musk melon, but just before frost in the fall a 11 the fruit, 
even half grown, should be picked and put in a dry place, where it will ripen gradually 
and give a continual supply all winter. Here is where their great value comes in. Think of 
it, fruit all winter. We are sure that this new Casaba, “Gold and Honey,” will give 
our customers great satisfactiou, and prove a real novelty- in'any garden. Pkt. 5c., 3 pkts.
