MELON 
NEW STRAWBERRY 
Here is quite a novelty in Musk Melons and has only recently been intro¬ 
duced. From trials we have made of it, it has proven to be a very satisfac¬ 
tory melon. The originator claims it has a flavor like that of the straw¬ 
berry, hence its name. It is of the small netted type and the fruit weighs 
from five to ten pounds each. Its flesh is of an attractive orange red color, 
and is highly recommended by all who have grown it. Color of the outside 
is green turning to yellow hue as it ripens. It is claimed that the way this 
new melon was originated was by planting certain varieties of strawberries 
between every other row of the New Hybrid Musk Melon, and in this way 
a splendid Musk Melon has been developed which we call Strawberry. Give 
it atrial. Per pkt., 4c., Spkts., 9c., oz., 10c~ 2ozs., 16c„ Vi lb., 30c.
