Milwaukee Market.Medjoy 
A variety very popular in Chicago and Milwaukee markets. Of Surprise 
parentage and close kin to Bender’s Surprise, although later. Fruits of 
medium size, nearly round, lightly ribbed and fairly netted; skin light 
green; flesh thick, salmon colored and very sweet. 
Ohio Sugar . Medling 
Might well be termed a green flesh Tip Top, resembling that variety in 
every way except in color of flesh. 
Osage, or Miller’s Cream.Medulla 
A rather large, main crop, oval melon of very superior quality; fruit dark 
green, slightly ribbed and well covered with a shallow, gray netting; flesh 
rich orange-salmon, exceedingly thick, with a small seed cavity. 
Perfecto, Salmon Tint (New) (Edwards’ Perfecto).Meeport 
A very superior type of the Rocky Ford melon, having a deeply tinted 
salmon flesh, and exceedingly small seed cell, a firm, hard gray netting 
and excellent shipping qualities. 
Pollock’s No. 10-25.Meekmow 
A very popular, standard, Rocky Ford shipping melon, having a hard gray 
netting and salmon-tinted flesh. 
RICE'S Orange Flesh 
RICE’S Orange Flesh.Meetown 
Undoubtedly the “last word” in the Rocky Ford type of shipping melons 
and has brought the highest price in every market shipped to. Its ap¬ 
pealing deep orange flesh is its distinctive characteristic. It is the most 
solid, with the smallest seed cell of any type and will weight more to 
the crate. Fruit very uniform in size, nearly round and densely covered 
with a hard gray netting. Recommended for its hardiness, prolificness, 
deep flesh and excellent eating and shipping qualities. 
RICE’S Orange Flesh (Extra Selected Stock).Meetower 
Put up in 1 lb. cloth sealed bags. 
Rocky Ford, or Netted Gem.Meekness 
We have an especially fine, improved strain of this popular melon as now 
grown at Rocky Ford. The fruit is small, almost round, smooth, showing 
no ribs, and densely covered with a heavy, hard gray netting; flesh thick 
and deep green, showing a faint lining of pink or gold at the center; 
of the highest quality. An excellent shipping variety. 
Tip Top .Mellow 
In shape varies from round to slightly oblong; rather large in size and 
somewhat late in maturing. Skin green, distinctly ribbed and lightly 
netted; flesh rich deep salmon, sweet and spicy.
