Early Jersey Gem Melon 
ROCKY FORD (BUIST’S SELECTED) 
This variety is beautifully netted, of oblong 
shape; the skin is a rich greenish gold when 
ripe; rind thin, but very solid and firm; flesh 
green, slightly tinged with yellow. It differs 
from the Perfection in its form and thickness 
of flesh, and its silver netting does not cover 
the melon so thoroughly. The strain we offer 
is of thoroughbred stock, and is saved from 
hand'selected fruit. Pkt., 5c; Vz oz., 10c; oz.,

deeply netted. The flesh is thick and firm, of 
a beautiful orange color and of delicious 
flavor. It can be relied on to produce a good 
crop of fruit even in unfavorable seasons.
