THE SHIPPER’S DELIGHT MUSK ME LON 
Thin very distinct new melon was introduced by us in 1897, and has met with large sale, and many 
leading melon growers have realized handsomely on their crops of “Delights,” owing to their great 
earliness and line shipping finalities. It is one of the very best early green-fleshed melons. Its distinct, 
handsome appearance and peculiar shape, in each melon having a button on the blossom end, are well
