THOS. GRISWOLD & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE, 
nUSKflELON. 
The Grand. This splendid new Melon, that we catalogued last year for the first time is a sport 
from the Osage which it resembles in quality, but differs somewhat in color and markings 
and is more uniform in size. It is at least ten days earlier than Osage. Has a more 
vigorous vine and because of its vigorous growth is a greater yielder. The fruit is 
round or slightly elongated, slightly ribbed. Color: a peculiar pea green, with netting 
a lighter shade. The flesh is firm, fine grained, of a rich salmon or red color. In flavor 
it even surpasses the best grown Osage or Emerald Gem. The flesh extends to the rind 
and retains its color and quality quite to the outer shell, which, though thin, is very 
hard and firm, and. because, of this bears shipment remarkably well. The flesh is thick, 
very thick, considering the size of the melon, leaving a small seed cavity. Price pkt 08c • 
4 pkt. .25c; oz. .40c; J4 lb. $1.40; 1 lb. $5.00.
