IT Olio F cl fill Olio ItIISSK iTldOn Musk Melon this year. It is one of the earliest Musk Melons that we have 
ever raised and we know it will create a sensation wherever grown and should be given a trial to be appreciated. The Melons 
are uniform in size, of fine appearance, handsome shape, delicious and sell in any market. It is larger than many other early 
varieties, flesh is yellow, seed cavity very small and produces very few seed, which Snakes seed high in price. As a table Melon 
it cannot be surpassed. The illustration gives a good idea of this handsome Melon. Our supply of seed is somewhat limited, 
but we are anxious that every customer should give it a trial this year, even if they only grow a few hills in the garden for 
testing. Pkt., 8c.; 3 pkts., 20c.; 6 pkts., 30c.; 12 pkts., 50c. 
MILLS’ NEW STRAWBERRY MUSK MELON 
—Here is quite a novelty in Musk Melons, and has only re¬ 
cently been introduced. From trials we have made of it, it 
has proven to be a very satisfactory melon. The origi¬ 
nator claims it has a flavor like that of the strawberry, 
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 turn¬ 
ing 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. We 
have been 
fortunate 
in grow¬ 
ing a lim- 
i t e d a- 
mount of 
seed, and 
offer our 
custom¬ 
ers choice 
stock a t 
very low 
prices. 
Give it a 
trial.

ROCKY FORD—This melon 
has become famous everywhere. 
It is an early variety; skin is 
green, ribbed and thickly net¬ 
ted while the flesh is thick of a 
light green color and so sweet 
that it may be eaten close to 
the rind. The melons have a 
very small seed cavity, the flesh 
surrounding it being slightly 
tinged with yellow. It is a very 
firm and solid melon and will 
keep in good condition for some 
time after being taken from 
the vines. The melons weigh 
on an average of about IV 2 lbs. 
each. The illustration conveys 
a good idea of their shape and 
appearance and we are sure all 
who grow this melon will be

MIRES’ EARLIEST 
—This is the earliest 
Musk Melon and is 
sure to create a sen¬ 
sation wherever it is 
grown. It is ahead of 
the famous Jenny 
Lind and in factahead 
of all the other early 
Musk Melons. The 
melons are of uniform 
size, of fine shape and 
appearance, delicious 
quality and sell in any 
market. They are 
nearly round as may Mills’ Earliest Musk Melon 
be seen by the illustration, of good size, finely netted while inside they are of a rich orange color and 
we venture to say the flesh is thicker than any other variety in cultivation, there being such a small 
seed cavity. We can recommend this variety for home or market use and we have fully demonstrated 
by our trials that it deserves the name “Mills’ Earliest,” and we know that this the earliest, sweetest 
and most delicious Musk Melon will please everybody growing it, whether they plant one or two hills 
or five or ten acres. Pkt., 5c.; 3 pkts., 13c.; oz., 15c.; Vl lb., 50c.
