White African Casaba. 
C S ^ B .A S 
Casabas have now become a commercial commodity. They are a late varietv 
musk melon to be classed in a family by themselves. They should be planted after li 
danger of frost in spring and just before frost in the fall; all melons, even half grown 
should be picked and put in a dry place where they will ripen gradually and give a con’ 
tinual supply all winter. We are offering two splendid varieties.

MUSK MELONS OR CANTALOUPES 
Early Gem Musk Melon 
Of all the Musk Melons we have ever grown Early 
Gem takes first place. It has been found to be 
the best shipping melon grown ; a cross between 
Rockyford and Emerald Gem, and comes true in flav¬ 
or. netting each year. The flesh of this new melon is a 
pink or orange color. Seed cavity is very small and 
the flesh is solid, of the best quality; rind thin 
but tough. Melons of this variety have been shipped 
thousands of miles and expert melon growers pro 
nounce it the grandest melon they ever saw. We are 
having great reports on this splendid melon from all 
parts of the country. It should be grown to be appre¬ 
ciated, We want ail our customers to grow this mel¬ 
on for it can be easily raised in any section of the 
United States, even in thefarnorth. Be sure and try it

Ml k /VSplrU1 ==^ e are ver y fortunate in being able to offer our customers this grand new 
. ITllioIV ITldUII 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 unnorm in size, of fine appearance, handsome shape, delicious and sell in any market. It is larger than many other early 
varieties, flesh is yellow, seedcavity very small and produces very few seed, which makes 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., 6c.; 3 pkts., 15c.; 6 pkts., 25c.; 12 pkts., 40c.; £ oz., 15c.; oz., 25c.
