MILES’ NEW STRAWRERRY 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 wc call Strawberry. We 
have een

MILLS’ EARLIEST 
—This is the earliest 
Musk Melon and 
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 Mi k 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 aud we have fully demonstrated 
by our trials that it deserves the name “Mills’ Earliest,” and we know .hat 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.; V\ Ib., 50c.
