Mliskmdons —Cantaloupes 
Orange or Salmon Fleshed Varieties 
EARLY JERSEY GEM 
88 Days —An improvement in size and qual- 
ity over the Fordhook and just as early. The 
characteristics are the same, but the fruit is 
heavier, weighing about 3;|/2 pounds. The 
flesh is that same bright orange, fine grained, 
juicy, sweet and spicy. A dandy melon for 
the home garden and local market. 
EMERALD GEM 
85 Days—A well named variety with a dark 
green emerald colored skin when ripe. It 
should be used as soon as picked and for this 
reason it is recommended only for home use. 
Fruits globular, slightly flattened, 4/2 ins. 
long, 51/2 ins. in diameter slightly netted, but 
distinctly ribbed. Very small seed cavity, and 
thick pink flesh, luscious and sweet. 
TIP TOP 
90 Days—This is an excellent variety for 
home and market garden use for nearby 
markets. Fruits large, slightly oblong, 8 ins. 
long, 7 ins. in diameter, indistinct ribs with 
slight netting. Flesh bright salmon, sweet and 
spicy. 
FORDHOOK 
87 Days—Well known and one of the best 
small melons for home garden and nearby 
markets. It is one of the very early varieties 
of seed that New Jersey truckers never fail 
to buy. They can rely on it to produce a 
good crop of attractive, delicious sweet, spicy 
fruits. Flat in shape, 5 ins. long, 6 J /2 ins. in 
diameter with broad ribs, heavily netted. Flesh 
thick, orange-yellow and very juicy. 
LAKE CHAMPLAIN 
87 Days—A good early melon for home or 
local markets. Especially desirable for sec- 
tions where the growing season is short. A 
cross between Fordhook and Emerald Gem, 
having a tendency to produce melons resem- 
bling both types. The fruits are practically 
round, 6 ins. lon.g, 5/2 ins. in diameter and 
have delicious sweet salmon-colored flesh. 
BURRELL’S GEM OR DEFENDER 
95 Days—-A fine home or market variety of 
excellent quality. Fruits oblong, 6 ins. long, 
4 ins. in diameter, faintly ribbed and heavily 
netted. Flesh thick, yellowish-salmon, sweet 
and delicious, ripening clear to the rind.
