Musk Melon 
HENDERSON'S "MELTING SUGAR” 
MUSK MELON 
This new triumph of the hybridizer’s art, will prove a revelation 
to all who enjoy a delicious Musk Melon. It would seem as if no 
desirable quality had been omitted in its make-up. The crowning 
merit, being its superb quality; flesh solid yet of fine texture, melt- 
ingly tender and sweet without being insipid and having a delightfully 
appetizing aroma. 
It is the earliest and best variety in the United States to-day, 
practically drought and disease proof, and all who grow Musk Melons 
know that luscious high quality Melons are not produced on blighted, 
sickly vines. The fruits are wonderfully uniform in shape and size, 
7 to 8 inches in length by 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and very heavy 
for their size, averaging 3 to 4 pounds each or almost double the 
weight of other Melons of equal size; shape oblong, distinctively 
ribbed and intricately netted, the skin between the netting being 
of rich olive-green. It is one of the handsomest Musk Melons we 
have ever seen. The vines are very prolific, setting 6 to 8 Melons 
each and as nearly alike as so many Peas. The fruits “stand up well’ ’ ! 
after maturity, that is the flesh does not begin to decay immediately 
it is ripe; the seed cavity is small, flesh deep, edible almost to the 
rind and of a sparkling soft green color tinged with golden-salmon. 
We predict that Henderson’s “Melting Sugar” Musk Melon 
will become not only highly popular for the home garden but will 
win a national reputation as the best market Melon yet produced. ,

HENDERSON'S GENUINE 
ROCKY FORD MUSK MELON 
ROCKY FORD has proven to be a most valuable Musk Melon; 
its size, shape and quality exactly suit the epicure. It somewhat 
resembles the old Netted Gem, but is more oval in shape. The 
vines are exceedingly healthy and vigorous, bearing an enormous 
quantity of fruits during the entire season. It is safe to say that 
no Melon has ever come into the New York markets which has 
sold so readily and at such high prices as the Rocky Ford, often 
to the exclusion of other varieties. The color of the skin is of 
a rich greenish-gold; the netting is prominent and light in color; 
appearance very attractive. The green flesh is very deep, ripening 
clear to the rind, very solid and it has^an exceedingly small seed 
cavity. It is very sweet and luscious in flavor. Price, 10c. pkt., 
15c. oz., 35c. 14 lb., $1.00 lb.
