The Henderson Bush Musk Melon 
DELICIOUS 
FLAVOR 
WORDS 
OF PRAISE 
“Vour 'Henderson' Bush Musk Melons aroused the curiosity of all who saw 
them —so different were they in habit of growth from the vine melons that many 
people could not belieiie they were melons until the fruit appeared. I could plant 
twice as many hills on the same plot of ground which was a great advantage.” 
A. J. SCRIVENS, North Hackensack. N. J. 
“ We never grew melons before as our garden is small, but last yeqr we put in 
a few hills of your Bush Musk Melon, 3 feet apart, and followed your directions 
with gratifying results. We allowed four plants to the hill and their average yield 
was 15 melons to the hill, all as sweet and delicious as the best melon we ever lasted. ”

We have been singularly successful in intro¬ 
ducing to the gardening public a number of 
varieties of vegetables which, in addition to 
being of great value in themselves, have 
exhibited such greatly divergent character¬ 
istics that they have created a class for them¬ 
selves, and have proved to bo the forerunners 
of varieties of such great value from an 
economical standpoint, that they have revolu¬ 
tionized the industries devoted to their production, 
and have largely superseded the existing kinds, 
directing the attention of hybridizers to different 
and more profitable channels. 
Of such are Stringless Beans, Self-Blanching Celeries, 
and Bush Lima Beans. Of equal value is the Henderson 
Bush Musk Melon, a distinct addition to this notable list, 
the advent of which is fraught with immense possibilities for 
the future development of this delicious fruit. 
HENDERSON’S BUSH MUSK MELO.N CROWS A TRUE 
BUSH and is radically different from any existing kind. The 
instant and pensistent demand for it, and the enthusiastic reports 
from those who have grown it, assure us of its permanent success. 
The bush character is attained by a shortening of the stem 
between the joints. There are just as many leaves on the plant as on 
other kinds, but these grow so compactly that the plant can be grown 
on one-half the space usually required. Notwithstanding its radical 
departure from existing types it is by no means a freak, its freedom 
from variation has been too constant over the entire time of our 
observance of it.

“/ planted your Bush Musk Melon last year, and had as many as B7 fruits at 
one time.” ' L. S. WEBER, Swarlhmore, Penji. 
” 1 must tell you how pleased I was with your 'Henderson' Bush Musk Melon. 
My hills were made feet apart and two plants grown in each hill. / sprayed 
them every week with Bordeaux, so they were healthy, vigorous and free from blight 
and lice. The plants bore usuallv six melons each, all perfect and of the finest 
flavor.” CHARLES E. COMPTON. Harrington, Del. 
" Your Bush Musk Melon did extra well with me considering the hot dry season. 
It is early, vigorous, very productive and an excellent table melon.” 
EDGAR F. HURFF, Mullica Hill, N. J. 
The fruit is small, but fully equal in quality to the old and justly 
esteemed Jenny Lind, which is jrrobably the best flavored of all 
green-fleshed sorts. They are produced in abundance, in fact we 
advise that each plant be allowed to ripen only about one-half of 
the fruit, as it is apt to bear too many. 
It delights in a rich, preferably sandy, well manured soil, and 
responds favorably to frequent applications of water during drought.
