Henderson s 
Early Hackensack. 
A Reliable and Bountiful Yielder. 
Large, Handsome, Early. 
Flesh Green, Rich and Sugary. 
We were the first to distribute 
generally throughout the country the 
now famous Hackensack. This New 
Early is a selection or improvement 
almost equal in size to the Hacken¬ 
sack, and at least ten days earlier. 
Several years thorough trial has 
proven it to be the best as well as 
the earliest of all large netted melons. 
The melons weigh from four to six 
pounds each. The skin is green and 
thickly netted; flesh is light green, 
of delicious flavor, rich and sugary. 
It is also a luxuriant, healthy grower, 
and exceedingly productive. (See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 
lb., $2.00 lb. 
Sweet and Luscious 
World-famous for its Captivating Flavor. 
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 net¬ 
ting is prominent and light in color; appearance very 
attractive. The flesh is very deep, rij ening clear to 
the rind, very solid, yet thoroughly melting, and it has 
an exceedingly small seed cavity. It is very sweet and 
luscious in flavor. Our seed was specially grown for 
us by a careful grower at Rocky Ford, and is the best 
type of the genuine Rocky Ford Musk Melon. It has 
been used in many sections and is pronounced by melon 
growers a very superior strain. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 
15c. oz., 45c. y± lb., $1.50 lb. 
The Rocky Ford Melons were delicious and remarkably productive.”

HENDERSON'S GENUINE 
ROCKY FORD MUSK MELON. 
Henderson's Newport Musk Melon. 
A LANGE TYPE OF JENNY LIND. 
Everyone who tastes our Newport Musk Melon goes into 
ecstasies over its rich, aromatic flavor, and it certainly is, we 
think, the most delicious of all green-fleshed sorts. It is very 
early, ripening with the Jenny Lind, which it resembles and 
from which it originated. The fruits are deep and almost round; 
exterior dull green, ripening to a rich golden color, evenly and 
closely netted. The ribs are quite shallow. The flesh is of ex¬ 
quisite texture, rich and melting clear to the rind. It is 
a bountiful yielder; the melons are not large, but of that desir¬ 
able size the market demands. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 45c. 
K lb., $1.50 lb. * 
The Burrell Gem Musk Melon. 
A RED-FLESHED ROCKY FORD. 
This new red-fleshed cantaloupe is ideal for either the home 
garden or for market. The rather elongated fruits average 6 
inches in length, 4}^ inches through and weigh about 2 pounds 
each. The flesh of red-orange is very thick, fine grained and 
deliciously rich and spicy in flavor. Seed cavity remarkably 
small; the rind is thin but tough. Color, green closely inter¬ 
laced with gray netting; ribs well arched. The vines are healthy, 
vigorous and very productive. Price, 10c. pkt., 20 oz., 55c. y 
lb., $1.75 lb. 
“.As an experiment I grew some of your Burrell Gem musk melon last year. 
They were healthy and prolific, and pronounced the fittest ever tasted.”
