A Sweet, Luscious Melon that has 
Become 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 
m 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 at¬ 
tractive. The flesh is very deep 
ripening 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. ]4 lb., $1.50 lb. 
“ 1 our Rocky Ford Cantaloupes gave great 
satisfaction. Every one said they were the best 
they ever saw. I will want more in the spring ”

Henderson's Early Flackensack. 
A Reliable and Bountiful Yielder. Large, Hand' 
some. Early. Flesh Green, Rich and Sugary. 
We were the first to distribute generally through¬ 
out the country the now famous Hackensack. This New 
Early is a selection or improvement almost equal in 
size to the Hackensack, 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 lux¬ 
uriant, healthy grower, and exceedingly productive 
($* e cut -) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. % lb.j 
[ fmd Early Hackensack remarkably healthy and vigorous. They 
arc the most prolific melons I have ever raised, the ground being liter¬ 
ally covered and every specimen of fine size and shape, and every 
melon being fine-grained and possessing the same sweet delicious flavor. 
1 hey stand at the head of the varieties I have tried.”
