318 HALE’S BEST—A very early melon, medium 
sized and oval, it is lightly ribbed, and heavily 
netted. The thick, fine quality flesh is sweet. It 
is one of the best for shipping. 
319 EMERALD GEM—While this is not suitable 
for shipping, it is one of the best quality melons 
for home or nearby market use. It is small, glob¬ 
ular, slightly flattened, deeply ribbed, lightly 
netted. The flesh is delicious.

taste of its thick orange flesh resembles a banana. 
They are often from 15 to 20 inches long, smooth 
and slender, weigh about 6 pounds, and are lemon 
colored when they mature. 
GREEN FLESHED 
321 HONEY DEW—The best known of the winter 
melons, it will keep until Christmas time, and 
of course is excellent for shipping. It is one of 
the sweetest and most delicious melons grown. 
Oval in shape, medium sized, it has a smooth 
lemon tinted skin. 
323 MONTREAL GREEN NUTMEG—Its distinc¬ 
tive feature is size, since it often weighs 18 or 
20 pounds. Round, medium green, it is ribbed 
and netted. 
326 ROCKY FORD—The most extensively used 
melon of its class because of its excellent quality. 
The very deep light green flesh is edible down to 
the thin rind. They are very solid and good for 
shipping. Slightly oval in shape, and rather small, 
finely netted and greenish gold when fully ripe.
