Muskmelon 
Queen oi Colorado 
Honorable Mention 1939 "All America" Selections. 
Queen of Colo- 
duys* (See 
front cover of 
■■■■ ■ “ this catalog for 
illustration.) Probably the 
best all around variety of 
muskmelon yet introduced. 
Certainly, no variety can 
claim superiority in fla¬ 
vor and eating quality. 
It holds up well for sev¬ 
eral days; allowing plen¬ 
ty of time for marketing. 
It is evidently a cross be¬ 
tween Honey Rock and 
Hearts of Gold; combin¬ 
ing the thick, tough rind 
and unsurpassed flavor of 
the Honey Rock with 
flesh texture of the 
Hearts of Gold. Will with¬ 
stand shipping moderate 
distances. Melons solidly 
netted with a very coarse, 
loosely laced grey netting, 
slightly ribbed. Some 
larger than Honey Rock. 
Flesh thick and salmon 
in color. Won Honorable 
Mention in the 1939 “All 
America’’ Selection.

Pride of Wisconsin 
88 days. Description similar to Queen of 
Coloi'ado as that variety is an improved se- 
' lection of the Pride of Wisconsin. We have had 
trial ground reports from the east to the effect that our stock is outstanding 
in quality.

days. A very large melon of attractive ap- 
VVUyolUt; pearance suited to local market and will ship 
.. short distances. As grown here average weight 
about 51/^ lbs. The skin is grey or slate in color and covered with a medium 
coarse, loosely laced netting; having much the appearance of a very large 
Honey Rock. Flesh is golden, very thick; not fine in texture but of good 
flavor. Withstands excessive moisture and retains its flavor better than most 
other varieties under such conditions. Honorable Mention “All America”
