MUSK MELON— Continued 
* Green-Fleshed. X Salmon-Fleshed. 
X Lake Champlain. —An exceedingly early salmon-fleshed Melon 
of medium size and fine quality, evidently a cross between Fordhook 
and Emerald Gem as it has a tendency to produce Melons resembling 
both types. We do not recommend this as a shipping Melon as it 
ripens up quickly, but it is an excellent sort for local markets as it 
is very early, good size and it is of excellent quality.
