A Very Comprehensive List of Muskmelons and Watermelons 
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. 
325 BANANA—So called because its shape and the 
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.

DISCO WATERMELONS 
330 CITRON, Colorado Preserving—Early, oblong 
fruits, productive, green seeded. Excellent for 
preserves and candied fruits.

round, medium sized, dark green striped with

riety, short, oblong, light green skin, mottled with 
a darker shade. Very sweet bright scarlet flesh. 
Superior for home and market use. 
334 ROUND LIGHT ICING—Nearlv round, about 
14 by 10 inches, greenish white with light green 
veins, flesh bright red. A delicious melon but 
not a good shipper. 
335 RED SEEDED HUTCHINSON—Where there 
is a good there is always a “better.” The better 
in this case is Red Seeded Hutchinson watermelon. 
This melon has everything that a good watermelon 
should have. It has rapidly gained wide popular¬ 
ity due to its size, as they weigh up to 40 pounds. 
It is remarkably early and has fine eating qual¬ 
ities. The outside color is dark green with alter¬ 
nate stripes of a lighter shade. The rind is of 
medium thickness, well suited for shipping. One 
of the newer melons which has won its popularity 
due to its excellent qualities.

oblong melon which matures early and has a very 
sweet bright red flesh. One of the most popular 
for early home and nearby market use.

type of very fine quality. The fruits are large, 
oblong, with light green mottled skin, flesh deep 
red, splendid quality, but not suitable for shipping.

grows oblong with a dark green rind, with irreg¬ 
ular stripes of darker green. A wonderful melon.

skinned, mottled with a darker shade. Flesh dark 
red. A noteworthy melon.

sistant, a good shipper. Long, dark green, sweet 
and tender. It increases in popularity every year.

melon. Bright red sweet flesh.

it one of the most satisfactory shipping melons.
