Tip-Top Cantaloupe 
No. 257. Tip-Top 
(90 Days)— Rightly 
named, for it is one of 
the most delicious mel¬ 
ons. The fruits are of 
good size, quite well 
netted, evenly ribbed, 
have thick orange flesh, 
sweet, juicy and of the 
finest spicy flavor, even 
close to the rind. It is 
the sort of melon that 
if you grow it once you 
will always give it a 
place in your garden. 
All through the season 
the early melons and 
the late ones are good.
