Extra Early Sunrise. This melon is very early, it ripens as early 
as the Lake Champlain which is considered the earliest of 
all the yellow meated melons grown. The melons grow quite 
large, average 5 lbs. or more and are of oval shape, light 
golden yellow, and covered with fine netting; the flesh is 
firm deep orange yellow, and of high flavor, very sweet. 
The combination of earliness, high quality and good size, 
is not found in any other melon on this market. 75 days.. $0.10 $0.30 $1.00 
Improved Strain Extra Early Sunrise. This melon with its fine 
qualities is rapidly becoming one of the most popular kinds.

Earliest Ripe Musk Melon. This is the earliest yellow-fleshed 
musk melon that we know of, being ready for the market in 
65 to 70 days after planting it; is of oval shape, good size, 
about five inches in diameter, with fairly distinct ribbing, 
heavily netted. The flesh is exceptionally thick, of a rich 
salmon yellow color, sweet, luscious and melting, and the 
flavor is unsurpassed by that of any other variety. The 
vines are robust and vigorous, resisting blight to a marked 
degree .10 .30 1.10 
Schoon’s Hard-Shell Bender — A new and excellent flavored 
melon, similar to Bender’s Surprise. It is valuable, especially 
for its extra hard shell, which makes it fine for shipping. 
It will stand in the field or market better than most vari¬ 
eties. It is deeply ribbed, well netted over its yellow skin.
