Queen of Colorado 
117 90 days. A new melon that is claimed 
to be superior to any other in its class. 
Developed from a Honey Ball hybrid. The 
rhelon is rather large (7x6%), weight 
4 lbs., and mostly oval shaped fruits. The 
outside color is pearly grey becoming 
g’olden-yellow when ripe. The shell is unusually 
hard, the seed cavity very small and compact. 
The flesh is the thickest of any melon its size, of 
an attractive deep, rich orange color with a flavor 
that is most distinctive and truly delicious. The 
sugar content is high. The fruits remain edible 
for a number of days after having been fully 
ripened—in fact the eating qualities are improved 
after the fruits have been stored for a few days. 
In a class by itself for home and local markets.

greep fleshed Rocky Ford, medium early

crop variety. This delicious, almost round 
melon is covered with a delicate lace-like 
netting and averages about 5 inches in 
length. The thick flesh is smooth- 
grained, rich green in color with a beauti¬ 
ful gold tint next to the small seed-cavity.

rust-resistant sort and yields heavily. Pkt.,

ly covered with netting and has no
