Breakfast Queen. This new variety is an exceptionally good one 
where a medium size mellon is wanted. The melons are 
creamy yellow with an extremely heavy net, they somewhat 
resemble Sugar Rock but are more oval and a little larger, 
the flesh is thick, deep orange and of superior quality. The 
vines are extremely prolific, vigorous and healthy, the fruit 
ripens about a week later than Bender’s SUTDIise. ee 10 .3D 1.25 
Golden Combination (Special). Unsurpassed in sweetness and 
flavor. This new melon has a deliciously sweet “musky” 
flavor which we have never tasted in any other kind. It 
is a medium large muskmelon, somewhat oval in shape, 
and with very thick, deep orange flesh of fine texture. 
The skin is very heavily netted and of a pale green color 
which turns to light yellow as the melons ripen. This is 
the heaviest melon for its size of any we have ever seen. 
It ripens about the same time as Bender’s Surprise. Try 
some Golden Combination this year. We are sure you will

New Beauty Osage (Special). We introduce this exceptional 
new melon for quality, size and earliness. We predict it 
will come into general use for a home or market melon. 
The melons ripen early and produce a heavy crop. They 
usually weigh 6 to 8 pounds. The shape is round oblong, 
slightly ribbed and with a creamy yellow color when ripe. 
The flesh is salmon, very thick and of wonderful quality. 
The melons are quite heavily netted and of attractive 
appearance. The quality is the best of any large melon
