After trials of about 20 kinds we selected the following: 
ALABAMA SWEET. The best long melon grown; fine for 
shipment, large, of oblone form, flesh bright red and of delicious flavor. 
Seeds are white. 
COLE’S EARLY. Best home variety and for nearby market; 
early and hardy, very sweet, red, rind slightly striped. 
FORDHOOK EARLY. A good melon and ranks up with Cole’s 
Early, only larger and better, long distance shipper. 
HALBERT’S HONEY. Another good home variety, with a 
dark green skin and crimson flesh, extra flavor, rather oblong. Once 
tried it will always find a place in the garden. 
KLECKLEY SWEET. A big melon, rank grower and simply 
covers the ground with fruit of fine market quality. It does well in 
northern climate, and cannot be beaten for medium crop. 
TOM WATSON. Though this variety matures early, it is the 
largest melon 18 to 20 inches long and 10 to 12 inches thick and has a 
record of weighing from 40 to 50 pounds. A tough rind, making it a 
good shipper. Its quality is as good as any melon grown. There is no 
mistake in growing ‘‘Tom Watson.”

long and 4 inches in diameter. Flesh pink, sweet and delicious. Good 
for home use. Matures in 90 days; weight often 7 lbs. 
BENDER (Bender’s Surprise). A very popular melon in east- 
ern markets. Flesh is deep orange, thick, and deliciously flavored; 
rind is light green changing to golden tint when ripe, heavily ribbed 
and netted. Later than Irondequoit and more oblong in shape. The 
melons are uniformly large, often weighing from 8 to 10 
pounds, with superior shipping and keeping qualities. 
EARLY HACKENSACK. Very early, green flesh, sweet, 
of good size, juicy, small seed space, good market melon. 
EMERALD GEM. Old standard, smooth skin, salmon 
color flesh, very sweet, hardy, thrifty and prolific. 
_HALE’S BEST. The earliest maturing of all large 
melons. Even in a season remarkable for its coolness the 
fruits matured to luscious sweetness in 68 days after planting. 
The melons are oval but inclined to produce some fruit of 
somewhat elongated shape. The popularity of Hale’s Best is 
due not only to its earliness but particularly to the sweet, 
tasty flavor of its beautiful salmon flesh. 
HEARTS OF GOLD. Flesh orange color; fine fiavor. 
Ripens in 70 days. Exceedingly productive, flesh firm, thin 
hard rind, splendid shipper. Try this for home and market 
garden. Michigan growers get a higher price for it in city 
markets than any other melon. 
HONEY ROCK (or Sugar Rock). A wonderfully sweet 
melon with thick orange flesh and a distinctive flavor, sug- 
gesting the Honey Dew taste. It produces heavily and matures 
in 85 days. Oval fruits of medium size, not ribbed. An ex- 
cellent home garden variety. 
IMPERIAL MUSKMELON, (New.) A round, netted, variety 
with very thick flesh and an extremely small seed cavity. It can be 
thoroughly vine ripened and still be shipped. We consider this to be 
the coming market variety. 
LAKE CHAMPLAIN. (57 days.) A new variety which has 
proved out supreme in numerous widely separated tests for hardiness, 
earliness, productiveness and quality. The melon is medium sized, in- 
tricately netted, moderately ribbed; the flesh is deep, very sweet and 
melting, of a beautiful golden yellow color. The plants are very 
vigorous and bushy, ripening perfect fruits even under adverse con- 
ditions, far in advance of all competing varieties. 
OSAGE (Miller’s Cream). Dark green, egg shape, medium size, 
a thick red-salmon meat, thin and best flavor. 
ROCKY FORD or NETTED GEM. Greatly improved over the 
Gem varieties, slightly oblong, very sweet and fine flavored, thick 
fleshed, early and sure. The kind you liked when a boy. Made Colo- 
rado famous for Muskmelons. 
TIP TOP. Medium size, nearly round, slightly ribbed, nearly 
covered with netting, orange-colored flesh. An excellent market sort.
