SS days. Probably the 
best all around variety of 
muskmelon yet intro- 
duced. Certainly, no va- 
riety can claim superior- 
ity in flavor and eating 
quality. It holds up well 
for several days; allowing 
plenty of time for mar- 
keting. It is evidently a 
cross between Honey 
Rock and Hearts of Gold; 
combining the thick, 
tough rind and unsur- 
passed flavor of the Honey 
Rock with flesh texture 
of the Hearts of Gold.

From East Springfield, Pa.—Other seeds were good, but I was proud of the 
Queen of Colorado Cantaloupe.

From Butler, N. J.—I write co ask you how your Schoon’s Hardshell Canta- 
loupe compares with your Queen of Colorado. The latter is the best I ever 
tried; both in health and vigor of vine and splendid quality of the flesh 
and hard rind, attractive coarse netting.

From Montrose, lowa.—Just a line to let you know how much I think of your 
seed. I’ve planted them for three years before. I plant most your Jumbo 
H. B.’s and get from five to ten cents a dozen premium over other growers 
by the 100 dozen lots to truckers.
