* - attention was called to ~ 
this Melon many years ago by a market ~ 
gardener near La Crosse, who for the ~ 
% past years has always had Muskmelons 
: from 8 to 15 days ahead of his 
neighbors. These Melons were of — 
uniform size, of fine shape and ap- _ 
pearance, yellow fleshed, extremely 
delicious, and sold readily in our 
markets from $1.25 to $2.00 per: — 
dozen, the profit to an acre being 
something enormous, as all the 
Melons were usually sold before — 
other sorts came into the market.

blight to a marked degree. 606—
