Note vigorous vine-growth and unusual type melon 
Abbott & Cobb Muskmelon 
Another variety of merit, originated and grown on our own farms. We have developed 
an unusually strong vine and, this season, saw it produce a wonderful crop under the most 
adverse weather conditions which we have ever experienced. It is very productive, bearing 
fruit with a very thick, firm, dark pink flesh. The netting is not as pronounced as in some 
other varieties. The quality is far above the average. Average weight, 314 Ibs. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
0z. 25 cts.; 14lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2; 10 Ibs. $18.56. 
HEARTS OF GOLD or HOODOO. A new, orange-fleshed variety, ideal as a shipping melon and of the 
very finest quality. Vine vigorous, remarkably blight-resisting, and very productive. Fruit of medium 
and very uniform size. Flesh thick; firm, highly colored, of fine texture and delicious flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
0z. 15 cts.; 4lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 10 Ibs. $11.50. 
ROCKY FORD. The most desirable green-fleshed melon and unexcelled for spiciness and sweetness. Our 
stock is the improved blight-resistant type of Rocky Ford. Its shipping qualities are fine. Light green 
flesh with small seed-cavity and extra-fine flavor. A very popular variety and always scarce and in heavy 
demand. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14lb. 30 cts.; lb. $1; 10 Ibs. $9.

HONEY DEW. This new and deliciously flavored melon has met with instant public favor. It is the very
