_ Karliest 
Yellow Fleshed 
Melon 
Muskmelons 
SALZER’S EARLIEST 
RIPE MUSKMELON 
1 sane Earliest of All. Our 
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. 


THIS IS THE EARLIEST YEL- 
LOW-FLESHED MUSKMELON 
that ‘we know of, being ready for 
the market in about 60 days after 
planting. It is of oval shape, as 
may be seen by the illustration, of 
good size, about five inches in di- 
ameter, with fairly distinct rib- 
bing, heavily netted. The flesh is 
exceptionally thick, of a rich salmon- 
yellow color, sweet, luscious and 
melting, and the flavor is unsurpassed 
by that of any other variety. The 
vines are robust and vigorous, resisting 
blight to a marked degree. 606— 
Pke., 10¢; 0z., 24c; %4 Ib., 72c; % Ib, 
$1.30; lb., $2.45, postpaid.

SALZER’S SUGAR ROCK MUSKMELON 
A Type of Muskmelon That Is Creating a 
4 CENTS Sensation! Also Known as Honey Rock! 
PKG, 



Heavily 
Netted 
Luscious 
Salzer’s Sugar Rock is one of the most prolific melons a 
avor 
: on the market today. It is strikingly attractive and 
distinct from all other sorts. Fruits are oval, of good large size, with- 
out ribbing and heavily netted. Matures in about 80 days. 
Four characteristics describe this melon: productiveness, striking ap- 
pearance, quality, and ability to stand shipping and handling. The flesh 
is deep and thick, orange color, with a sugary and luscious flavor that 
is unequaled today. It is so aromatic that one melon, uncut, will scent 
a room with its sugary odor. 
_ The outside rind is light golden yellow overlaid with heavy gray net- 
ting, and is so tough that ripe melons may be picked and then shipped 
a long distance and arrive in good condition. Vines are strong and vig- 
orous and do not show any trace of blight. 626—Pk¢., 7c; 0z., 23e3; % Ib., 
69e; 14 Ib., $1.23; Ib., $2.35, postpaid.
