Muskmelons—Cantaloupes 
Orange or Salmon Fleshed Varieties 

















EARLY JERSEY GEM 
88 Days—An improvement in size and 
quality over the Fordhook and just as 
early. The characteristics are the same, 
but the fruit is heavier, weighing about 
314 pounds. The flesh is that same 
bright orange, fine grained, juicy, sweet 
and spicy. A dandy melon for the home 
garden and local market. 
EMERALD GEM 
85 Days—A well named variety with a dark 
green emerald colored skin when ripe. It 
should be used as soon as picked and for this 
reason it is recommended only for home use. 
Fruits globular, slightly flattened, 41/4 ins. 
long, 54 ins. in diameter slightly netted, but 
distinctly ribbed. Very small seed cavity, and 
thick pink flesh, luscious and sweet. 
TIP TOP 
90 Days—This is an excellent variety for 
home and market garden use for nearby 
markets. Fruits large, slightly oblong, 8 ins. 
long, 7 ins. in diameter, indistinct ribs with 
slight netting. Flesh bright salmon, sweet and 
spicy. 
Pride of Wisconsin—85 Days 
NEW variety in demand among home 
gardeners, road-side markets, truck- 
ers and shippers. It is one of the sweetest 
melons grown and under favorable condi- 
tions it will produce 5 to 7 perfect fruits 
on one vine. The rind is tough, the deep 
salmon flesh is firm and it stands handling 
and shipping well. The fruits are medium 
size, almost round, 6147 ins. long, 6 ins. in 
diameter and very heavy due to the thick- 
ness of the flesh and the small triangular 
seed cavity. Skin a pearly gray color with 
a faint rib, heavily covered with a distinc- 
tive netting. 
Pride of Wisconsin Muskmelon 
FORDHOOK 
87 Days—Well known and one of the best 
small melons for home garden and nearby 
markets. It is one of the very early varieties 
of seed that New Jersey truckers never fail 
to buy. They can rely on it to produce a 
good crop of attractive, delicious sweet, spicy 
fruits. Flat in shape, 5 ins. long, 614 ins. in 
diameter with broad ribs, heavily netted. Flesh 
thick, orange-yellow and very juicy.
