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, 31% Ibs. Pkt. 10 cts.;
