MUSK MELON (Cont.) 
Oz. Y Lb. 1 Lb. 
Queen of Colorado. 88 days. Probably the best all around variety 
of Musk Melon yet introduced. Certainly, no variety can 
claim superiority in flavor and eating quality. It holds up 
well for several days: allowing plenty of time for market- 
ing. It is a cross between Honey Rock and Hearts of Gold; 
combining the thick tough rind and unsurpassed flavor of 
the Honey Rock, with flesh texture of the Hearts of Gold: 
will withstand shipping moderate distances. Melons solidly 
netted with a very coarse gray netting, slightly ribbed: 
some larger than Honey Rock. Flesh thick and salmon 
in color. Won honorable mention in 1939 All-America

Queen of Colorado 
Golden Combination (Special). Unsurpassed in sweetness and 
flavor. This new melon has a deliciously sweet “musky” 
flavor which we have never tasted in any other kind. It 
is a medium large muskmelon, somewhat oval in shape, 
and with very thick, deep orange flesh of fine texture. 
The skin is very heavily netted and of a pale green color 
which turns to light yellow as the melons ripen. This is 
the heaviest melon for its size of any we have ever seen. 
It ripens about the same time as Bender’s Surprise. Try 
some Golden Combination this year. We are sure you will

New Beauty Osage (Special). We introduce this exceptional 
new melon for quality, size and earliness. We predict it 
will come into general use for a home or market melon. 
The melons ripen early and produce a heavy crop. They 
usually weigh 6 to 8 pounds. The shape is round oblong, 
slightly ribbed and with a creamy yellow color when ripe. 
The flesh is salmon, very thick and of wonderful quality. 
The melons are quite heavily netted and of attractive 
appearance. The quality is the best of any large melon
