New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 125. 
This appeared to be a rather small strain of the Christiana. 
xtra Early Hackensack. Plant vigorous and productive ; stems 
. running 4 to 5 feet; fruit roundish, distinctly ribbed, strongly 
netted, yellowish when ripe, well-developed samples 5 to 6. 
inches in diameter; flesh pale green, very sweet and delicious. 
The stem does not detach itself at maturity. 
One of the best of the early large-sized, green-fleshed varieties.. 
Golden Perfection. Evidently not adapted to our climate. The. 
vine made a feeble growth and the foliage had an unhealthy 
appearance. Few fruits set and none matured. 
Described and illustrated in Les Plantes Potagéres, page 344, 
and in The Vegetable Garden, page 336. 
Grand View. Plant very vigorous and productive; stems 
running 4 or 5 feet; fruit roundish, distinctly ribbed, largely 
* covered with a whitish network over a rather rich green ground, 
furrows whitish green, well-developed samples 5 inches in 
diameter ; flesh orange, very rich, sweet and pleasant. 
Honey Dew Green Citron. This appeared much mixed. Some. 
of the fruits were very oblong oval and large in size; others were 
small and approaching round; flesh pale yellow, moderately rich, 
sweet. 
Miller's Cream. Plant vigorous and very productive; stems 
running 4 to 5 feet; fruit regularly oval, distinctly ribbed, 
finely netted, greenish brown when ripe; average samples 4 
inches in diameter, 5 inches through the axis; flesh very rich 
yellow or orange, firm, extremely sweet, rich and delicious. 
One of the finest melons I have tested. Its chief fault is that. 
it is rather late in ripening. 
Miller's Cream Nutmeg was the same as the above. 
New Orange Cream. Plant moderately vigorous, productive ; 
stems running about 4 feet; fruit roundish, without ribs, pale 
yellow when ripe, thickly. netted, the network colored like the 
ground, well developed. samples 4 inches in diameter; flesh 
green, shading to whitish at the center, very sweet, and remark- 
ably high flavored for a green-fleshed melon. 
New Vandalia. Plant moderately vigorous, productive; stems 
running about 4 feet; fruit roundish or oval, distinctly fur- 
rowed, somewhat netted, pale yellow when ripe, average samples.
