A108 IMPERIAL 45.99 days.. An outstanding and 
unusual melon with a delightful flavor all its own. 
The peculiar golden-calor‘of its slightly netted skin 
gives one the impression of transparency. It is of 
the Rocky Ford size. The seed is held tightly in a 
very small and compact cavity. It’s a heavy yielder 
even in the hottest, driest season and never shows 
spoilage in the field, even when quite ripe. A splen- 
ji 106 HONEY ROCK 95 days. The flesh is deep, 
thick, of orange color, with a sugary and luscious 
flavor all its own. Rind is so tough, and the flesh 
so firm that it can be allowed to ripen on the vine 
and then shipped long distances and yet arrive in 
perfect condition. The fruits are nearly round, me- 
dium in size, with a heavy, coarse nettine over a 
slate-colored skin.

113 95 days. We predict this new variety will achieve 
great popularity. The medium-sized (6 by 5 inches), 
oval shaped fruits are finely netted, which in. itself! 
gives them a handsome, appearance, but when they are 
halved and disclose their beautiful salmon-colored 
flesh, their appeal is irresistible. .The flesh is thick, of 
a fine custard-like texture, and the triangular seed- 
cavity is the smallest found. in melons of this type. 
Just about perfection for a true Cantaloupe. It ‘is 
sure to supersede most of the older shipping varieties, 
now that we have this type selected to the typically 
Cantaloupe requirements. Pkt. 10c; oz, 20c; 4 Ib.
