248. Wood s Perfection all orange fleshed cantaloupes; 
beautiful in appearance, but the deliciously sweet, spicy flavor

equal, There is no trace of stringiness; the flesh is so thick that 
the seed cavity is unusually small; it is covered with a lace-like

282. Dixie Queen (85 Days)—Sometimes called Cuban Queen. 
Not the biggest melons (they average 35 
to 40 pounds), but the quality is such that it has created quite 
a sensation. The sparkling, crisp, rich scarlet flesh is firm, sweet 
and juicy right up to the rind, which is thin and tough. It has 
been described as “unbeatable for the home garden.” Pkt. 10c;

+ 90 Days)—In sweetness it is like Kleckley’s 
270. Irish Gray ae in shipping quality, it compares with 
Tom Watson. The thin rind is so tough it will not burst from 
rough treatment in transit; its keeping quality will appeal to 
shippers who have experienced losses on account of glutted mar- 
kets. The color is a distinct mottled greenish gray; the flesh is 
red, sweet, crisp and free from strimginess. Although a grand 
shipper, it is equally fine for the home garden. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 20c;

very best melon for home gardens and local markets.” They 
often attain up to 75 lbs. in weight. The flesh is brilliant red, 
tender, luscious, very sweet and has a distinetly delicious flavor.

for home gardens and nearby markets.
