 MUSKMELON 
We have had over 45 years of experience growing Muskmelon seed 


Schoon’s Hard-Sheli—the best large muskmelon. 
Schoon's Hard-Shel] 88 days. A new and_ excellent 
flavored melon somewhat on the 
order of Bender’s Surprise in shape and general appearance. It is 
valuable, especially for its extra hard shell which makes it fine 
for marketing as it will stand up better than most varieties. It 
is deeply ribbed, covered with a grayish yellow rope-like netting 
except for the distinct stripes or interstices. Skin is a beautiful 
yellow, flesh is medium in grain, red salmon in color, and_ the 
sweet, tasty flavor calls for more. Weight about 6 to 7 pounds.
