the grandest salmon-fleshed melon in cultivation today, it is 
medium early, it is wonderfully sweet, it is a heavy yielder, it 
. is devoid of stringiness, it is very meaty and it has a small seed 
i cavity. 
The skin is an attractive light green, the fruits reach a very 
large size, they are nearly round with slight sutures, and 'the 
thick salmon colored flesh is the sweetest, the most luscious, 
the most sugary flavored, that we have ever eaten. The melons 
are uniform in size and pack nicely ten to a crate. This elegant 
melon is ideal for the home gardener, and truckers always find 
a heavy demand for the melons at market. 605—Pkg., 15c;
