MUSKMELON—(Continued) 
IROQUOIS MUSKMELON 
DELICIOUS 75 to 80 Days 
Ripens two weeks earlier than Bender. Fruits quite large, averaging about 5 
pounds. Skin creamy yellow, flesh fairly solid, deep orange, of excellent flavor. 
Especially recommended for home garden and roadside trade as this melon 
will not ship as well as Bender. 
GOLDEN DELIGHT (New) 
An All American Bronze Medal winner for 1952. An outstanding melon for 
home garden and local market. Not recommended for long distance shipping. 
A large, broad, oval melon, with very thick salmon colored flesh of the best 
flavor. Attractive greyish-green netting with indistinct ribbing. We believe 
this will become one of the most popular home garden and local market varieties. 
HONEY ROCK 85 Days 
This is a handsome variety. The flesh is extremely thick, salmon colored. 
The shape is round, with coarse netting, slate colored background. It is early, 
prolific and if not already acquainted with this new variety, it is well worth a 
trial for comparison with varieties you are now growing. 
TRO QUOIS—Resistant to Fusarium Wilt 90 Days 
This new resistant, medium size Bender type was developed by Dr. Munger 
of Cornell University. High quality, thick, deep orange flesh, prominent 
ribs, heavy netting, with thin tough rind. Ripens about the same time as 
see The only variety on our list to grow on land infected with fusarium 
wilt. 
QUEEN OF COLORADO 88 Days 
One of the best all around varieties. Thick, tough rind, flavor of Honey Rock 
and flesh texture of Hearts of Gold. Melons slightly oval, heavy coarse gray 
netting, slightly ribbed. Thick salmon flesh, small seed cavity. An improved 
strain of Pride of Wisconsin. 
SCHOON’S HARD SHELL 90 Days 
This Bender-type melon is especially valuable because of the hard shell which 
permits long distance shipping. Fruits are 614” long by 5%” through the 
center, covered with coarse netting and deeply ribbed. Skin yellow, flesh 
salmon-colored, sweet and of medium fine grain.
