Its flesh and flavor, as well as its shape, remind one of a great luscious Banana. Pkt., 5c,: oz., 30c Montreal Creen Nutmeg—An uncommonly large melon and a great cropper; flesh green, very firm, and delicious, and, unlike most varieties, does not lose flavor during wet or cloudy weather. Pkt., 5c. oz., 10c.; lb., 80?. Winter Pineapple—A new melon of much value, owing to the fact that it can be kept until Christmas or later. The color of the flesh is a deep lemon-yellow, and the outer skin is a dark green, marked with yellow. The quality is delicious having a rich spicy flavor and much thicker and firmer flesh than ordinary Muskmelons, hence their long keeping qualities, They very rarely ripen on the vines, so melons must be picked off in the fall and put in some cool place until they are wanted. It is usually necessary to place them in a warm room for three or four days before using, so as to ripen thoroughly; in this way they can be had for the winter months.
