Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. MUSK MELONS—Salmon=FIeshed Varieties, These have sahnon-colored flesh, which in some of the varieties is ahnost red. The flesh is soft, crystalhne, and melting; it is generally too soft to stand shipping, but for local markets is highly esteemed on account of its delicious flavor. Our Emerald Ghm, a small-fruiled variety, is not only the earliest to ripen of all musk melons, but is also the first in quality. The skin is a deep rich green with lighter markings between the ribs ; the flesh is thick, of a deep orange hue, possessing deli- cious aroma and flavor. The Osage, or Miller's Cream, is of the same type, but fruits are twice as large and not quite so fine in flavor. Rose is a new, round, ribbed fruit, combining the outward appearance of our Netted Gem and the luscious salmon flesh of the Emerald Geni, yet firm enough to be a good shipping variety. Burpee's Golden is another new orange- fleshed melon of great value, as the vines are extremely vigorous, healthy, and prolific ; the fruits are oval in form. quite large in size, thick fleshed, and of fine quality ; see illustration hereivith and desci iption below. The Grand Rapids is a large oval melon, with light- green skin, heavily ribbed, but free from netting; it is one of the very earliest to ripen, but of rather insipid flavor. Burpee's Melrose produces round melons, free from ribs, but heavily netted, of good size, and deep richly shaded flesh of fine quality. Two ounces of seed will plant loo hills, or two pounds one acre, in hills 4 by 4 feet apart. Full cultural direc- tions are given in our book, " How to Grow Melons for Market," which we send, postpaid, for 20 cts. >^==In lots of 5 pounds or more, deduct 5 cents per pound. Per oz. lift.
