Brooks, an extensive Gloucester Co, trucker. They were shipped under the brand " N. B. B.,"and always commanded the highest market price, and very often double the price paid for other sorts. A Baltimore commission house, in speaking of them, says: "They surpass any we ever handled, and the trade speaks in the highest terms of their fine quality. We positively say that we do not be- lieve that finer melons can be grown," The melon is nutmeg-shaped, large, finely netted, with very thick flesh of a greenish golden color. Per pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts. ; ^ lb. 30 cts.; lb. 90 els. Extra Early Hackensack, A fine early can- taloupe, which has become one of the most popular of the market sorts, many of our market gardener customers preferring it to all others. It resembles the old Hackensack in shape, but is fully ten days earlier than that variety. Has a roughly netted skin, and dark thick flesh of ex- cellent flavor. Per pkt. 5 cts.; oz 25 cts. ; lb. 70 cts. oval shape, salmon-colored flesh, and very thick meat. Per pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts, ; ^ lb. 25 cts. ; lb. 70 cts. Extra Early Hanover. This is the earliest of all cantaloupes, coming in fully ten days ahead of any other sort. It is of rather small size, round in shape, flattened at the ends, ribbed and netted. Flesh, sweet and of good quality. We recommend it as especially desirable on ac- count of its extreme earliness, and on this ac- count it should prove a valuable sort both for the home and the market garden.
