Of medium size, rather elliptical in shape, netted, salmon fleshed, and so thick meated as to be almost solid; quality first- class. It is a cross between the Netted Gem and the Osage (or Miller Cream), two of the best melons for quality ever intro- duced. A first-class shipper, and in the Chicago market was quoted in 1897 at an average of more than double the price of other sorts. Price, per pound, postpaid, 75 cents; per i pound, 23 cents ; per ounce, 10 cents ; per package, 5 cents. Emerald Gem. Of the Christiana type, small in size, very early, and in form flat-round.
