Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. MUSK MELONS or Cantaloupes—Green=Fleshed. Burpp:e's Nktted Gem (re-christened "Rocky Ford") is deservedly the most popular of the small green-fleshed Nutmeg Cantaloupes, or, as they are frequently called, Ci/rons. It is quite early in ripening, very prolific ; fruits are even in size, finely netted, and of supe- rior quality. Early Jouiy Lind is a few days earlier than the Netted Gem ; flattened in shape and not so fine in quality. Jersey Belle and Norfolk Button strain are improved types of the Jenny Lind. Burpee's Champion Market is of medium size, larger than the preceding sorts, but still not a large melon ; round, well netted, and attractive in appearance as well as of fine quality. Cosmopolitan and Siiperio) are round fruits of medium size, heavily netted but without ribs, and of fine flavor. The Green-J-'lcslied Osa_u:e has a deep pea-green skin like the Osage, but has bright-green flesh of fine quality. Acme is a favorite Baltimore variety, of oval form ; it has a slight neck at the stem end. Hackensack is a good sized, heavily ribbed and netted melon, of fine quality. Extra Early Hackensack is ten days earlier and slightly smaller, while the new Long Island Beauty is the earliest and best of this type. Burpee's Bay I'iciu is a large oval fruit, heavily ribbed and well netted ; of similar form, it is superior to the old Cassaba. Montreal Green Nutmeg is a very large, heavily ribbed fruit, with thick luscious flesh ; like other large-fruited musk melons it succeeds best in a rather cool climate. All of these varieties are excellent for market, of fine appearance, regular form and size, and of good shipping qualities. BURPEE'S champion market melon.
