THE BEST MELON FOR THE MARKET GARDENER. Exceedingly Prolific, Strong, Vigorous Grower. Unsurpassed in Flavor. A wonderfully luxuriant grower, combining more good qualities than any other now on the market. It is exceedingly productive and especially fine flavored; very attractive in appearance, medium in size and ripens medium early. The flesh is a deep salmon color, thick, firm and solid, and possesses a rich, aromatic flavor. The fruit is very uniform in size, and every Melon is a good one, sweet and lucious to the rind. As a market gardener's Melon we believe it has no equal, and it is an excellent shipper.
