Flesh is very thick and solid, clear light green, shading to a lich salmon at seed cavity.

This new musk melon is a cross between the two well known favorites Osage and Netted Gem, combining the rich sweetness of the former with the fine netting of the Gem. The flesh is sal- mon in color with a fine close grain and is said, by those who have eaten it, to be most delicious and appetizing. The rind though thin is very. firm, which with its peculiar structure of flesh makes i: one of the best shipping and keeping melons on the market. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, ^lb. 50c, lb. $ Netted Gem. One of the earliest and best small mel- ons grown. Globular in shape and very uniform in size; flesh light green and of very fine flavor; exceedingly productive. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ^lb. 20c, lb. 60c. Champion Market. It is almost a perfect globe in sih'ape and densely netted, the flesh thick, light green in color and of a very rich, sweet flavor. It is nearly as early as the Netted Gem, which it re- sembles in shape and appearance and far surpasses in size. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, J41b. 20c, lb. 60c. Tip Top. This melon is so distinct in appearance that it attracts attention at first sight; it also stands the very highest in quality; is sweet, juicy and firm, but not hard fleshed; eatable to the very outside coating and of the finest flavor. In productiveness it is unexcelled. Pkt. 5c. oz.
