The flavor is sweet and luscious beyond description. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., i/4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $ MILLER'S CREAM OR OSAGE. Ranks high as a market melon, either for home or shipping. The flesh is of a rich, salmon color, very sweet and melting in quality, and is so very thick that the melon is almost solid. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lb. 30 cts., lb. $ BURRELL GEM. This melon comes from the melon-growing district, which was made fam- ous by the Rocky Ford Musk Melon, or which this is a counterpart, except in color of flesh, which is a beautiful dark salmon or orange. If you want a delicious melon for home use or you desire \ ariety which will bring a fancy price on the market, this we can recommend. The melons grow to a desirable size, have slight rib and close netting. Skin is rather dark green and rind thin, leaving a thick lining of flesh which is of a most delicious juicy flavor and fairly melts in the mouth. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lb. 30 cts., lb. $ GOLDEN HEARTS. This fine variety is the re- sult of careful crossing and selecting by a well- known melon grower of Michigan. It is of me- dium size and earliness, the flesh is thick, very tender and a beautiful salmon color, being sweet and delicious. It is becoming the lead- ing basket melon and is fast taking the lead in sections where the Rocky Ford is not a success. Golden Hearts is an excellent shipper and so good that the hotel trade take all they can get. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., lb. 50 cts., lb. $ EARLY GREEN NUTMEG. The standard sort; fruit oval, good size, thickly netted flesh light green, rich, sweet and melting. Pkt. 5 ct
