Burpee's Melrose Melon is a very hardy, strong, and vigorous grower, the vines re- maining green longer than in any other variety. The melons are produced abundantly, and very close to the hill,—a feature of great value. The color is rich, dark green ; the shape is oval, as shown in the illustration. The melons average in weight about four pounds, densely netted, showing but slight tendency to rib ; the form is remarkably perfect; all-in-all, the handsomest and most showy of Melons. The flesh is very thick and solid ; clear, light green in color, shading to a rich salmon at the seed cavity.

It is only about one week later in ripening than the small early Jenny Lind.

A large melon grower, to whom we sent some seed, says, "it is a good thing and worth controlling as long as The fruits are small (about the size of Burpee's Netted Gem), apple-shaped, dark green mottled with light spots, bright yellow when ripe
