Large Yellow Cantaloupe.—Flesh, reddish-orange, sweet and good flavor; an early and productive variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c.; lb., 60c. Osage—One of the best for shipping and the finest for table use; the skin is dark green, slightly netted on the lobes on the upper side, and on the best specimens a rich orange color where the melon lies on the ground, and on this side it is eatable within an eighth of an inch of the surface: flesh a rich salmon color. Medium- sized, and the whole crop is very even and extra heavy, owing to thickness of meat; no melons can equal it in this respect. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c.; lb., 60c. Montreal Market — Of large size, oval shape, shallow ribs, and sparsely covered with netting; flesh light green, sweet and of excellent flavor. Pkt, 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 60c. Emerald Oem—This is an excellent new Musk Melon of superior flavor and quality; the outside skin is an emerald green color and quite smooth; they ripen early and pro- duce well, being about the size of Golden Gem; the flesh is light red or salmon, very thick, juicy and crys- talline. Pkt, 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 75c.
