We highly recommend this variety, not only for forcing, but also for open ground culture.

We highly recommend this variety, not only for forcing, but also for open ground culture. This new sort is a strain of remarkable, perfection of finest form, and dark green color- THE MELROSE MUSKMELON. THE MELROSE MUSKMELON— This now melon is a very hardy, strong, and vigorous grower, the vines remaining green longer than any other variety. The melons are produced abundantly, and very close to tho hill. The color is rich, dark green; the shape is oval, as shown in the illustration. The melons averago in weight about four pounds, and are finely and densely nettedt showing but slight tendency to rib; the form is remarkably perfect and true; all in-all, the handsomest and most 6howy of all melons. Tho flesh is very thick and solid; clear, light green in color, shading to a rich salmon at the seed cavity. In flavor this, The Melrose, cannot be equaled by any other variety, and carries its superior quality and sweetness to tho extreme edge of the skin. It is about one week later in ripening than Jenny Lind, and it can be said of this 6uperb new variety that it will produce more good, salable melons, "hold up" longer, stand more hand- ling and rough usage than any other known, thus making it tho best and most desirable, either for home or market purposes- .FOR PRICES SEE PAGES 54 TO Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Nebraska Seed Co; Henry G.
