Per pkt., 10c; oz., Mnskmelon—Newport Muskmelon—Perfection Delmonieo NEW MUSKMELON—PAUL ROSE This variety originated with one of the most success- ful melon growers of the country. The fruits are nearly round, or slightly oval, rather larger than the Netted Gem, from which it originated. The flesh is quite thick, of a deep, rich orange color, ripening close down to the rind, with deep seed cavities. We think it really has no equal as a market melon, and it is one of the very best sorts for the home garden Per pkt., 10c; oz., 20c. NEW MUSKMELON—PERFECTION DELMONICO This improved type is almost a perfect globe in shape; the skin is a peculiar grayish green until ripe, when it changes to a bright yellow; the flesh is a deep, rich orange yellow, and of a very line grain. It is of a delightful flavor, a strong, hardy grower; very pro- lific {see cut). Per pkt., 10c; oz., 20c.

The flesh is of a rich salmon color, seed cavity small; meat very thick and of an exquisite flavor, sweet, rich and melting. Per pkt., 10c; oz.,20c. NEW MUSKMELON—TIP TOP This is the best Muskmelon in cultivation,either large or small; for a sweet, juicy flavor it has no equal; the flesh is firm and edible to the outsi
