Hardy Ridge, or Prescott Melon Melon
Probably not one person in a hundred seeing the Hardy Ridge when growing would take it for a melon. Nevertheless it is a melon, and one of the very best quality, too. A very popular variety in the markets of London and Paris, the wonder is it has not before this been introduced into the United States. It is prolific, grows to a very large size, is of excellent quality, while it is by far the thickest-meated of all melons, being, in fact, very nearly solid and having but very few seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c.
