Miller's Cream Nutmeg Melon
This melon was originated by Mr. John D. Miller of Elmyra, NY., in the year 1878 it being doubtless the result of cross between Sill Hybrid and Casaba. It has a very thick flesh the seed cavity being very small, is of a salmon color and melting in quality. The rind is thin and of a green color. The vine itself is a strong grower and is very productive the ground being covered with fruit. In my experimental ground of 1882 no variety surpassed it. Pkt., 15c; oz., 35c.
Originally listed in: James J.H. Gregory's 1885 Retail Catalogue
