Banana Musk Melon
This variety gets its name on account of the long fruits having a banana-like aroma. The fruits are from fifteen to twenty inches in length, and from four to six inches in diameter. The salmon flesh is thick and of a delicious flavor. It is difficult to get true stock of this variety, therefore we sell seed only of our own growing at Sunnybrook. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; ¼ lb., 60c.

Banana Musk Melon
This curious sort is greatly liked. The melons attain a length of three feet, and are two to four inches thick. The flavor is very good and is surely an attractive and curious variety. With the exception of the Emerald Green we think it the best of all melons. It is exceedingly fragrant when ripe, and will perfume a whole house. Its flesh and flavor reminds one of a fine banana. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c.
