“Paul Rose,” or Petoskey Musk Melon
The fruits are nearly round or slightly oval, rather larger than Netted Gem, ribbed and heavily netted; of a light-green or faint golden hue when fully ripe. The flesh is thick, of rich deep orange color, and ripens close down to the rind, with small seed cavity. The bright salmon flesh is much firmer than that of our Emerald Gem. It is an excellent shipping variety of handsome appearance and good quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ¼ lb., 30c; lb., $1.00; by mail, postpaid.
