Burrell's Gem Muskmelon
Combines the flavor and shipping qualities of the RockyFord, but is orange fleshed. For a market where the orange-fleshed muskmelons are in demand, they bring much higher prices. It has a tough, thin rind, well arched ribs; covered with a closely laced and interlaced tray netting. Shape quite elongated. Flesh of a reddish-orange, very thick, fine grained and spicy. The melons average about 2 ¼ lbs., with an average size of 6 inches long, 4 ½ inches thick, and will crate more evenly than any other melon grown. Pkt. 4C; oz. 10C; 2 oz. 18C; ¼ lb. 30C; ½ lb. 55C; lb. 85c.
