New Spicy Cantaloupe Muskmelon
Sweet as honey. This grand new cantaloupe is very prolific, always making a strong growth, and produces an abundance of handsome melons, averaging from 8 to 10 inches long by about 6 inches in diameter. They are very solid and the seed cavity is unusually small. The flesh is salmon color, about 2 inches thick, always of superb quality far superior to nearly all other cantaloupes. The flesh is entirely stringless; maintains its sweetness close to the rim. On account of the very small seed cavity, the melons are always solid and heavy, the rim being cream color, which changes nearly yellow as the melon matures and there is also a peculiar netting which appears irregularly upon the smooth skin as shown by the illustration. Pkt. 5C; oz. 35c.
