To Every Customer for Musk Melon Seed we will send free, If asked for, our new pamphlet,

™— — HA CKENSA CKr
The most extensively grown of all Musk Melons. A reliable and bountiful ylelder.
Large, Handsome; Early. Flesb green, rich and sugary.
We were the first to distribute genorally throughout the country
the now famous Hackensack. This Ne-w Early is a selection or
improvement almost equal in size to the Hackensack, and at least
ten days earlier. Several years' thorough trial has proven it to be
the best as well as the earliest of all the netted melons. The melons
weigh from four to six pounds each. The skin is green and thickly
netted ; flesh alsoof light green of delicious flavor, rich and sugary.
It is also a luxuriant, healthy grower, and exceedingly productive.

"I tinil the vinns of Eiirly JInekrnsack rewiirk.ihly ht'ulthy, strong and rig-
orous, 'boklingtip' woiiiliTfully. I'lify are still gri'pn nliile other varieties are
all dead. They are the most prolific melons I have ever raised, the ground being
literally covered, and every specimen of fine size and shape. In quality they leave
nothing to he desired, every melon being fine-grained and pos.ie.-ising the same
sweet, delicious flavor. For vigor, productiveness and superb quality ibey stand
at the bead of the list of varieties 1 ha ve yet tried."

HENDERSON'S DELICIOUS
'^BANQUET"
Mll^K MELON.
This superb melon represents years of careful
selection and Improvement of a stock of Musk
Melon at the hands of the largest and most experi-
enced grower of melons in the world. The raiser
regards it as his greatest production and likely to
supersede all oti\erred-fleslied melons. The "Ban-
quet" is a medium-sized melon, flat at both ends
and more beautifully netted than any known variety.
In quality it has no equal ; the flesh is uniformly
deep and of that granulated character that always
indicates a good melon ; the color is a dark, rich
salmon. It will produce more fine edible melons
to a given aica than any other variety. (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S
LUSCIOUS
NEWPORT
MUSK
MELON.
The highest-flavored, most luscious greeo-fleshed variety grown, and remarkably early.
Every person who tastes our Newport Musk Melon goes into
ecstacies over its rich aromatic flavor, and it certainly is, we think,
the most delicious of all green-fleshed sorts, and as a class the
green-fleshed musk melons are more highly flavored than the red-
fleshed. The Newport is a very early melon, ripening with the
Jenny Lind, which it resembles and from which it originated. The
fruits are deep and almost round, with a dull green exterior, chang-
ing as they ripen to a rich golden color, evenly and closely netted.
The ribs are quite shallow. The flesh is of exquisite texture, rich
and melting clear to the rind. It is a bountiful yielder, though the
melons are not large, but for early family use, when delicious
quality is the desideratum, we cannot too highly eulogize Hender-
son's Newport. (See cut.) 10c. pkt.. 20c. oz., 40c. I4 lb., $1.25
lb.
"/ wish to add a few words of praise for your Newport Cantaloupes. They
are the best for quality and yield that I ever rai.sed, thev are so sweet and
refreshing." ALllEIiT WESiVEliVELT. Danville, Va.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
