Milwaukee Market (Thomas Hybrid).
A remarkably fine variety, com-
bining more excellent qualities
than any other Melon. It is me-
dium in size, very attractive in
appearance, and ripens medium
early, and is very uniform in size.
The flesh is deep salmon, thick
and juicy, and possesses a rich,
aromatic flavor, sweet and lus-
cious to the rind. It is a vigorous
grower, producing abundantly and
every Melon is a good one. The
market gardener will find it a
most profitable variety, as it al-
ways commands a higher price on
the market than any other. Pkt.,
