E H Hunt seedsman E. H. Hunt : seedsman ehhuntseedsman1895hunt Year: 1895 4 E. H. HUNT. SEEDSMAN, CHICAGO, ILL1NIOS. 'HE illustration shows faithfully the general appearance of the Columbus Musk Melons. It originated with Mr. Anton Beck, of Oregon, Ills., and until the last two seasons was controlled entirely by him. The seed we offer is grown from the original stock, which was secured at high price. The color of the skin is a bright glossy yellow when fully ripe, and is covered by a thick whitish netting. The flesh is green, very deep, leaving only a small seed cavity. The quality is all that can be desired. During the season of 1893 many of our Chicago market gardeners made much money selling this melon to the World's Fair restaurants. At these restaurants the praise of its quality was universal; it was impossible to supply the large demand. Those of our customers who were fortunate enough to get a piece of the Columbus Melon, while at the Fair, know all about its delicious quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c.; K-lb., 40c; lb., $1. v
