BANANA--Attains a length of from eighteen inches to three feet three inches, and are from two to four inches thick. Flesh very thick, of a salmon color; flavor good.

The outside skin instead of being netted is deeply corrugated. They have the thickest flesh of any melon, with but a small seed cavity. Indeed, they might be said to be almost solid. When ripe the outside skin is of rich yellow, intermingled with light green. The flesh is a light green color, unusually spicy, melting and delicious. The delightful fragrance of this new melon is of a rich, aromatic pineapple flavor. But the most remarkable and valuable feature of this new melon is its wonderful keeping qualities. They do not ripen on the vines like other muskmelons, but have to be picked before hard frost and laid away in a cool, dry cellar, where they will keep sound and sweet for months. When wanted for use they must be brought into a warm room, where they will ripen up in a few days. They are hardy and very prolific. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 50c. [image] WINTER PINEAPPLE.
