''Honey Dew''— the New Muskmelon 



Has the Sweetness of Honey and the Freshness of Morning Dew 



The original seed of this new Melon was secured 

 from a Melon shipped from Africa to New York City. 

 The seed was planted at Rocky Ford, Colo., and 

 crossed with the original, genuine Rocky Ford Canta- 

 loupe, producing a Melon unparalleled for its sweetness 

 of flavor. It is as sweet as honey and has the mingling 

 of several flavors, pineapple, banana and vanilla 

 - predominating. The average size of the melon is si.v 

 inches in diameter and seven to eight inches in length. Weight 

 averages eight to ten pounds. The skin is smooth and the 

 rind, though thin, is very tough and so close that the excellent 

 flesh is practically sealed up and is kept in good condition 

 for two or three months after the crop is gathered. The 

 late maturing ones may be kept until Christmas. It is a 

 creamy yellow when ripe. The flesh is an emerald green, 

 very thick, melting and very fine grained. It can be eaten 

 to the extreme rind. The seed cavity is very small. The 

 Melon does not shrink in weight, is not easily bruised and is 

 a splendid shipper. It is very prolific, yields at the rate of 

 from S.OOO to 10.000 melons per acre. The originator of 

 this wonderful Melon netted over S2,400 per acre.
