THE HONEY DEW MELON 



A New Introduction of the Most Delicious Quality. Can be Grown Successfully 



by Amateur Growers 



COLORADO has struck more gold. Seldom have we had such keen enjoyment 

 over the introduction of a novelty as in this instance. Honey Dew is unique as a 

 vegetable introduction. It is a melon nearly the size of a watermelon, having the 

 general characteristics of a muskmelon. Its flavor is absolutely superb. We know of 

 nothing which has ever tasted sweeter and richer in the whole range of vegetables. This 

 is a broad statement, but we mean every word of it. Any of our customers who had the 

 privilege of trying this melon on the fruit-stands this past season will agree with us. 

 (There were quite a number off^ered on the city markets.) 



Honey Dew is a melon about 12 inches long and 8 inches in diameter. (See illustra- 

 tion above.) The color of the outside is a pale green and the inside is a richer green. 

 The seeds are yellow. It is grown very much as any muskmelon. The nearest thing to 

 it that we know of is the Cassaba- — a melon which never could have very wide culti- 

 vation, because it could not be grown above frost line. Honey Dew is offered to us with 

 no quahfications as to its growing limits, and although we have not had an opportunity 

 to test it out here at Windermoor, we have confidence in the originator's statement 

 that it will mature anywhere in this country. Men who contemplate trying it on an 

 extensive scale would do well to write us for further information.
