HONEYSWEET The fruits are very attractive, medium in size, 
oval shaped, slightly ribbed and finely netted. The outside 
color has a light silvery sheen, while flesh is green, resembling the 
Honey Dew. It has a small seed cavity and ripens well up to the 
rind. 
The main feature of this variety is that it can be grown in 
any section where the ordinary varieties can be grown and this is 
impossible with the Honey Dew. In our trial grounds this season 
the vines were vigorous and healthy, producing a good crop of 
fruits of excellent flavor. It is not extremely late, like the Persian 
and Honey Dew types; in season it matured a few days after the 
well-known Rocky Ford, which is considered an early sort.
