Most handsome melons 
Halbert Honey * of truly superb quality— 
the very finest Melon in cultivation for home use or 
nearby market. It succeeds well and ripens early in 
all melon-growing sections, and has only the single 
drawback of a thin, brittle rind which will not 
withstand shipment on the cars. The vines are of 
strong, jhealthy growth and sets fruit freely. The 
melons are of cylindrical oblong form with smoothly 
rounded ends and free from any tendency to necks 
at the stem end. Ths first melons ripen early and 
the vines continue to develop fine fruit throughout 
the season, even the late fruits are of the same large 
size and regular form. ‘The melons are from 18 to 
20 inches in length with smooth dark green skin. 
The beautiful crimson flesh is of such sugary melt- 
ing consistency that it can only be fully appreciated 
by actual trial.
