get early crops, how to store vegetables for winter use, and many other things of interest. It is free. Ask

THE HONEY DEW MELON 
This melon, unknown a few years ago, is now offered on the menus of all Dining Cars, Hotels and 
Restaurants throughout the country. 
The flavor of the Honey Dew is so delicious and so entirely distinct that it has at once put this melon 
in a class by itself. 
The melon was produced by crossing the well-known Rocky Ford with an African melon. The result 
of this cross was then crossed with the Improved Hybird Cassaba and this produced a melon which re- 
tained the sweetness of the Rocky Ford, the delicious flavor of the African melon and the smooth hard 
shell of the Cassaba. 
The average size of the melon is six inches in diameter and seven to eight inches in length, weighs 
five to six pounds. The skin is smooth with an occasional net, and is a creamy yellow when ripe. The 
flesh is emerald green, very thick, melting, fine-grained, and can be eaten clear to the rind. The rind 
being hard, impervious to water and not easily bruised makes the Honey Dew an excellent shipper. 
The qualities mentioned above would alone make this a fine melon but the flavor of the Honey Dew 
puts it in a class by itself. The Honey Dew is as sweet as honey and has a delicious flavor all its own. 
This flavor seems to be a combination of many, among which are pineapple, banana and vanilla. 
The Honey Dew melons will be in big demand next season and will command the very highest prices.
