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 
• j l ross was then crossed with the Improved Hybrid Casaba, 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 Casaba. • . . , 
The average size of the melon is six inches in diameter, and seven to eight inches in length, weighs 
five to six pounds. The skm 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 Hoftey Dew an excellent shipper. 
the qualities mentioned- above would alone make this a fine melon, but the flavor of the Honey Dew 
puts it m a class; by itself. The Honey Dew is as sweet as honey, and has a delicious flavor all its own. 
I his flavor seems to be a combination of many, among which are pineapple, banana and vanilla.
