3 GRAND NEW MELONS 
They have entirely different flavors, and belong to entirely different groups. They 
are as distinct as can be. All are delicious. That is the one reason we bring them to 
your attention. 
HONEY DEW 
MELON 
Hybrid Cassaba 
The Melon that took 
the Chicago market 
by storm. 
This absolutely new melon 
is a winner, and we offer it 
with great pleasure to our 
customers after having thor- 
oughly proven its merit at 
our Trial Grounds. 
Honey Dew is a medium 
sized melon, 5 to 6 pounds in 
weight, about 6 inches in di- 
noney d.w M.ion ameter and slightly oblong. 
The skin is smooth, with an occasional net. The color, while growing, is nearly white, 
and when ripe is a creamy yellow, sometimes a lemon yellow. 
Honey Dew has very thick flesh, light emerald green in color. It is fine grained, melting and delicious, 
and is good clear down to the rind. Sometimes the older Cassabas have a bland or cucumber flavor not 
enjoyed by many. Just to show you how hard it is to describe a flavor, look at the originator's description : 
"I named the melon Honey Dew. It is as sweet as honey and has the mingling of several flavors — pine- 
apple, banana and vanilla predominating." That's some flavor, isn't it? What we say is that it is delicious. 
The vines are strong growers and are productive. The melons slip from the vines when ripe, but 
may be picked just before they are ripe and stored in a cool place and then they will keep until 
Christmas. 
The originator's history of Honey Dew is given on page 33. Honey Dew brought the highest 
price in the market and netted the originator $2,400 per acre. Seed of Honey Dew Melon is worth 
Pkt. 15c; oz. 50c; y A lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00. 
MUSKMELON: Gold Lined Rocky Ford 
As the front cover shows, this melon is practically 
without ribs and is finely netted all over. It is the 
same shape as the famous Rocky Ford and originated 
in the same town. It will be another wonderful 
shipping melon. 
Gold Lined Rocky Ford has exceptionally sweet 
and delicious flesh of that rather high muskmelon 
flavor. It is light green and edged with orange at 
the center. The seed cavity is unusually small. It 
is truly an extra fine variety of the muskmelon flavor 
and desirable in every garden.
