Halbert Honey-Sweetest of all Watermelons(No. 255) Sweet as the sweetest melon grown, but, as 
most all records are broken, in Halbert Honey has been produced a sweeter melon and one without strings in the flesh. No stringy pulp 
is left even after the largest bite of “heart”. This melon has been put through our tests and has been found a mighty good melon for 
home and nearby market use. It is the sweetest of all melons, and its delicious crimson red flesh extends nearly to the skin, the rind 
being very thin and brittle. It is more evenly shaped than Kleckley Sweet, as shown in the above illustration from a photograph, and 
the dark green skin makes it a very attractive melon. It is early, prolific and grows to rather large size. For the finest eating melon 
plant Halbert Honey. You will have the finest eating melons you have ever tasted and any surplus can be readily sold on local markets. 
Tile rind is not tough or thick enough for long distance shipping. Just grow them for all you can eat and sell locally. They are par- 
excellent, barring none. Packet, Ific; oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; pound, $1.50; postpaid. Not prepaid: 10 pounds or over, .$1.25 per pound.

ww CSCCI ■■■dWII II 1911 wltsy ^liUi £wvy gjg, variety is one that has attained great popularity on its merit. It’s
