WHITE MELONS 
So many melons of the Honey Dew type have been introduced the 
past few years that shippers have designated this class as White 
Melons. First came Honey Dew (the green fleshed sort) from Africa. 
This was introduced into the Rocky Ford district by Mr. Ganger. A 
few years later we developed the golden fleshed Variety and then 
from Texas came the Honey Ball. All of these required a very long 
season, in fact, we experienced difficulty maturing seed here at 
Rocky Ford the first few years. Altitude here is over 4,000 feet, 
the nights cool and the season none too long for varieties which 
require long seasons in semi-tropical climates. 
The two new melons, Imperial Special (Weaver Special) and 
Golden Honeymoon, are only about one week later than Hale’s Best; 
early enough to be grown in most melon producing sections of the 
United States. 
LI nnav Rail 100 days. This melon brings excellent 
flullcy Dali iVlcllHl prices on the Eastern markets. It requires 
a very long - season and cannot be grown where seasons are shorter 
than here at Rocky Ford. This is a very delicious melon. It re¬ 
sembles a small Honey Dew but has a slight tendency to net. The 
thick green flesh is very sweet and the flavor well liked; size about 
5 inches in diameter. Honey Ball keeps well and is an excellent 
shipper.
