heavy netting and fairly distinct ribbing. Flesh exceptionally thick and

and more uniform; fruit round, with tendency to heart-shape, lightly 
ribbed and covered with a fine gray netting; flesh very thick, deep sal¬ 
mon color, and of high quality; a good shipping melon. 
Honey Dew (Antibes).Mediasure 
A distinct melon of the Cassaba type. Fruit large ovoid in form, about 
10 inches long and 8 inches in diameter; surface smooth and hard with¬ 
out ribbing or netting, creamy white in color, turning to a lemon tint 
when fully ripe; flesh light emerald green, very thick, ripening to the 
rind, very tender and melting, with an extreme sweetness found in no 
other melon. 
Honey Rock 
Honey Rock (or Sugar Rock).Mediarock 
A new melon originating in Indiana and acquiring immediate popularity 
on account of high quality. Of medium size with a gray-green skin mod¬ 
erately covered with a heavy, coarse netting; rich salmon flesh.

A netted type of Tip Top, and a most excellent main crop sort. Fruit 
large, gray-green in color, round, flattened at the ends, distinctly ribbed 
and well netted; flesh very thick, deep salmon color, and of the highest 
quality; a fine market melon. 
Jenny Lind .Medical 
An extra early, small, green-fleshed melon; fruit round and flattened at 
the ends, but showing a decided “button” at blossom end; deeply ribbed 
and heavily netted.
