HONEY DEW MELON 
A LATE-MATURING VARIETY OF MELON THAT EXTENDS THE 
CANTALOUPE SEASON INTO THE WINTER MONTHS. 
The Honey Dew is decidedly different from other types of cantaloupes, and it 
meets a need that other melons cannot fill. This ivory-white type of melon prolongs 
the cantaloupe season into the winter months, for it will keep five to six weeks under 
proper care and conditions after all other cantaloupes are gone. 
A very sweet, emerald-green-fiesh, and a thick meat characterize this melon, which 
is considerably larger than the various varieties of cantaloupes. The rind is smooth 
and hard, with no netting, ivory-white in color, changing to a light golden when the 
melon is ripe. 
The demand for this late-maturing melon is very general, and we have a good 
supply of high quality hand-cut seed for you.

HONEY BALL CANTALOUPE 
A “SMALL EDITION” OF THE HONEY DEW MELON THAT WILL 
BRING A PREMIUM PRICE ON THE MARKETS. 
As its name implies, the Honey Ball is a very sweet, small cantaloupe. It resem¬ 
bles the Honey Dew, with the notable exception that the Honey Ball is slightly netted 
and very much smaller, being about five inches in diameter. 
The Honey Ball has the smooth ivory outer color, and the same green-flesh as the 
Honey Dew. The fruit of the Honey Ball grows in profusion, and care should be taken 
that the plants are not too closely grouped, otherwise the profusion of fruits and the 
closeness of the plants might result in too small a melon. 
The Honey Ball is an excellent shipper and is in much demand on the markets. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce 15c; *4 pound, 40c; */ 2 pound, 70c; 1 pound, $1.25;
