^ days. In outward appearance it is of golden 
VY caver OpeClal ivory color, which strangely seems to permit 
you to see through the thin, tough rind and marvel at the beautiful 
reddish flesh within. When cut, a pleasant surprise awaits you— 
flesh smoother than any other cantaloupe—a delightful flavor all its 
own. Although jumbo in size the seed is held tightly in a very 
small cavity, with a depth of flesh rarely found in melons of its size. 
Should be picked as soon as full slip as it goes through a ripening 
process for five or six days after being picked at this stage. Eating 
qualities are better when the melons reach the market than when 
shipped. Packs 45 to the jumbo square crate and is fairly even in 
size and type for a new introduction. Is earlier than Honey Dew 
and can be grown as far north as Michigan and Ohio.

stock of the melon intro¬ 
duced as Golden Honey¬ 
moon. Flesh is very thick, 
green and much like that 
of Honey Dew although 
many prefer it. One of 
the most beautiful melons 
on the market and its 
rich golden color causes 
ready sale at higher 
prices. Earlier than Honey 
Dew and withstands heat 
better. Rind turns yellow 
when two-thirds grown. 
Do not pick until they 
slip from the vine with 
slight pressure. We think 
it a decided improvement 
over Honey Dew.

From Branchville, S. Car. Allow me to say that all of the planters 
of the Weaver Special were well pleased. 
In fact this variety is bringing much of a 
premium on the market.
