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. Gauger. 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 
Glow Honey Dew, are only about one week later than Hale's Best; 
early enough to be grown in most melon producing sections of the 
United States.
