more, light green, striped and blotched with

HALBERT HONEY 
85 Days —A fine, large prolific melon second 
in popularity to the Kleckley’s Sweet and just 
as luscious and sweet in flavor. Splendid for 
home use and nearby markets, but like the 
Kleckley, will not stand long distance shipping.

ends, dark glossy green with fine veins. Rind 
tender; flesh rich red, extending clear* to the 
rind. Seeds white with black tips. 
IRISH GRAY

anywhere. It is quite productive, very sweet

shipping quality. Fruits large, 25 to 30 lbs., 
oblong, smooth, a distinct mottled greenish 
gray; rind tough and hard. Flesh bright red, 
firm and sweet. Seeds white.
