The green meated Honey Dew 
which very likely is of Afri¬ 
can origin is one of the parents 
from which all of the white 
melons have been derived. 
Many crosses and selections 
have been made in recent 
years but few of them have 
proven highly desirable for an 
appreciable length of time. 
Honey Dew requires a long 
growing season and does not 
thrive in some parts of Amer¬ 
ica; it is, however, a delicious 
variety. The outside color is 
white with some net, ripening 
to a light cream color. Tho 
rind is smooth and hard, suit¬ 
able for long distance ship¬ 
ping, and with excellent keep¬ 
ing qualities. The thick green 
flesh is sweet and tender.
