HONEY DEW NO. 60

This type of the Honey Dew 
has been developed for resist¬ 
ance to mildew. Its appearance 
is very much the same as that 
of the regular Honey Dew but 
the size averages somewhat 
smaller. The skin is somewhat 
roughened and the color is pure 
white. It is not desirable, in 
our opinion, except where the 
powdery mildew disease is se¬ 
rious.

HONEY BALL 
(Green Flesh) 
Size: 5 x 4J inches 
Weight: 3 pounds 
Edible in 105 days 
Principle use: Shipping 
Like the Honey Dew, from 
which it is derived, it keeps 
well and is an excellent ship¬ 
per. The other parent is Texas 
Cannon Ball. The melons are 
white with heavy netting and 
hard rind. The flesh is very 
thick, green in color and edible 
to the rind. Honey Ball has a 
sweet, spicy flavor somewhat 
similar to that of the early 
green fleshed muskmelons.
