AN EARLY STRAIN OF THE WHITE-SKINNED MELONS 
TN THE WHITE KNIGHT we are offering an early white skinned cantaloupe. There 
A is a steadily growing demand for white-skinned melons, and the majority of those 
introduced and now in use are of the medium large kind. The White Knight is the only 
white skinned melon that matures early, ripening in about the same length of time as 
the better known Hales Best strains. 
The 'White Knight is the early white-skinned strain. 
♦ 
In addition to its carlincss, the White Knight has, of course, other features to recom¬ 
mend it. It is a thick fleshed, solid melon with a small cavity, making it a good shipping 
cantaloupe. It is a prolific strain, producing a heavy crop of marketable melons. The final 
test of a cantaloupe is in its eating qualities, for, of course, no cantaloupe is desirable if 
it is not edible. In this final test the White Knight has proven itself entirely satisfactory, 
for it is a well flavored melon. 
The White Knight is an oblong cantaloupe, running to jumbo sizes. The white 
skin is covered with a light netting. As it ripens the fruit takes on the orange tint of 
the flesh. The White Knight is solid and heavy. 
Since the cantaloupe growers in all sections will wish to keep abreast of the times, 
they will be planting more of the white-skinned varieties. No planting, however, will 
be complete without the inclusion of this early white-skinned melon—the White Knight.
