A WHITE-SKINNED MELON INCREASING IN POPULARITY 
The Weaver Special is steadily increasing in popularity as its fine 
qualities become more generally known. 
1 1 'HE WEAVER SPECIAL is steadily growing in popularity and is taking a very 
1 prominent place in certain of the cantaloupe sections. 
Being the introducers of this melon we can offer you some splendid selected stock 
of this variety. Much improvement has been made in the melon since it was introduced 
in 1933. 
The Weaver Special is noted for its fine quality and smoothness of flesh. It is a 
white skinned melon with a golden tint that gives the impression of transparency, for 
one can almost see the rich orange interior flesh through the rind of the melon. It is 
slightly netted and though the melons run to jumbo 3 6 sizes, the cavity is small and 
compact. The Weaver Special can be vine ripened and still will hold up for several 
days after picking, as it goes through a ripening process extending through three or four 
days after being picked on a full slip. 
The Weaver Special has a tendency to crack in extremely wet weather, because of 
its solidity and high sugar content. By testing you can determine whether this cantaloupe 
is thus affected in your locality. If it is not, then we know that you will find the Weaver 
Special a splendid melon for you.

A “SMALL EDITION” OF THE HONEY DEW 
T HE HONEY BALL is a melon having the same sweet flavor, the same green colored 
flesh and white rind of the Honey Dew. The Honey Ball has been called a “small 
edition” of the Honey Dew. The fruit of the Honey Ball is small, usually meas¬ 
uring about five inches in diameter, is a white skinned melon with a slight netting. 
The Honey Ball produces its fruit in profusion, and the grower should exercise 
care in his planting lest he group the plants too closely together. Close planting and 
the natural prolificness of the Honey Ball might produce too small a melon. 
The sweetness of the green fleshed Honey Ball makes it unique among cantaloupes 
from the consumer’s viewpoint. Its long keeping and excellent shipping qualities make 
it a valuable melon from the grower’s viewpoint.
