Weaver Special 
92 days. In outward appearance it is of golden 
ivory color, which strangely seenns to permit you 
to see through the thin, tough rind and marvel at 
the beautiful reddish flesh within. When cut, a pleasant surprise awaits 
you—flesh smoother than any other cantaloupe—a delightful flavor all its 
own. Although jumbo in size the seed is held tightly in a very small cavity, 
with a depth of flesh rarely found in melons of its size. Should be picke^ 
as soon as full slip as it goes through a ripening process for five or six 
days after being picked at this stage. Eating qualities are better when 
the melons reach the market than when shipped. Packs 45 to the jumbo 
square crate and is fairly even in size and type for a new introduction. Is 
earlier than Honey Dew and can be grown as far north as Michigan and Ohio.

thick green flesh is very sweet and the flavor well liked: size about 5 
inches in diameter. Honey Ball keeps well and is an excellent shipper.
