name 
WEAVER SPECIAL was an “All-American” winner for 1935, entered under the 
of “Sunkist,” and is identical with “Imperial Special.” 
This melon makes a strong, vigorous vine growth and is very prolific. Con¬ 
sidering the short time since its introduction, it runs fairly uniform in size and 
shape, varying from round to oblong, with but few unmarketable melons. The rind 
is of a golden color, the light netting similar to that of the Honey Ball and also has 
the small solid seed cavity of that variety. The flesh is a solid reddish color to the 
rind which color often shows through the rind. The flesh is firm, the flavor is ex¬ 
cellent, between that of the cantaloupe and the Honey Ball. 
If picked as soon as it will slip from the stem and handled with care it will 
carry in good condition to the most distant markets. If picked and handled properly 
it is in prime condition for eating a week after it is picked. 
It resembles the Honey Ball so closely (except in color of flesh) that it could 
easily be classified as a pink-meated Honey Ball.
