AN EARLY, WHITE-SKINNED CANTALOUPE. 
The White Knight is an early white-skinned cantaloupe. Other white-skinned 
melons now on the market are of the medium to late varieties, and we felt that 
there was a need for an early melon of this kind. The White Knight is the result, 
being the only white-skinned melon that matures early. Its maturity dates are 
about the same as the well known early Hale's Best strains. 
The White Knight is an oblong cantaloupe, running to jumbo sizes. The white 
skin is covered with a light netting, and as it ripens the melon takes on the orange 
tint of the flesh. The flesh itself is thick and fine grained and of good flavor. The 
melon is heavy, solid and has a small cavity well filled with the seed. The White 
Knight produces a heavy crop of uniform melons, and it is well suited for either 
commercial or local market purposes. 
With the increased success that has attended the white-skinned melons, more 
and more of them will be grown in the coming seasons. We believe that it will 
be advantageous to you if you intend to plant some white melons, to have part of 
your acreage in the White Knight. The earliness of the White Knight will enable 
you to commence your sales earlier in the season.
