Weaver Special 
THE ORIGINAL WHITE-SKINNED PINK-FLESHED CANTALOUPE. 
Being the introducers of the Weaver Special, we can offer you some splendid 
selected stock of this variety. The Weaver Special is steadily growing in popularity, 
and considerable improvement has been made in the melon since its introduction. 
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 almost can see the rich orange interior flesh through the rind of the melon. 
It is slightly netted and though the melons run to jumbo 36 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. 
The Weaver Special has a tendency to crack in extremely wet weather, because 
of its solidity and high sugar content. We have, by selection, partly eliminated this 
tendency, and you will not find this fault as noticeable as when the melon was first 
introduced. , ,

Honey Dew 
A LARGE, WHITE-SKINNED, WINTER MELON. 
The Honey Dew is one of the old long established white-skinned, green-fleshed 
melons. It is one of the so-called winter melons, and can be kept for long periods, 
extending into the winter months. It requires a long growing season, which, of 
course, prevents its being grown in some of the cantaloupe sections. 
The outside color of the Honey Dew is ivory white, changing to a light cream 
color as it ripens. The rind is hard and smooth with no netting. The fruit is large, 
being about seven inches by eight inches in size. The flesh is green and has an ex¬ 
ceptional and distinctive sweetness. 
This melon makes a valuable addition to the growers’ plantings, enabling him to 
extend greatly the length of his melon season.
