Melons Derived from Honey Dew. 
Days to Maturity, See Page 2. 
Market Growers' Prices, Page 100. 
So many melons of the Honey Dew type have been introduced the post 
few years that shippers have designated this class as White Melons. In¬ 
cluded in this class are Honey Dew Green Fleshed. Honey Dew Golden 
Fleshed, Honey Ball. Weaver Special, Golden Glow Honey Dew and the 
new Globe of Gold. These melons do best in semi-arid climates and under 
irrigation. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR GROWING WHERE THERE IS TOO 
MUCH RAINFALL. If not already successfully grown in your district, we 
suggest that you make trial plantings to determine their fitness for production 
under your growing conditions. 
Globe of Gold. 
Globe of Gold 
92 days. We consider this to be the best new devel¬ 
opment in White Melons. It is a selection from 
■ Weaver Special. Globe in shape, very thick fleshed. 
Skin golden in appearance covered with a slight netting. Seed cavity small. 
Flesh orange colored and it equals in flavor, if not surpasses, any of the other 
White Melons. Size fairly uniform, packing mostly Jumbo 36’s.

days. A good true stbck of the 
Vjroiueil VjriOW Xioney l-^ew melon introduced as Golden Honey- 
■ moon. Flesh is very thick, green 
and much like that of Honey Dew, although many prefer it. One of the most 
beautiful melons on the market and its rich golden color causes ready sale at 
higher prices. Earlier than Honey Dew and withstands heat better. Rind 
turns yellow when two-thirds grown. Do not pick until they slip from the 
vine with slight pressure.

Honey Ball 
105 days. This melon brings excellent prices on the East¬ 
ern markets. It cannot be grown where seasons are 
shorter than here at Rocky Ford. This is a very delicious 
melon. It resembles a small Honey Dew but has a slight tendency to net. 
The 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. 
(Pkt., 5c) (oz., 15c) (% lb., 35c) (lb., fl.lO) (5 lbs., $4.85) prepaid. 
Weaver Spedal 
92 days. In outward appearance it is of golden 
ivory color, which strangely seems to permit you 
to see through the thin, tough rind and marvel at 
the beautiful reddish, flesh within. When cut, a pleasant surpri.se 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 picked as soon as 
full slip as it goes through a ripening process for five or six days after being 
picked at this stage.
