AND SELECTION 
Melons leaver Special 
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 can almost see the rich orange interior 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 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 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.

The Weaver Special was the first of the white melons. We have made many 
improvements in this variety since its> introduction 
Jade Beauty 
The Jade Beauty makes an unusual combination of white skin and green flesh. 
While from this description of it as a green-fleshed, white-skinned cantaloupe, one 
might think it similar to the Honey Dew and Honey Ball it has no relation to these 
two older varieties. 
In recent years there has never been a strong demand for green-fleshed canta¬ 
loupes, but for those who prefer them, the Jade Beauty is a splendid melon. It is 
an average sized cantaloupe with unusually thick flesh and an exceptionally small 
cavity, offering a maximum of fine flavored flesh. The melons are heavy, round, and 
covered with a strong netting. 
If you want a green-fleshed cantaloupe for yourself or your trade, the Jade 
Beauty will meet your needs in every particular.
