AND SELECTION 
Honey Dew 
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. 
The melon makes a valuable addition to the growers’ plantings, enabling him to 
extend greatly the length of his melon season.

Mildew Resistant Honey Hew 
The Mildew Resistant Honey Dew was developed primarily for planting in 
southern California where the infestation of mildew has become a problem for the 
growers. We can, however, recommend this type Honey Dew for other districts 
where a particularly hardy type of melon is wanted. 
The Mildew Resistant Honey Dew is only slightly smaller than the regular 
Honey Dew and is more nearly round. The melons are unnetted, and ivory white in 
color, changing to golden when ripe. The mildew resistant type retains the dis¬ 
tinctive Honey Dew flavor and quality. The flesh is green in color, sweet and thick. 
The vines are vigorous and hardy. We can recommend this melon.
