“HONEY DEW” 
The Famous Melon 
? ^ "'i 
I" i 
This is a cross between the Rocky Ford Cantaloupe and a South 
Sea Island Casaba. It has retained all the best qualities of both 
and is better than either. The melon is nearly white, turning to 
lemon-yellow when ripening, and the average size is a little 
larger than that of a coconut. The flesh is light green, the 
juici^t and sweetest Muskmelon, and luscious in flavor. The 
rind is hard. It is good as soon as picked off the vine and will 
keep good for months if kept in a cool, dry place. It is, therefore 
a good shipper and a most splendid fruit to grow for the market. 
In the city markets, the Honey Dew sells at higher prices than 
any other melon. As a local melon, it advertises itself. The 
first one eaten creates a desire for more. Plant it in your home 
garden. It will afford you more pleasure than any other vege¬ 
table you have. Ripe fruits in 90 to 120 days, depending upon 
the season. Full-grown fruits that do not ripen on the vines 
before the fall frosts can be picked and will ripen in storage.
