ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED ——— 
WEAVER SPECIAL 
Being the introducers of the Weaver Special, we can offer you some splendid 
selected stock of this variety. Since its introduction it has become noted for its fine 
quality and smoothness of flesh. 
The Weaver Special is a white-skinned melon with a thin, tough rind. When ripe 
it has a golden color tinted with the rich orange of the flesh. Slightly netted, the melons 
run to jumbo thirty-six size. The cavity is small and compact, giving a solid firm 
melon. The Weaver Special can be vine-ripened and still hold up for several days 
after picking, as it goes through a ripening process of three or four days after picking 
on a full slip. 
The Weaver Special has a tendency to crack in extremely wet weather, because 
of its solidity and high sugar content. By selection, we have partly eliminated this 
tendency and you will not find this fault as noticeable as when the melon was first 
introduced. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce 15c; 1% pound, 40c: 2 pound, 70c: 1 pound, $1.25; 
2 pounds, $2.40; 5 pounds, $5.15; 10 pounds, $10.00. 
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 relationship with 
these two older varieties. 
The Jade Beauty 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. 
Maturing in about 100 days, this bright green fleshed melon will exactly meet the 
needs of those who prefer the green fleshed cantaloupes. 
Reports from experimental stations have been highly complimentary to the Jade 
Beauty, and we can recommend it to you. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 15c: % pound, 40c; 2 pound, 70c; 1 pound, $1.25;

Not many green-fleshed can- 
taloupes are offered to the 
growers nowadays, but, if 
you prefer the old-fashioned 
green fleshed melons, you will 
find the Jade Beauty one of 
the best on the market.
