Melons derived from Honey Dew a 
White Melons 
* So many melons of the Honey Dew type have been introduced the 
past few years that shippers have designated this class as White 
Melons. Included in this class are Honey Dew Green 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. 
92 days. We consider this to be the best new 
Globe of Gold development in White Melons. It is a selec- 
tion 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. 
(Pkt., 5c) (0z., 10c) (% Ib., 30c) (Ib., 90c) (5 Ibs., $4.00) prepaid 
105 days. This melon brings excellent prices on 
Honey Ball the Eastern 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) (% Ib., 35c) (ib., $1.20) (5 Ibs., $5.25) prepaid 
s 92 days. In outward appearance it is of 
Weaver Special 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 surprise 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.
