Your Honey Dew seed, bought from us, comes from just such 
Y - melons as these. These melons can be held for long periods after 
ie? picking, and the melon season thus extended into the winter months. 
HONEY BALL 
The Honey Ball is very similar in most respects to the Honey Dew, with the ex- 
ception of size. It has been called a “small edition” of the Honey Dew. The Honey Ball 
has a white, hard rind and a green flesh. It is a small round melon, usually measuring 
about 5 inches in diameter. The flesh is firm and very sweet. Being a winter melon, it 
has excellent keeping qualities and is a splendid shipper. 
Because the Honey Ball is very prolific, care should be taken in planting to see 
that the plants are not too closely grouped. Close planting and the natural prolificness 
of the Honey Ball might result in too small a melon. 
If you have never grown the Honey Ball then you have a unique experience 
ahead of you. We suggest that you try this long keeping, sweet winter melon.

MILDEW RESISTANT HONEY DEW 
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 of 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 distinctive 
Honey Dew flavor and quality. The flesh is green in color and sweet and thick. The 
vines are vigorous and hardy. We can recommend this melon.
