Honey Ball Melon 

The vines of the Honey Ball are very prolific and seem to stand more dry 
weather than most other varieties; the melon in appearance is similar to the Honey 
Dew but is much smaller and more uniform in size, averaging about 5 inches in 
diameter, nearly round in shape and slightly netted; has a very thick flesh with 
a spicy flavor, to most people superior to the Honey Dew. 
It keeps well and is a good shipper. For distant markets, handles about the 
same as the Honey Dew. For home use and nearby markets, it should not be picked 
until it will slip from the vine; it is in best condition for eating when the rind will 
give under pressure of the thumb. It can be served in halves like cantaloupes. 
PRICE: Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 Ib. 35c; 1% Ib. 65c; 1 Ib. $1.25; 5 to 10 lbs. @ $1.10 per lb. 
10 to 25 lbs. @ $1.00 per lb.; 25 lbs. or more @ 90c per lb. Prepaid. 


Improved Pink Meat Cantaloupe 
(Also Known as Burrell Gem) 
This melon is large, averaging about 6 inches in length, tapering at the ends, 
4% to 5 inches in diameter, with well defined ribs, heavily netted, with a distinct 
stripe between. The flesh is a deep salmon color, very thick and fine-grained. It has 
a rich, spicy flavor excelled by none. The seed cavity is unusually small, which ac- 
counts for its superior shipping qualities. 
PRICE: Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 144 lb. 30c; % Ib. 55c; 1 lb. $1.10; 5 to 10 lbs. @ $1.00 per Ib.

Pearl Pink Cantaloupe 
(Also Known as Abbott’s Pearl) 
This melon is a favorite in many sections. The vines are hardy and vigorous. 
The shape is slightly oval, almost round. The color is a whitish-green. It shows no 
ribs and has a wide, coarse netting. The flesh is a deep salmon color to the rind, 
fine-grained and very firm. The seed cavity is extremely small, therefore it is one 
of the best keepers and an excellent shipping melon. 
PRICE: Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 lb. 30c; 1% Ib. 55c; 1 Ib. $1.10; 5 to 10 lbs. @ $1.00 per Ib.
