Weaver Special 
BEING the introducers of the WEAVER SPECIAL, we can offer you some splen- 
did 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.

A Honey Dew field ready for harvest. 
Mildew Resistant Honey Dew 
Bem) 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 distinc- 
tive 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.
