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 sur- 
passes, any of the other White Melons. Size fairly uniform, pack- 
ing mostly Jumbo 36’s.

; 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 deli- 
clous 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.

Weaver Special 92 days. In outward appearance it is of 
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 delight- 
ful 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.
