Smith’s Perfect or Yellow Dew Dessert Melon 
SMITH’S PERFECT OR YELLOW DEW DESSERT 
MELON. (New) (90 days.) At last we have found in 
this dessert melon, which was originated in the West Indies 
and developed in Florida, a variety that possesses about 
everything desired for Florida growing conditions. A good 
vigorous grower, disease-resistant, especially to downy mildew 
commonly called blight, also resistant to aphids, and a very 
good commercial type, making medium size ( averaging about 
four pounds each) fruits, very heavy for their size, perfectly 
round in shape, covered with a uniform fine netting, free of 
ribbing, with a thick rind, making it an ideal shipper and 
market melon. The fruits have a greenish rind, which upon 
ripening turns to a beautiful greenish-yellow. As the fruits 
ripen they produce a delicious melon odor. The flesh is very 
thick, of attractive deep orange color, which has a most de- 
licious flavor. An ideal melon for the Florida home garden, 
for local market and for shipment to distant markets.
