ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 

Aouey Dew 
«K THE REGULAR HONEY Dew is one of the old estaylished winter melons, being introduced 
from Africa in 1911. It requires a long growing season, which prevents its being used in 
northern cantaloupe sections. 
The Honey Dew plant is vigorous, with coarse, heavy vines. The melons are large, 
weighing from five to seven pounds, and are nearly round. The rind is thin but hard, and is 
smooth with no netting. The skin color is ivory white, changing to a light cre¥m color as it 
ripens. The flesh is a light emerald green, and has an exceptional and distinctive sweetness. 
This winter melon is a valuable addition to your garden because of its long-keeping 
qualities and because of its distinctive flavor.

‘ ‘P P 2 pounds, $3.80; 5 pounds, $8.80; 10 pounds, $16.00. 

The Honey Dew is a winter melon and can be held for long periods after picking. 
Aouey Gall 
«K THE Honey BALL is very similar in most respects to the Honey Dew, with: the exception 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 five 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 arid 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.
