Honey Dow 
THE REGULAR Honey Dew is one of the old established 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 cream 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.

A smooth, hard rind and sweet, green flesh distinguish this winter melon, the Honey Dew. 
Honey Ball | 
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 keep- 
ing 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 and 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.
