the Rocky Ford. Very productive, uniform in

days ahead of Rocky Ford and larger in size. 
Fruits oval,.6 ins. long, 414 ins. in diameter.

netting and distinct ribs. Flesh thick, bright 
green shading to light pink at center. Famous 
for its sweet, juicy flavor. 
HONEY DEW 
112 Days—This fine melon is entirely distinct 
and has taken front rank at all produce stands 
where it is recognized, bought and served by 
name, “Honey Dew.” It requires a long sea- 
son to mature and if grown in a northern lat- 
itude it must be started indoors or in frames 
and transplanted outdoors at the proper time.

8177 ins. in diameter. An excellent shipper 
and keeper with skin smooth and a light © 
cream when ripe. Flesh light green, thick,
