Honey Dew . 
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 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 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.
