HALBERT HONEY 

Often called the sweetest of all melons. In quality, Halbert’s Honey is simply 
wonderful, and of a rich fruity flavor. Entirely devoid of fibrous substances, the 
sweet flesh melts away in the mouth like so much honey, even after the largest 
bite of “heart.” This is surely a sweet melon, and its delicious crimson red flesh 
extends nearly to the skin, the rind being very thin and brittle. The melon is 
long in shape, and the dark green skin makes it very attractive. The hardy vines 
are remarkably prolific. It is quite early. The flesh is tender and luscious, extra 
sweet. The rind is not tough or thick enough for long distance shipping, but this 
is a prime favorite for local markets and home use. In good soil, will yield 
melons weighing 50 pounds.
