larger in size. Fruits oval, 6 ins. long, 4% ins. in 
diameter. Skin light golden yellow when ripe, with 
gray netting and distinct ribs, Flesh thick, bright 
green shading to light pink at center. Famous for

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 season to mature and if 
grown in a northern latitude it must be started 
indoors or in frames and transplanted outdoors at 
the proper time. Fruits are large, perfectly round, 
9 ins. long, 84% ins. in diameter. An excellent ship- 
per and keeper with skin smooth and a light cream
