HONEY DEW 
A LONG-KEEPING WINTER MELON 
The regular Honey Dew is one of the old established 
winter melons. It requires a long growing period of about 
112 days. 
The Honey Dew plant is vigorous, with coarse, heavy 
vines. The melons are large, weighing from 5 to 7! 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 distinctive 
sweetness. 
The Honey Dew makes a valuable addition to your gar- 
den because. of its long-keeping qualities and its distinctive 
flavor. 
9. R. M0. 91 
The No. 91 is a comparatively new 
melon with a strong, vigorous vine. The 
fruits are oval in shape, covered with a 
close, heavy netting. The flesh is salmon 
colored and is deep and thick with a 
good flavor. The 91 is a good shipping 
melon. 
The unusual characteristic of the No. 
91 is its ability to withstand sulphur 
dusting. While sulphur will burn and 
cause other damage to most cantaloupe 
vines, the 91 will remain healthy and 
productive. This feature of this melon 
provides a means for control of powdery 
mildew. 
The No. 91 was developed particularly 
for planting in California, but proves of 
value in other districts interested in se- 
curing a variety with vigorous vine 
growth. 
HONEY BALL 
A PROLIFIC LITTLE GREEN-FLESHED MELON 
The Honey Ball is very similar in most 
respects to the Honey Dew with the ex- 
ception of size. It is a small melon, meas- 
uring about five inches in diameter. It 
has a white, hard rind and a green flesh. 
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 pro- 
lific, 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 re- 
sult in too small a melon. 
We suggest that you try this long- 
keeping, sweet, little winter melon.
