. HONEY HEW MELON This melon has only been on the market for a few years, and is unlike the ordinary muskmelon or canta- loupe both in appearance and flavor, the outer skin being smooth, hard and nearly white. The melons are large, round to oval in shape, extremely thick meated and have a very small seed cavity; flesh is light green, very solid and of a rich honey-like flavor, lucious and juicy, much more so than any variety of muskmelon.

HONEY HEW MELON This melon has only been on the market for a few years, and is unlike the ordinary muskmelon or canta- loupe both in appearance and flavor, the outer skin being smooth, hard and nearly white. The melons are large, round to oval in shape, extremely thick meated and have a very small seed cavity; flesh is light green, very solid and of a rich honey-like flavor, lucious and juicy, much more so than any variety of muskmelon. It is an excellent keeping melon and fruits may be laid away for use late in the fall when they will be greatly appreciated, not only for their delightful flavor, but be- cause the other varieties of melons are gone. On ac- count of the hard shell it is an excellent shipper, car- rying safely for long distances without being bruised or damaged in any manner. It is suitable for growing in all places of equal latitude in Philadelphia and the West, including California, but we do not recommend it for planting in the New England States, or locations where the growing season is short.

The melons are the same size as "Rockyford," the va- riety having been selected from that well-known melon, but specimens run more uniform as to size and shape, which is nearly round, and the skin is covered with a thick grayish netting, adding much to the ap- pearance of the melon. The flesh is green, with slight golden tint next to the seed cavity, and the flavor is delicious, being remarkably sweet and juicy. Vines are productive and melons mature early, making it desir- able both for the home garden and for shipping, as it is of a size and shape which is especially suited for crating.
