Maule's Honey Muskmelon
Named “Honey” on account of its sweet and delicious flavor. Its exterior color is a peculiar shade of green, quite unlike any other muskmelon. The flesh is green, inclining to yellow. The spicy flavor is as distinct and characteristic as it is sweet and pleasing. The flesh is both deep and firm, the edible portion almost touching the rind; remarkably juicy and retains its color and quality quite to the outer shell. Melons of medium size, weighing 3 to 4 pounds on an average. It is distinctly and evenly ribbed, and moderately netted. Globe shape and somewhat flattened at the stem and blossom end. Pkt. 5C; oz. 12C; 2 oz. 20C; ¼ lb. 35c.
