q DIN T. NEUSBAUN, an upper

big asset TO the FL Paso valley. It IS
known as the honey dew" melon and
is a hybrid made by a German in
Colorado by crossing the South Afri-
can sugar melon with the cantaloupe
and the casaba- It's Advantage lies
in the fact that Il produces from the
middle OF June until frost and that l.
can be kept FOR months and weeks
Another advantage lies in the fact
that IL IS picked when It is green and
can be shipped great distances
i can ship 10 Europe just as easily
as TO New York" asserts the grower.
You pick the melon like banana
he says. when il is green, then put IL
in some warm place and eat IL when IL
ripens- When il gets soft to the touch
like a banana, Il Is ready to eat
You can put 10 I'm q cool place in a
cellar and % Will keep like q potato.
I have been keeping mine since frost,
just by covering them with hay and
leaving them outside.

year and disposed OF two carloads
in Fl Paso, Las Cruces and Mesilia

''They are better 20 the taste than
