50 Barclay Street, NEW YORK 



Drugs act. Among the geographical 

 names which have been under consider- 

 ation are Rocky Ford as applied to can- 

 taloupes and Indian River as applied 

 to oranges. 



"The Rocky Ford melon ii^%ot a new 

 variety of melon, but is one of the older 

 varieties of melons, which in the environ- 

 ment of Rocky Ford, Colo., has at- 

 tained particular excellence. 



"The same remark applies to the In- 

 dian River oranges of Florida. They 



are not a new variety, but various varie- 

 ties which in the environment of the 

 Indian river have attained unusual ex- 

 cellence. 



"The board holds that the terms 

 Rocky Ford and Indian River have not 

 become sufficiently generic to indicate 

 styles, types, or brands of melons and 

 oranges, respectively, but that these geo- 

 graphical names are only properly ap- 

 plied to the product of the restricted 

 area for the melons which are grown m 



or near Rocky Ford, and for the product 

 grown in or near the Indian river. In- 

 asmuch as the term Rocky Ford has 

 thus become associated with a melon of 

 peculiar excellence of a certain geograph- 

 ical locality, the board holds that it is 

 unlawful to sell in interstate commerce 

 melons not grown in the Rocky Ford dis- 

 trict as Rocky Ford Seed melons. The 

 terms are nearly alike, the intent is to de- 

 ceive, and the law provides that a label 

 should not be-^ false or deceptive in anv 

 particular. " , *
