 • samples, av. 9.4 per cent; and seeds, 8 samples, av. 15.9 per cent.

« Many of the analyses of pulp included in this average are based on samples with low sugar and total 

 •ollds as compared with the California cantaloupes, and Honeydew and Cassaba melons. Of these three 

 types, 24 samples of pulp: Water, av. 90.7 per cent; max. 94.5 per cent; min. 87.5 per cent: Total sugars, av. 

 7.8 per cent: max. 11.3 per cent; min. 3.8 per cent. Percentages "as purchased" are calculated from the 

 •verage of tne edible portion of all varieties. 



lt Cantaloupe, rind and contents of cavity, 35 samples (Eden Gem and Early Waters), max. 71 per cent; 

 min. 41 per cent; P. E. 3.9 per cent. 



** Honeydew melon, rind and contents of cavity, 3 samples, max. 37 per cent; min. 26 per cent. 



* Spanish melon, refuse, 2 samples, 37 and 23 per cent.
