MUSKMELON HOODOO OR HEARTS OF GOLD 
Our Hearts of Gold is the same strain as that used by growers in the Imperial Valley. The fact 
that these growers use our strain proves that it is the best strain to be had. 
Hoodoo is one of the most perfect orange fleshed muskmelons, highly blight resisting, of fine round form slightly 
larger than Rockyford, ripening about 5 days after Rockyford. Closely netted, exceptionally uniform in size so that there is 
hardly any loss from culls. Very solid, it has a very tough but thin skin and the flesh is sweet, fragrant and close to the 
skin. It is an ideal melon when it comes to crating it for shipment. The melons are one like the other, almost like peas in a 
pod. The flesh is free of stringiness, of deep pink color and the seed cavity extremely small. Hoodoo is way ahead of most 
other varieties in productiveness. Being very solid and tough skinned, it carries so well, that it can travel for two weeks 
without ice. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; lb. $1.00; 100 lbs. $9.00, prepaid.
