a little larger than the standard Rocky Ford. Well netted except 
a narrow stripe between shallow ribs; very firm and a good ship¬

distinctly flavored.

Suggestions to 
Shippers 
With all cantaloupes the customer develops an 
appetite and buys regularly if the melons are 
always good, but poor melons destroy the desire 
for melons and those who would be good buyers 
turn to peaches and other fruits instead. 
Don't pick cantaloupes green. 
Don't pick cantaloupes from rusted vines. 
Don't pick cantaloupes from aphis covered vines. 
Don't pack melons you would not buy to eat yourself if you were the 
customer. 
Don't buy cheap seed. Your crop costs about fifty dollars per acre, and 
often more, considering rental of land, before you begin to pick, and poor seed 
may cut the value of the crop in two and even more. Two to four dollars per 
acre for the best seeds is small compared with other costs. Buy the best seed.
