“The A/ew White-/tinned Watiettj 
W/E OFFERED to you, last year, for the first time, the Globo de Oro, presenting 
it with complete assurance as the finest white-skinned melon yet developed. Our 
years of development work on this cantaloupe has satisfied us as to its worth. Last season 
its performance on a commercial scale justified our faith in this new variety. 
POSSIBILITIES OF A WHITE-SKINNED CANTALOUPE 
For several years we have been interested in the possibilities of producing a white- 
skinned cantaloupe that would be of universal appeal. In the Globo de Oro we have 
produced a melon of unusual beauty and quality combined with prolificness and vigor of 
vine and one that is a superior shipping melon. All these features lead us to believe that 
we have in the Globo de Oro a cantaloupe that will have universal appeal. Years of 
careful selection have been necessary in order to reach the stage of perfection now held 
by the Globo. We were resolved that before this melon was introduced that it must 
merit the grower's attention, that it must perform as advertised and that it must be better 
than any other white-skinned melon on the market. 
EXPERIENCES WITH THE GLOBO DE ORO 
The Globo de Oro was grown on a large scale in California last year, although 
small acreages were planted in practically every important cantaloupe growing section. 
In California the Globo de Oro proved its worth in every particular. The yields were 
very satisfactory, the quality excellent, and the price on the eastern markets was 25c 
higher than the prevailing cantaloupe prices. It was possible to receive this higher price 
for the Globos because of their quality which was so excellent as to bring the customer 
back for more and making him willing to pay the addition in price in order to get 
the melon. 
The Globo de Oro made a real success upon the markets last 
season. Watch this cantaloupe in the future.
