An Aristocrat Among Cantaloupes 
There occasionally appears in nature some unusual and exceptional form of 
plant life whose traits force attention and demand recognition. Sometimes it may 
be a flower, whose unusual beauty enables it to assume at once a place of distinc¬ 
tion. Or it may be a plant whose fruit is so palatable that it is immediately 
placed in the category of aristocrats. 
Just such an unusual and exceptional individual has now appeared among 
cantaloupe varieties. Our newest introduction, the Globo de Oro is now perma¬ 
nently listed among the cantaloupe aristocrats. The years of development work 
behind the Globo are a guarantee that it is not a “Sport,” but that its merit is 
inbred and will remain permanently as a characteristic of the melon. 
THE SUCCESS OF THE GLOBO IN 1937. 
Those of you who have studied the cantaloupe markets during the past season 
will have noted the success of the Globo de Oro. The Globo was grown on a large 
scale in California and Colorado last season and while the market was purposely 
held limited in scope, its success was phenomenal. Specifically the Globo de Oro 
was able to command a price as much as $1.60 per crate more than the prices paid 
for other cantaloupes upon the same market. The demand for Globos was so great 
that it was possible for the growers to specify their own! conditions of sale. 
The Globo de Oro is a splendid shipping melon.
