Mel - O - Gold 
OUR NEW “MELON OF GOLD.” 
Growers who watch the market closely noted that during the past season 
there was a new melon upon the market which achieved considerable success in 
demanding a premium price. This newcomer was the “Mel-O-Gold.” 
This melon is a white-skinned, pink-fleshed variety that has fine flavor and 
good shipping qualities. Picked vine ripened in California the cantaloupes reach 
the Eastern markets in excellent condition. 
The Mel-O-Gold was a good success on the markets last season. 
The “Mel-O-Gold” is a round “melon of gold,” that runs to even jumbo 36 
sizes. The fruit is slightly but evenly netted and assumes a golden tint after 
ripening. The flesh is thick and unusually smooth in texture. The seed cavity is 
small and compact. 
Although the greatest success of this melon has been attained in the western 
cantaloupe districts, we suggest that growers in eastern United States give it a 
thorough and fair trial. Knowing the fine inherent qualities of the Mel-O-Gold, 
we believe we have made a valuable contribution to cantaloupe varieties, and we 
know that you will be pleased with the results of this melon.
