Six-Three 
This year, for the first time, we are offering this new melon, known as the 
“Six-Three.” 
For thirty years we have been working toward a goal, of better melons. It is 
obviously true that the perfect melon will never be grown, but it is possible, by 
constant care and labor, to make improvements in our cantaloupes. Being 
specialists in cantaloupe seed production, this has been our aim. 
At all times throughout the past thirty years we have made it our policy never 
to introduce a new cantaloupe as an improvement over existing varieties until by 
long trial we were satisfied that the melon was a real improvement 
This policy applies to the new “6-3” introduced this year. Because of our tests 
of this melon we know that it is really an improved variety. While we realize that 
it, like all other cantaloupes, is not perfect, it nevertheless has proven worthy of 
our stamp of approval. 
The “Six-Three” is a distinct new variety, not directly related to existing 
varieties of commercial melons. 
The “6-3” is a dark skinned cantaloupe of standard 36 size, maturing about a 
week later than the Hale’s Best. It is not one of the existing mildew resistant 
strains of melons, but is one that is partially resistant to this disease. Its strong 
vitality recommends it to the grower, as it produces a large crop of fine quality 
fruit. This melon is almost round with a distinctive close netting. The flesh is 
orange colored with a firm fine texture. The “6-3” is a splendid shipper and shows 
no tendency to break down and become “watery.” Its even sizes, its prolificness, 
its shipping qualities and its fine flavor indicate that the “Six-Three” will be an 
important addition to commercial melons.
