Globo dc Oro 'kJhde 
The Globo de Oro continues to be the leading white-skinned, orange-fleshed 
variety of cantaloupes. It continues to command a premium price upon the mar¬ 
kets. Hence, we feel a justifiable pride in having developed and introduced the 
Globo de Oro. 
This cantaloupe aristocrat was introduced to the growers in 1935 and only a 
limited amount of the Globo seed has been placed on the market each year since its 
introduction. This limitation on the sale of Globo seed was necessary to prevent a 
flooding of the markets with the new variety which would result in a slump in the 
prices received for the melons. 
Careful attention and some experience are necessary to the successful growing 
and harvesting of the Globo de Oro. The grower must be conscientious in his work of 
harvesting to prevent putting melons on the market which will not meet the standards. 
It is the quality of the Globo de Oro that is its outstanding feature. Its flavor 
is unexcelled and it is a splendid shipper. The Globo is a nearly round melon, cov¬ 
ered with a slight netting, and is golden in appearance when fully ripe. The cavity 
Globo de Oro—the leader among the white-skinned melons 
of the melon is very small, and the thick flesh is orange colored and edible to the 
rind. The vines are hardy, vigorous, and yield heavily over a long period. In size 
the Globo runs to the jumbo thirty-six, with a few of the twenty-seven pack. It is 
a medium late melon, midway between the Hale's Best and the Honey Dew. 
We can recommend the Globo as the finest of the white skinned cantaloupes.

★ The nomenclature of cantaloupes has been undergoing a considerable change during the past few 
years. The use of the word “cantaloupe” has grown ; and has been accepted to designate the commer¬ 
cial melons developed in the past quarter of a century as distinguished from the older muskmelon types 
that were generally unsuited for shipment. In the past few years white skinned melons have been de¬ 
veloped to the point of importance in the cantaloupe trade. The term “white melons” is now rather 
generally used to distinguish these cantaloupes. Although the distinction has not yet been generally 
made, the term “white melons” is most applied to the white skinned melons of the cantaloupe type. 
The other white skinned melons are generally referred to as “winter melons.” 
We are listing on this page three important “white melons.” These cantaloupes take no longer 
growing season than other cantaloupes. Experience, however, has shown that these melons do best 
in semi-arid regions, for they have a tendency to crack when there is too much rainfall. Intensive 
selective work has been done to eliminate this feature with considerable success. The Globo, in par¬ 
ticular, now has a thick rind and will not crack as badly as other “white melons.” 
If you have not grown “white melons,” we believe that you are in for a pleasant treat if you 
plant them this season. We suggest that you plant a trial patch.
