ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 
GLOBO DE In the Globo de Oro we are offering you 
the finest of the white-skinned, orange- 
fleshed cantaloupes. Introduced in 1934, 
the Globo de Oro has proven itself to be a melon of superb quality for home, market 
or commercial purposes. 
The Globo is a nearly round melon, covered with a slight netting, and is golden 
in appearance when fully ripe. The cavity 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 sizes 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. 
With proper care in the maintaining of high standards in harvesting, the un- 
usual quality of the Globo de Oro will insure for it a premium price and repeated 
sales. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 15c; % pound, 45c: 2 pound, 80c: 1 pound, $1.50; 
5 pounds, $5.75: 10 pounds, $11.00. 
The Melogold is one of the 
leading white-skinned canta- 
loupes. This photograph 
strikingly illustrates the uni- 
formity of this melon, for 
you will note how like its 
neighbor is each of these 
cantaloupes. The quality of 
the Melogold is also uni- 
formly good. 
The Melogold name was derived by contracting the 
Mel OGOLD words “melon of gold’. These three words, “melon 
of gold’, aptly describe this cantaloupe, for it is 
golden in appearance and in value to the grower. 
The Melogold is a white-skinned, pink-fleshed variety that has a fine flavor and 
excellent shipping qualities. Picked vine-ripened these melons will reach the mar- 
kets in good condition. In sizes it will run to even jumbo thirty-sixes. The fruit is 
slightly and evenly netted and takes on a golden tint after ripening. The flesh is 
thick and unusually smooth in texture. The seed cavity is small and compact. — 
The Melogold is distinguished from the Globo de Oro in that it has a thinner 
and smoother rind. Both of these melons are of high quality, and we can recommend 
each of them equally. Your choice will depend upon your personal preference either 
for a rather smooth skinned melon or for a netted white-skinned cantaloupe.
