HEARTS OF GOLD 
The Hearts of Gold is a midseason variety, maturing a few days later than the 
Hale’s Best. We offer the improved strain of this variety, which is a nearly globe 
shaped, firm melon with a fine flavored, pink meated flesh. The fruits are moderately 
small, distinctly ribbed, and well netted except for the narrow furrows between the 
ribs. The flesh if firm with a fine texture and sweet spicy flavor. While the Hearts 
of Gold is not a commercial melon in the usual sense of the word, it will stand ship- 
ment for short distances. 
The Hearts of Gold is now a standard variety for the market gardener and is 
well known in all Mid-west and Eastern markets. The striking appearance of these 
melons makes an instant appeal to the buyer, and the fine flavor keeps its friends 
among the cantaloupe consumers. We have a carefully selected stock of the Hearts 
of Gold, and we believe its high quality will give you a melon that should certainly 
be present in your cantaloupe fields this season. 
It is apparent at the time of the preparation of this catalog that there will be 
shortages of seed of some varities of cantaloupes. The Hearts of Gold is one of these 
that will be short this season. It is our suggestion that your order be placed as early 
as possible so that you may be sure of securing some of this seed. The stock that we 
are offering has been grown and harvested by ourselves, and we can assure you of 
its high quality and its purity.
