GL 080 DE O 0 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 unusual quality of the 
Globo de Oro will insure for it a premium price 
and repeated sales. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 15c; 1% pound, 45c; 1/2 pound, 80c; 
1 pound, $1.50; 5 pounds, $5.75; 10 pounds, $11.00.

L The Old Ironsides is all that its name im- 
D IRONSIDES plies—a solid firm melon that holds its 
firmness and quality over a long period 
after being picked on a full slip. It is a white-skinned, orange-fleshed cantaloupe, 
obling in shape with a heavy distinctive netting. Old Ironsides is a melon with a 
smooth, sweet flesh of exceptional quality. 
For several years the white-skinned, orange-fleshed melons have been gaining 
in popularity and have practically displaced the white-skinned, green-fleshed melons 
on the markets. There has been one feature, however, that has prevented their full 
success in some districts. This is the tendency to crack in wet weather that has char- 
acterized most white-skinned melons. Because of the high sugar content of this type, 
this cracking is difficult to overcome, but in Old Ironsides we have made considerable 
progress in this direction. The high sugar content has been retained, but with the 
tough rind and heavy net we have eliminated the tendency to crack in wet weather. 
The Old Ironsides is a new introduction that is worthy of a trial in your gardens.
