ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED BREEDERS ASSN. 15 


Six-Three 
NTRODUCED two years ago the SIX-THREE has proven to be a valuable addition 
to the mid-season commercial melons. Past experience has shown the desirability of 
certain cantaloupe districts specializing in particular types of melons. Because this 
cantaloupe has certain distinctive characteristics, some districts now seem well on the 
way toward the adoption of this new Six-Three as its specialty, just as other sections 
specialize in the early Hale’s Best or in the distinctive White-seed Pink Pearl. 
The Six-Three is notable for the unusual vigor of its vine, for the close netting 
on the melon, and for the exceptional solidity and firmness of the flesh. a 
This is a dark-skinned, round melon running to standard thirty-six sizes, It 
belongs to the mid-season class of melons since it matures about a week later than 
the Hale’s Best. The Six-Three melons are firm and closely netted and hold up well 
under shipping conditions. There is no tendency of the flesh to break down when 
handled after being picked on a full slip. The vines are strong and vigorous, pro- 
ducing a large crop of quality melons. When placed on the market the firm texture 
and the fine flavor of the orange fleshed Six-Three makes for ready acceptance 
by the buyers. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 20c; 4 pound, 60c; 14 pound, $1.00; 1 pound, $1.75;

Close netting, even sizes, fine flavor are characteristic of the Six-Three. 
Superfecto 
‘THE SUPERFECTO is one of the best of the late-crop shipping melons, reach- 
ing maturity later in the season than the Hale’s Best. 
The Superfecto is a round, well-netted cantaloupe, with no ridges, giving it an 
attractive market appearance. Its orange flesh is deep and fine grained with a good 
flavor. The seed cavity is smaller than in most cantaloupes and is compactly filled. 
The Superfecto runs to the twelve jumbo flat pack in size, and the melons are very 
uniform. 
For the grower who wishes to extend his shipping season, we can recommend 
the Superfecto as one that will meet all his needs. The market gardener wil! also 
find the Superfecto a fine melon for his purpose. 
We are quoting a very attractive price on this variety.
