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 is 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 shipping 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 con- 
sumers. We have 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 varieties 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.
