All Qur Cantaloupe Seed Is Hand-Cut 

THE HEARTS OF GOLD is a standard variety for the home and market gardener. 
It is a moderately small melon, running from standard 45’s to 36’s. It is nearly 
round, with a heavy close netting over the ribs but no netting over the furrows be- 
tween the ribs. The flesh is pink in color, thick and sweet. The cavity is medium to 
small in size. The vines are coarse, medium in size and dark green in color, produc- 
ing a prolific crop of melons in about 90 days. 
The Hearts of Gold is one of the best cantaloupes for the roadside stand and for 
nearby markets. Its excellent eating qualities and its striking appearance have made 
it a popular melon. 
We can offer a fine strain of Hearts of Gold seed. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 25c; 4 pound, 75¢; 2 pound, $1.35; 1 pound, $2.25; 
5 pounds, $9.90. 
AFTER our cantaloupe seed has 
been washed, it is placed on screen 
trays in the sun and allowed to 
dry. About 15 pounds of seed is 
placed on each tray and is stirred 
several times during the day to 
insure its drying thoroughly and 
evenly. In the dry, clear days that 
prevail during our harvest time, 
one day in the sun will dry the 
seed. The seed is left in the trays 
and placed in the warehouse, part 
of which is shown on the left of 
the photograph. The seed is cured 
out in the warehouse for about 
10 days before being sacked and 
taken to another warehouse for 
milling.
