Qveen of Colorado 
One of the Best Muskmelons 

The Queen of Colorado is a leading variety that won an “All America” 
selection award in 1939. It is a development from the Pride of Wisconsin, and is a 
cross between the Honey Rock and Hearts of Gold. It combines the thick, tough 
rind of the Honey Rock with the excellent eating qualities of the Hearts of Gold. 
The Queen of Colorado is a splendid melon for home and market gardens. The 
melons usually weigh about 5 pounds. The rind is hard and pearl gray in color, 
loosely netted, slightly ribbed and ripens to a yellowish shade. The flesh is unusually 
thick, a solid orange color and is solid without undue premature softening. The 
Queen of Colorado has become a favorite in the Central and Eastern states for 
a grower who wants a melon of the muskmelon type. Its superiority in flavor has 
created a demand for it from the buyers. 
We have a high quality strain of this seed that has been hand-selected and hand-cut. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 25c; '4 pound, 80c; '/2 pound, $1.50; | pound, $2.50; 5 pounds, $11.00.
