Melogold 
The Most Popular White-Skinned Cantaloupe 

The name "Melogold,"’ derived by contracting the words of “melon of gold,’ aptly describes 
this cantaloupe. 
The Melogold is a white-skinned, pink-fleshed variety 
that has fine flavor and excellent shipping qualities. 
Picked vine-ripened, these melons will reach markets 
in good condition. In sizes it will run to even jumbo 
36's. The fruit is slightly and evenly netted and takes 
on a golden tint after ripening. The flesh is thick and 
unusually smooth in texture. The seed cavity is small 
and compact. About 95 days are required for maturing 
the Melogold. 
The Melogold is especially attractive in appearance, 
which, coupled with fine quality, has enabled it to bring 
premium prices on the market.

Mildew Resistant No. 8 
A Large, Hardy Cantaloupe 

The Mildew-Resistant No. 8 is a large melon that is particularly hardy and prolific. It is a salmon- 
fleshed melon, well netted, thick-fleshed, with a small seed cavity. It has a fine external appearance, 
and will average larger than the Hale's Best in size, but will not run to a single uniform type. The 
No. 8 matures in about 95 days. The quality of this melon is very good and it will stand considerable 
handling without breaking down. 
The No. 8 is not 100% resistant to mildew, but this will not affect its popularity in districts 
where mildew is not a factor. For a hardy melon, producing a heavy crop of large melons, we 
recommend the No. 8.

Mildew Resistant No. 1 
An Old Established Strain 
This Mildew-Resistant No. | is an old established variety and is not to be confused with the 
new Texas Resistant No. |. This No. | is a salmon-fleshed, well-netted oblong cantaloupe. The 
flesh is thick and sweet, and the cavity small and com- 
pact. The vines are vigorous and produce a large crop. 
The Mildew-Resistant No. | is distinguished from the 
No. 45 by two principal characteristics: it is slightly 
earlier and it produces larger melons. The No. | is a large 
cantaloupe, running in sizes from jumbo 36's to 27's. It is 
about a week later than the Hale's Best in maturing. 
We have a small but consistent demand for the No. | 
seed from growers who want a large, hardy, commercial 
cantaloupe. 
Prices postpaid: 
Ounce, 20c; '4 pound, 65c; '/% pound, $1.20; 
| pound, $2.00; 5 pounds, $8.80.
