CASABA, GOLDEN HYBRID 
A&M CASABAS 
Culture— 2 oz. to 100-foot row; 1 lb. per acre. 
Plant 34-inch deep. In general the culture for 
casabas is the same as for melon. Plant ca- 
sabas according to locality, from February 15 
until June 15, in furrows 8 feet apart. For late 
shipping many are planted from June 1 to 
July 15. Casabas may be taken from the vine 
as soon as they lose the green lustre, but 
should not be eaten until the hard rind of 
such varieties as the Golden Beauty will 
give slightly under pressure of the thumb. The 
Improved Hybrid in particular is not at its best 
until quite an impression can be made with 
the thumb as in a mellow apple. The best way 
to keep the casaba late into the fall is to gather 
them together in the hill, leaving them attached 
to the vines and covering them completely with 
the vines. 
241 Golden Beauty—105 days. An A&M in- 
troduction and one of the most popular of the 
casabas. Melons have a beautiful golden color 
at maturity with a wrinkled skin. Flesh is white 
in color, very sweet and spicy. Good for ship- 
ping as it stands long journeys very well. An 
excellent sort for fall and late consumption. 
Properly stored they will remain edible for 
months. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; % lb. 65c; lb. $2.00.
