QUEEN OF COLORADO 
ONE OF THE BEST MUSKMELONS 
The Queen of Colorado is a leading 
variety that won an “All America” se- 
lection award in 1939. It is a develop- 
ment 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 pre- 
mature softening. The Queen of Colo- 
rado has become a favorite in the Cen- 
tral 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.
