MELOGOLD 
THE MOST POPULAR WHITE-SKINNED CANTALOUPE 
The name “Melogold,” derived by contract- 
ing the words of “melon of gold,” aptly de- 
scribes this cantaloupe. 
The Melogold is a white-skinned, pink- 
fleshed variety that has fine flavor and excel- 
lent shipping qualities. Picked vine-ripened, 
these melons will reach markets in good condi- 
tion. 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. 
PRICES POSTPAID: Ounce, 25c; 1/4 pound, 65c; 1/2 pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 5 pounds, $8.80. 
MILDEW RESISTANT 0.8 
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 ap- 
pearance, and will average larger than 
the Hale’s Best in size, but will not run 
to a single uniform type. The No. 8 ma- 
tures 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 mil- 
dew, but this will not affect its popular- 
ity in districts where mildew is not a 
factor. For a hardy melon, producing a 
heavy crop of large melons, we recom- 
mend the No. 8. 
PRICES POSTPAID: Ounce, 25c; 1/4 pound, 65c; '/2 pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 5 pounds, $8.80.
