Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marketing the Muskmelon While various types of muskmelon may be disposed of upon a local market, there are certain types which are recognized as stan'd ards in the large city markets; and it is seldom wise to attempt to force upon a general market a variety not recognized as a standard in that particular market. In the Chicago market the sorts most in demand are the N etted Gem, or Rocky Ford type, and the Osage;* andsince Chicago is the leading market for Illinois melons, these two types would necessarily constitute a large proportion of the Illinois product. As a matter of fact, the Osage is not extensively grown in Illinois, so that nearly all the muskmelons produced in this State for the general market are of the Netted Gem type. The matter presented in this publication will, therefore, have special reference to the marketing of Gem melons.

A portion of this area was abandoned or did not produce a good crop. However, the average yield of 185 crates of marketable melons per acre, making a total for the section of Cars of 320 crates each, Shows the ability of this valley to produce abundant crops of muskmelons. The early and prolonged Shipping season, extending from May 25 to July 21 in 1915, gave the valley a very considerable advantage in disposing of the crop.

Download or read book The Melon written by Amy Goldman and published by City Point Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melons are the vegetable garden’s crown jewels—and Amy Goldman’s lifelong passion and calling. Her new book, THE MELON, will entice and educate, whether you are a passionate gardener, a locavore, or simply delight in the inherent beauty and evanescence of the fruits of the vine. THE MELON was produced by Amy Goldman in collaboration with celebrated photographer Victor Schrager over the course of nine years. It’s a cut above their award-winning melon book MELONS FOR THE PASSIONATE GROWER, published in 2002. In the intervening years, Goldman has grown as a gardener and has learned a lot more. She has taken advantage of recent research findings that informed her thinking on crop history and best cultural practices. THE MELON includes additional horticultural groups of melon and gives watermelon—which is less genetically diverse—more of a fair shake. Much like the word “cantaloupe,” which is used colloquially and erroneously by Americans to describe muskmelon, the word “melon” is commonly used in the United States to refer to both melon and watermelon. These vining crops belong to two different species within the Cucurbitaceae or gourd family of plants. Melon and watermelon are now among the world’s most important vegetable crops. The 125 varieties illustrated and described in THE MELON comprise 85 melons and 40 watermelons from all over the globe. Their stories are as diverse as the melons themselves. In addition to the stunning portraits and beauty shots and detailed descriptions of melons, THE MELON includes in-depth sections on picking and choosing melons and watermelons in the market, growing them in the garden, and saving pure heirloom seeds. Mouth-watering recipes by renowned cookbook author Mindy Fox complete the journey from seed to table.

Download or read book Cantaloupe Powdery Mildew in the Imperial Valley Classic Reprint written by Pierre Alphonse Miller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cantaloupe Powdery Mildew in the Imperial Valley Although a few growers secured very satisfactory yields in 1926, some fields produced as few as 80 to 90 crates of cantaloupes per acre. In some instances only the first or crown set' melons were harvested. The average yield per acre that year in Imperial Valley as a whole was approximately 110 crates per acre as compared with an average of 160 crates per acre for most of the previous seasons. The total ship ments for the season were estimated to have been reduced by more than carloads as a direct result of the mildew attack. The crop losses for the seasons of 1927, 1928, and'192'9 were slight. During these years, however, there were a few early fields for which losses of 20 per cent of the crop were reported. Actual crop losses may not be the only result of severe disease attacks. The fields of early melons are generally the most profitable of the season because of higher market prices prevailing at the time these melons are harvested and shipped. As melons from mildewed vines are of inferior quality, early shipments of poor quality fruit may adversely affect the market demand and price. The market for Imperial Valley cantaloupes in 1926 was undoubtedly affected by the poor quality of the shipments during that season. Many growers consider the reduction in quality with its consequent depressing influ ence upon the market to be the most serious result of the disease attacks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1955 Acreage-Marketing Guides: Summer and Fall Vegetables for Market, Summer Melons, Vegetables for Processing, Late Potatoes, Sweetpotatoes The demand for vegetables during the summer and fall of 1955 is expected to continue at about the levels of recent years and probably will be somewhat higher than a year earlier, when business investment, defense spending, and business inventories were declining. New budget estimates of Federal spending for fiscal 1955-56 presented to the Congress on January 17, 1955, suggest that outlays for national saour ity programs may change very little from the current rate. With a growing need for schools, roads and other public facilities, expenditures by State and local governments are expected to rise further over the coming year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Acreage-Marketing Guides, 1956: Summer and Fall Vegetables for Fresh Market; Summer Melons; Vegetables for Commercial Processing; Sweet Potatoes The primary purpose of acreage guides is to bring about a needed percentage change in acreage from that of the preceding year so that the resulting pro duction will.be in line with demand. Since each individual grower almost certainly knows the acreage of vegetables harvested on his ferm.in 1955, he should adjust his own acreage in accordance with the published guides. For example, if it is recommended that the 1956 acreage of early summer snap beans be reduced 5 percent from the acreage harvested in 1955, every grower of snap beans in every state included in the early summer classification should decrease his acreage by 5 percent.
