Extractions: x Purple and Iberian starthistles are noxious weeds that may infest range, pasture, and roadsides in the Pacific Northwest. As with other knapweeds and starthistles, these species are unpalatable and may replace valuable forage species. Dense infestations of these rigidly branched plants armed with long hard sharp spines make infested areas inaccessible. Grazing animals generally avoid purple starthistle, but may eat the young rosettes if other feed is not available. The sharp spines also deter people who use recreation areas. When these exotic species invade natural areas and parks, they degrade areas of native vegetation. Purple starthistle is native to the Mediterranean region, southern Europe and northern Africa. Iberian starthistle is native to Asia Minor in the region between the Caspian and Black seas. x Identification Mature plants are 1 to 4 feet tall, have a stout taproot, and are densely and rigidly branched. Young stems and leaves are covered with cobwebby hairs but usually become almost smooth with age. Lower leaves are deeply divided into oblong-linear segments; upper leaves are narrow and undivided and do not form a wing down the stem like that of yellow starthistle. The undersides of leaves are sparsely pitted with minute clear globules. Rosette leaves are deeply lobed and older rosettes have a circle of spines in the center. Flower heads, 3/4 to 1 inch long, are numerous. Flowers vary from lavender to deep purple. Marginal flowers are not enlarged. The bracts of the flower head are tipped with a stout rigid straw-colored spine about an inch long, with one to three pairs of lateral prickles near its base. The scientific name

Extractions: Contents Cantaloupe and Specialty Melons PREFACE This publication was compiled to meet the growing cantaloupe industry in Georgia. Its 10 chapters represent the latest information available on successful cantaloupe and specialty melon production. This publication is the compilation of information through the Georgia Vegetable Team, a cross-discipline commodity group within the University of Georgia. Thanks are extended to all the contributors and reviewers for their efforts in putting this publication together. CULTURE George E. Boyhan, W. Terry Kelley, Darbie M. Granberry Description Cantaloupe and specialty melons are members of the cucurbit (Cucurbitaceae) family, which also includes several warm season vegetables such as watermelon, squash and cucumber. Cantaloupes and specialty melons grow as prostrate vines with andromonecious flowering, both perfect (with male and female flower parts) and imperfect (male flowers). The scientific name for cantaloupes (muskmelons) and specialty melons is Cucumis melo . This species is subdivided into seven botanical variants: cantaloupensis, reticulatous, inodorous, flexuosus, conomon, chito and dudaim. Only two of the seven variants have significant commercial importance in the United States. These are the reticulatous and inodorous variants.
