Training melons and watermelons to grow vertically is referred to as trellising and is one of the advantages of growing melons in a high tunnel. Most melon cultivars and personal size (less than 7 pounds) watermelon cultivars are amenable to trellising.
A direct public offering (DPO), like the more traditional IPO, is a stock's introduction to the stock market. The stock is offered to the public for the first time. Unlike an IPO, which utilizes an underwriter to sell shares to the public, DPO shares are purchased directly from the issuing company.
An IPO helps to establish a trading market for the companyâs shares. In conjunction with an IPO, a company usually applies to list its shares on an established stock exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. Any planned exchange listing will typically be disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO.
