554 "PERFECTED PERFECTO" 



The Newest and Most Highly 

 Developed Melon 



We feel confident that this variety will achieve great 

 popularity for its attractiveness and superb flavor. 



The medium-sized, oval-shaped fruits are finely netted, 

 which in itself give them an attractive appearance; 

 but, when they are halved, and disclose their beautiful 

 salmon-colored flesh, their appeal is irresistible, and 

 they actually taste better than they look. 



The flesh is thick, of a fine custard-like texture; the 

 seed cavity is the smallest found in melons of this type. 



All who enjoy fine flavored melons will welcome the 

 "Perfected Perfecto" because they can depend upon 

 its uniform superb quality. (See illustration.)
