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 at- 

 tractive 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.)
