437 CONDON'S Perfection 
The Earliest, Sweetest, Largest and Best Salmon Flesh Melon 
You will fliid in this grand melon the acme of perfection in the salmon flesh varieties. The original 
type or this new melon was tlist located in our field of Osage, where we found by close comparison 
it surpassed this excellent variety, as it did all others. Weighs from 6 to 8 pounds; exceedingly thin 
skin, deep flesh, ripening very close to rind. Very small seed cavitv, firmly netted, distinctly ribbed, 
very firm and solid both on blossom and stem end. Never known to crack open. Flesh is deep Sal- 
mon color, very thick meat, sweet, sugary and delicious. This grand Melon sold this year on the 
local market at 25c each when other varieties were selling at 10c and 15c. The gardeners who grew 
Condons Perfection were always sold out and gone before other varieties would sell at any price.
