Hardie’s Muskmelon or 
Hardie’s Cantaloupe or Muskmelon seed is grown at Rocky Ford, Colorado, 
by two of the best growers of that big seed-producing center. We have 
contracted with these same firms for many years and have never had cause 
to even consider a change. We receive many letters from our customers 
telling of the wonderful cantaloupes they have produced from our seed. 
CULTURE—Plant in hills eight or ten feet apart, dropping ten seeds to 
the hill; thin out to three plants to the hill, cultivate until the vines cover 
the ground, and pinch the ends of the early shoots to induce early fruiting. 
225 — ACME or BALTIMORE —Excellent for late market, its heavy foliage 
giving the fruit plenty of shade to protect it from our hot mid-summer sun; 
of good size, oval in form, well ribbed and heavily netted, skin turning to 
a golden tint when ripened. Flesh firm and of superior quality. A great 
favorite with hotels and restaurants. Truckers plant this variety for second 
crop. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; IA lb. 30c; lb. 90c; postpaid. 
226 — EDWARD’S PERFECTO —This is a new cantaloupe that has only been 
introduced a short time. It is 6 by 5 inches in size, with very slight ribs 
and a hard gray netting. The seed cavity is triangular and the flesh a deeply 
tinted salmon color. It is edible in about 96 days and the shipping and 
keeping qualities excellent. It is a new type of Rocky Ford, showing a 
trace of Burrell Gem, but far superior to Burrell Gem. We believe Perfecto 
will supersede many of the old shipping varieties. Try some of this seed; 
you will be pleased. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; IA lb. 30c; lb. 90c; 2 lbs. $1.75; 
postpaid.
