G. £? W.’s New Ideal 
Cantaloupe 
T 'HIS new strain was developed from a perfect cantaloupe found in a seed field of Hale’s 
Best four years ago. By careful selection each succeeding season we have developed a 
commercial cantaloupe which we believe outclasses any early variety introduced to date. 
The past season we found many ripe melons in our seed fields within 80 days from time of 
planting. 
The vines are of medium size but healthy and vigorous. It is very prolific, first set un¬ 
usually heavy. The melons run mostly jumbo in size and oval in shape, practically all solid 
net. The flesh is a deep salmon color, firm, fine-grained. It has a smaller seed cavity than 
the other early strains which with deep colored flesh indicates a cross with the Perfecto. 
It has an excellent flavor and is a fine shipper. 
We introduced this new strain last year. Our seed supply was limited, therefore was 
unable to give it wide distribution. Those who were fortunate enough to give it a trial cannot 
praise it too highly and many repeat orders were the result. 
We planted an increased acreage the past season and harvested a fine crop of seed, which 
enables us to reduce the price considerably, yet from the early demand we very much doubt 
being able to take care of all orders. We strongly advise placing your order early as this 
wonderful new melon will not disappoint you. It will pay you to give it a trial.
