G. & W.’s New “Perfected 
Perfecto” Cantaloupe 
(Our “Perfected Perfecto” was awarded first premium at the Arkansas Valley 
Fair, also at the Colorado State Fair last fall.) 
"ITT/E HAVE predicted for several years past that the time would soon come when the 
\X/ Perfecto would take the lead as a main crop variety. “THE TIME HAS COME.” 
We were the first to introduce the Improved Perfecto into the Imperial Valley, Cali¬ 
fornia, and on the strength of the wonderful showing it made there we have sold thousands 
of pounds there and in Arizona each season. All of the leading growers and shippers use^the 
Perfecto as a main crop variety. 
J. A. Edwards of Rocky Ford, Colorado, who originated the Edwards Perfecto also 
started this strain and turned his stock seed over to us for further development. We named 
it the Perfected Perfecto. The strain called the Superfecto came from the same stock. 
Our “PERFECTED PERFECTO” runs large and very uniform in size. It very 
seldom shows a stripe and has a fairly coarse, heavy net. The flesh is a very dark 
salmon color. It could rightfully be classed as a Red Meat. 
The seed cavity averages smaller than in any other Rocky Ford variety. A 
quarter will cover the cavity in many, and it is seldom that a dollar will not cover 
the largest seed cavity. The rich-colored flesh extends to the rind. The flesh is 
fine-grained, melting, and of excellent flavor. The keeping and shipping qualities 
are unsurpassed. 
The vines make a strong, vigorous growth, and are highly disease-resistant. (It should 
be planted farther apart than the Salmon-tinted varieties.) 
We have a limited surplus of stock seed of this variety (especially saved for our own plant¬ 
ing) which we offer as long as it lasts at 25c per pound above the price quoted on our regular 
stock. 
Large size, ideal 
shape, extra small seed 
cavity with solid core.
