101 SPECIAL CANTALOUPE 
A LATE MATURING VARIETY THAT WAS DEVELOPED 
FROM THE TEN TWENTY-FIVE. 
The “101 Special” cantaloupe has proven itself to be one of the finest of the main 
crop varieties. Some government experiment stations have declared it to be the best 
of all varieties of cantaloupes. The “101 Special” is a strain developed from our 10-25, 
and it possesses all the fine qualities of the parent stock, with a deep pink flesh. 
This melon is very uniform in size, running to the standard pack sizes, with a uni¬ 
form netting, and no sectors. The flesh of the “101 Special” is sweet, smooth and 
firm. While it is not an early variety, as are the Hale’s Best strains, it is perfectly 
suited for the main crop plantings for both the commercial grower and the market 
gardener.

The famous TEN TWENTY-FIVE. 
THE TEN TWENTY-FIVE CANTALOUPE 
AN OLD STANDARD VARIETY THAT IS WORLD FAMOUS 
FOR ITS UNIFORMITY. 
The 10-25 was first introduced by us in 1916 and has become world famous for its 
uniformity. Because of its uniformity and because it is so well known the Ten Twenty- 
Five retains a place in the cantaloupe trade. 
This cantaloupe comes from a vine that is very prolific, producing solidly netted 
fruit, with no sector, which run to very even sizes. The flesh of the Ten Twenty-Five 
is of a salmon color from the seed cavity to within one-half inch of the rind—next to 
the rind the color is deep green. This makes a nice appearing melon for the table. The 
flavor of the Ten Twenty-Five rivals its appearance, for it has a sweet, spicy flavor and 
a smooth fine texture. The carrying qualities are good, for it will stand long hauls 
and arrive in prime condition. 
We have a supply of seed of this exceedingly fine variety which we offer at the 
following reduced prices.
