Cantaloupe 
Perfecto Orange Fle/sh 
No 1 Seed. Orange flesh. This variety is 
recognized as the highest development in c n- 
taloupes and is especially recommended for 
planting where melons are inclined to rust 
as it is more rust resistant than most so ts. 
Well grown, practically all these melons 
pack 12 to the jumbo flat crate. The netting 
is well developed and closely laced, cover ng 
the entire melon “solid net.” The interstices 
between the netting are small and bright 
green changing to orange greui when full 
ripe. The flesh, a rich orange-salmon, is v ry 
deep and the color shows through the r'nd 
where th > m°lon touches the ground a day or 
two before the melon will slip, enabling the 
careful picker to pick very closely and ac¬ 
curately. The quality is unexcelled. The fh'sh 
is fine grained, very sweet and spicy. Market 
growers now plant thousands of acres to 
I’erfecto cantaloupes. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz.,

Green Fleshed Honey Dew 
This melon has won its way into favor 
wholly because of its excellent flavor and 
good keeping qualities. It is enormously 
prolific: It is rertdy to pull when the green 
luster' has changed toward a creamy yellow, 
it - is not ready to be eaten until, like tin 1 
Casaba, you can make an impression w.th 
the thumb as in a mellow apple. The picture 
is typical of its shape; the average size is 
about as large as a cocoanut, but the smaller 
sized Melons a re not inferior in flavor. Every 
melon is a good one. Flesh is light green and 
sweet as honey. The rind is light green or 
silvery gray in color, smooth as an egg and 
hard as the rind of a winter squash. It is 
therefore a good shipper. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; 
oz., 20c: 44 lb;, 65c; 44 lb., $1.00; lb., $2 00;

strain. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 44 lb., 40c;
