The Hale’s Best is an early cantaloupe, salmon colored flesh, and well netted. It does not 
run to even sizes as do the improved strains. One of the features of the cantaloupe is the 
retention of its high quality even after it becomes somewhat overripe.

The Ten Twenty-Five has become famous among cantaloupe varieties 
10-25 for its uniformity and its ability to produce a large crop of melons over 
a long period. The 10-25 is a salmon-fleshed cantaloupe of good qual¬ 
ity. The fruit is well netted, and its shipping qualities are very good. 
While the 10-25 is not an early melon, it has all the other features demanded for a 
good commercial cantaloupe. We can offer this seed at an exceptionally reasonable price.

The early fame of Rocky Ford as the cantaloupe capital 
was builded upon the green fleshed varieties, such as the 
Netted Gem. The Early Watters is a selection from the 
Netted Gem. It is a green-fleshed cantaloupe, with the fine flavor that helped build the 
reputation of Rocky Ford’s fine cantaloupes. The Early Watters germinates strongly, pro¬ 
ducing vigorous plants, and is extremely prolific. It is a week earlier than the main crop 
varieties.

distinguished by its pink colored flesh surrounded by a dark 
green rind. The flesh is solid and smooth. The melon 
is oblong in shape, and covered with a thin netting. The Burrell Gem is an excellent 
shipper. This melon still is popular after many years, testifying to its fundamental worth.
