H. D. Garwood Seed Co v Rocky Ford, Colorado 
A/eur Jddeal Cantaloupe 
Several years ago we found a perfect cantaloupe in a seed field of Hales Best 
and from this we developed Our NEW IDEAL CANTALOUPE. 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 planting. 
The vines are of medium size but very vigorous and healthy. It is very prolific, 
the first set being unusually heavy. The melons run mostly jumbo in size and oval 
in shape, practically all are solid net. The flesh is a deep salmon color, firm, fine 
grained and with an excellent flavor. It is one of the best shipping melons we know 
of, many cars being shipped out of this district the past season to Eastern markets. 
Our seed supply has been limited, therefore we have been unable to give this 
melon- the wide distribution to which it is entitled. This year we hope to fill all 
orders for this extraordinary melon and strongly urge you to give it a trial, ordering 
early before our stock of select NEW IDEAL is exhausted.
