CANTALOUPE 
NEW IDEAL 
NEW IDEAL is an improved strain of Hales Best crossed with Perfected Perfecto. 
Since we introduced this melon the trade has praised it very highly; continuing 1 
to send repeat orders each season. We believe that this melon outclasses any 
early melon on the market. We have found ripe melons in our seed fields 80 
days from planting. The New Ideal is very uniform in size and oval in shape, 
practically all solid net. The flesh is a deep salmon color, very firm and fine 
grained. The seed cavity is small, showing the Perfected Perfecto crossing. An 
exceptional shipping melon on account of it’s solid flesh and small cavity. Carlot 
shippers tell us that they always get top prices when their shipments of NEW 
IDEAL Cantaloupes are sold on the markets. 
The vines of the NEW IDEAL are of medium size but very vigorous and 
healthy. A very prolific producer with the first set unusually heavy. The melons 
run mostly jumbo in size, packing 12’s to the flat crate. The eating quality of 
the NEW IDEAL cannot be surpassed. We strongly recommend that you give 
this melon a trial. We feel sure that you will be as pleased with it’s quality as 
are the many large shippers who have used it since we first introduced it.
