AND SELECTION 
101 Special 
The 101 Special was first introduced in 1927 as an improvement in the famous 
Ten Twenty-Five. The 101 Special is still preferred in some cantaloupe sections 
over the later introductions. The 101 Special is a very uniform melon of standard 
pack sizes. The fruit is round and heavily netted with no sectors. The flesh is 
sweet, firm and a deep pink in color. The 101 Special is a splendid melon for main 
crop planting.

10-25 
The Ten Twenty-Five has become famous among cantaloupe varieties for its 
uniformity and ability to produce a large crop of melons over a long period. It is 
a salmon fleshed cantaloupe of good quality. 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.

Early Watters 
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 cantaloup, with the fine flavor that 
helped build the reputation of Rocky Ford's fine cantaloupes. The flesh is thick 
and firm, and the vines are rust resistant, vigorous and extremely prolific. It is a 
week earlier than main crop varieties.

Burrell Gem 
The Burrell Gem is a melon distinguished by its pink colored flesh surrounded 
by a dark green rind. This characteristic has resulted in its being generally called 
“Pink Meat." The melons are oval in shape and covered with a thin netting over all 
the melon except the furrows dividing the sectors. The flesh is smooth and solid 
with a good flavor. The Burrell Gem is an excellent shipper.
