New Ideal Cantaloupe 
ANOTHER IMPROVED STRAIN OF HALE’S BEST 
By careful selection this improved strain of Hale’s Best has become another 
of the outstanding melons in districts where a large uniform early melon is desired; 
•on an average they will produce within eighty days from date of planting. 
Vines are unusually healthy, vigorous and very prolific; the melons run usually 
to Jumbo in size and oval in shape, practically all solid net; the flesh is a deep 
salmon color, very firm and fine grained. Has an excellent flavor, small seed cavity 
and is a fine shipper. 
NEW IDEAL 
Since we introduced this new melon the trade has praised it very highly; we 
continually have repeat orders and additional new customers each season; our 
acreage planted for seed the past season continued to show an improvement. 
We strongly urge you to give this melon a trial; you will be more than pleased 
with the appearance, uniformity, size and yield at harvest time, as it is adapted 
to nearly all melon growing districts in the country, where a Jumbo melon is 
preferred. 
We have a limited amount of stock seed of this variety of our own selection 
which we offer at 25c per pound above the price quoted on our regular stock. 
PRICE: Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 35c; V 2 lb. 65c; 1 lb. $1.25; 5 to 10 lbs. @ $1.10 per lb.
