Market Surprise Cantaloupe 
This melon was developed by an Illinois grower principally for the market 
gardener who wants an extra large, early maturing, well netted cantaloupe to sell 
at roadside stands and for bulk hauling in trucks; if it were packed, would run largely 
to nine pack jumbo flats. 
For trade desiring size and quality included, this melon is unsurpassed; has 
nearly a solid net, showing very little of the distinct stripe. 
The flesh is thick and of a deep salmon color with small seed cavity. Should 
not be picked until it will slip freely from the vine because of its firmness after it 
is a golden color. 
PRICE: Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 35c; V 2 lb. 65c; 1 lb. $1.25; 5 to 10 lbs. @ $1.10 per lb.; 
10 to 25 lbs. @ $1.00 per lb.; over 25 lbs. @ 90c per lb. Prepaid.

HARE’S REST NO. 112

ance it resembles the Number 36; is a heavily netted melon showing a faint stripe; 
has a thick salmon colored flesh and of an excellent flavor, small seed cavity and 
is a good shipper. The vines make a strong vigorous growth which assures well- 
matured melons throughout the picking season.
