IOI Special Cantaloupe 
This cantaloupe might be classed as a Pink-Meat 10-25, as it has the heavy net¬ 
ting of the 10-25, runs uniform in size but with a deep pink flesh rather than a salmon 
tint. The seed cavity is smaller than that of the 10-25, therefore it is a better shipper. 
It is a main crop variety and very prolific. The vines make a vigorous growth and are 
disease resistant. If the seed cavity were a trifle smaller it could be classed as an 
“Improved Perfecto.” 
We grew a wonderful crop of this strain, in fact, it was the heaviest crop we 
have ever produced. We are sure that it will not disappoint you. Many pronounced our 
seed fields as the very best that they ever saw of this variety. We advise growers 
wishing a melon that is inclined to run smaller due to the very heavy set, to give this 
101 Special a trial.
