Cantaloupes 
QUALITY FIRST, 
LAST AND ALWAYS 
The Perfected Perfecto 
PERFECTED PERFECTO 92 days. Our selection from the original Perfecto, 
it is truly cantaloupe perfection. Its wonderful flavor, thick flesh, excellent quality and 
ability to stand shipping has made the Perfected Perfecto the leading melon for the 
later markets. Extensively used in Northern California, Arizona and many of the 
eastern states, it commands a premium on most markets where it is listed as “Orange 
Flesh.” Although somewhat later than other shipping varieties, the longer growing 
season develops the sugar and sweetness so one is well repaid for a few days waiting. 
We especially recommend the Perfected Perfecto for planting where other melons 
are inclined to rust. The vines make an extra strong, vigorous growth and are highly 
disease resistant. On account of this vigorous growing habit the Perfected Perfecto 
should be spaced farther apart than most other cantaloupes. These melons are nearly 
round in shape, measuring about 6 inches long by 5% inches in diameter, and very uni¬ 
form, packing 12 to 15 to the jumbo flat crate. While a little later in maturing they 
ripen evenly over a long period. With practically no stripe this melon has a very well 
developed, very closely laced netting which covers the entire melon. 
The flesh of the Perfected Perfecto is a very rich orange-salmon color, edible to the 
rind. It is one of the thickest meated cantaloupes of any variety. The seed cavity is 
the smallest to be found, a fifty-cent piece will cover most any cavity, with the seeds 
held very tightly packed. The quality of the Perfected Perfecto is unexcelled, very 
sweet and spicy.
