Hardie’s Muskmelon or Cantaloupe 
Hardie’s Cantaloupe or Mushmelon seed is grown in Colorado by two of the best growers of 
that big seed-producing center. We have contracted with these same firms for many years and 
have never had cause to even consider a change. We receive many letters from our customers 
telling of the wonderful cantaloupes they have produced from our seed. 
CULTURE—Plant in hills eight or ten feet apart, dropping ten seeds to the hill; thin out 
to three plants to the hill, cultivate until the 
the early shoots to induce early fruiting. 
226—EDWARD’S PERFECTO. This is a new 
cantaloupe that has only been introduced a 
short time. It is 6 by 5 inches in size, with 
very slight ribs and a hard gray netting. The 
seed cavity is triangular and the flesh a 
deeply tinted salmon color. It is edible in 
about 96 days and the shipping and keeping 
qualities excellent. It is a new type of Rocky 
Ford, showing a trace of Burrel Gem, but 
far superior to Burrel Gem. We believe Per- 
fecto will supersede many of the old shipping 
varieties. Try some of this seed; you will 
be pleased. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 30c; lb.,
