Cantaloupe . . . New Ideal 
A superior strain of Hales Best, originated by us by crossing our Perfected 
Perfecto with a very select strain of Hales Best. The result of this crossing was most 
gratifying to us, for we had succeeded in combining the earliness of the Hales Best 
with the very superior qualities of the Perfected Perfecto. Since our origination of 
this variety we have continued to improve the strain by careful selection and breeding. 
I believe that there is no melon superior to the NEW IDEAL in eating quality and 
earliness. While we class this melon with the Hales Best in time of maturity, we have 
found ripe melons in our fields 80 days from planting. Many of the large cantaloupe 
growers tell me that our NEW IDEAL is the earliest, most uniform and best eating 
cantaloupe of the Hales Best type. 

Three of Our NEW IDEAL Cantaloupes 
NEW IDEAL, 83 days. The vines are medium size but very vigorous and healthy, 
prolific bearers and less inclined to rust than most other varieties. The melons are 
quite uniform, running mostly 12 to the jumbo flat crate. Oval in shape they are 
covered with a solid, finely laced, well developed netting. In size and outward ap- 
pearance they closely resemble our Perfected Perfecto. The flesh also shows the 
Perfected Perfecto blood, for they have the same small seed cavity and deep or- 
ange-salmon color of that variety. The flesh is firm, thick and very fine grained. 
You will be well pleased with the New Ideal, for it is truly an Early Perfected 
Perfecto.
