New Ideal Cantaloupe 
By careful selection this improved strain of Hale’s Best has become another 
of the outstanding melons in districts where a large uniform early melon is desired; 
on an average they will produce within 80 to 85 days from the date of planting. 
Vines are unusually healthy, vigorous and very prolific; the melons run Jumbo 
in size and oval in shape, practically all solid net; the flesh is a deep salmon color, 
very firm and fine grained. Has an excellent flavor, small seed cavity and is a 
fine shipper. 

NEW IDEAL 
Since we introduced this melon the trade has praised it very highly; we 
continually have repeat orders and additional new customers each season. 
We strongly urge you to give this melon a trial; you will be more than pleased 
with the appearance, uniformity, size and yield at harvest time, as it is adapted to 
nearly all melon growing districts in the country, where a jumbo melon is preferred; 
will average nine to twelve melons to the flat crate.
