WHITE-SEEDED PINK PEARL 
The White-seeded Pink Pearl is a moderately late melon, in season a few days 
later than Hale’s Best. The fruits are slightly larger than commercial sizes, running 
to jumbo thirty-sixes. It is a short oval in shape, with a heavy thick netting dis- 
tributed uniformly over the entire fruit. The skin color is a pale grayish green. The 
flesh is thick and a deep pink in color, firm and moderately juicy. The Pink Pearl 
is sweet, highly flavored and pleasantly aromatic. The seed is unusual in that it is 
a pure white instead of the yellow that usually characterizes cantaloupe seed. The 
cavity containing the seed is small and compactly filled. 
The White-seeded Pink Pearl has excellent shipping qualities, making it a good 
commercial cantaloupe. Its striking appearance and excellent quality have brought 
it popularity as a home and market garden melon. All these characteristics have 
resulted in certain sections specializing in this cantaloupe with great success. 
The seed of the Pink Pearl is rather difficult to handle in harvesting because of 
its light weight, and hence many seed firms do not offer this variety. Following our 
practice of giving the greatest service possible, we grow the White-seeded Pink Pearl 
for the benefit of those growers who have developed their own specialized market 
for it. Our supply of this variety’s seed is limited this season, and we suggest to 
those of our customers who are regular users of this melon that they place their 
order early. 
The care and attention that we have given the White-seeded Pink Pearl has 
produced a cantaloupe that we offer with pride, and we know that you will grow it 
with equal pride in its striking appearance and splendid quality.
