OLD FAMILIAR VARITIES 
The cantaloupe varieties listed below are some that have been developed in years 
past and have proven themselves to be good enough to still retain a place in the most 
up-to-date catalogs. In each of these varieties you will find particular characteristics 
that can be found in no other cantaloupes. 
101 SPECIAL 
The ‘101 Special’ has proven itself to be one of the finest of the older main crop 
varieties, and is still preferred in some cantaloupe sections to the newer introductions. 
This melon is very uniform in size, running to the standard pack sizes, with a 
uniform netting and no sectors. The flesh of the “101” is smooth, sweet and firm. It is 
well suited for main crop plantings and for the market gardeners.

EARLY WATTERS 
The Early Watters is one of the original green fleshed melons and is a selection 
from the old Netted Gem variety. The Early Watters germinates very strongly, pro- 
ducing vigorous vines, the fruit sets early and the crop matures in a very short time, 
yet it is extremely prolific. It is fully a week earlier than the main crop varieties. The 
Early Watters is one of the melons that made the Rocky Ford cantaloupe famous.

has a thin netting. The Burrell Gem is an excellent shipper.
