Cantaloupes IDEAL 
85 days. We originated this very select strain several years ago by 
NEW IDEAL crossing our Perfected Perfecto with an excellent strain of Hale’s 
Best. The result is an early cantaloupe with the qualities of the later Perfected Perfecto. 
We have continued our work toward improving this strain until, today we have an Ideal 
cantaloupe for the shipper or market grower. While we class this melon with the Hale’s 
Best in time of maturity, we have found ripe melons in our fields 80 days from time of 
planting. Many large growers tell us that the New Ideal is the earliest, the most uniform 
and the best quality cantaloupe of its class. 
The vines of the New Ideal are of medium growth but very vigorous and healthy. 
A very prolific producer with the first set unusually heavy. In size these melons run 
mostly jumbo 12’s to the flat crate. They are very uniform in size and oval in shape, 
covered with a solid, well developed netting. The flesh is similar to the Perfected Per- 
fecto; small seed cavity, a very deep orange-salmon color, thick meat, very firm and 
fine grained. 
We strongly recommend that you give this fine cantaloupe a trial. We feel sure 
that you will be well pleased with it for market or home use.
