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

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 spe- 
cialized market for it. Our supply of this variety 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.
