White- Seeded Pink Pea 
THE WHITE-SEEDED PINK PEARL is a moderately late melon, in season a few days later than the 
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 distributed 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 the 
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 com- 
mercial 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 
seed is limited this season, and we suggest to those of our customers who are regular users of 
this melon that they place their orders 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.
