113 95 days. We predict this new variety will achieve 
great popularity. The medium-sized (6 by 5 inches), 
‘oval shaped fruits are finely netted, which in itself 
gives them a handsome appearance, but when they are 
halved and disclose their beautiful salmon-colored 
flesh, their appeal is irresistible. The flesh is thick, of 
a fine custard-like texture, and the triangular seed- 
eavity is the smallest found in melons of this type. 
Just about perfection for a true Cantaloupe. It is 
sure to supersede most of the older shipping varieties, 
now that we have this type selected to the typically 
Cantaloupe requirements. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 90c;
