PERFECTED 
PERFECTO 
CANTALOUPE 
Variety No. 33 
The Perfecto ripens ev- 
enly and for a long period; 
melons run fairly large, up 
to twelve pack Jumbo flat, 
very uniform in_ size; 
coarse, solid heavy net, 
being perfect in appear- 
ance. The flesh is a very 
dark salmon color, fine 
grained and of excellent 
flavor; the seed cavity 
averages much smaller 
than any other Rocky Ford 
varieties, the rich colored 
flesh extending to the rind. 
The vines make an extra 
strong vigorous growth, and are highly disease 
resistant. Due to this fact, hills should be spaced 
further apart than other cantaloupe varieties. For 
late maturing melon, we urge you to plant the

CANTALOUPE CULTURE 
We recommend one pound of seed per acre, 
spacing the hills 6 to 8 feet each way, the land 
being a medium sandy loam, cultivating deep 
with the first plowing, gradually getting shallower 
with each cultivation as the vines grow larger. 
Cultivate often, keeping the field free of weeds 
and grass at all times. Plant 12 to 15 seeds to the 
hill, thinning to two of the healthiest plants when 
they have four to five leaves. Cover the seed with 
about one inch of soil gently tamped, planting 
when all danger of frost in your locality is past, 
unless Hotkaps are used, then you can plant two 
to three weeks earlier.
