G. & W.’s Hale’s Best 
Cantaloupe 
(■Original Strain 
Improved ) 
Our improved strain of Hale’s Best was awarded both first and second premiums 
at the Arkansas Valley Fair the past fall. 
This Cantaloupe is the earliest and most profitable variety and in connection 
with the recently Improved strains is the best and most favorably known com¬ 
mercial cantaloupe ever introduced. 
WE SELL SEED TO OVER THRTY CANTALOUPE DISTRIBUTORS OPERAT¬ 
ING IN THE IMPERIAL VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, WHICH DISTRICT SHIPS NEAR¬ 
LY HALF OF THE CANTALOUPES PRODUCED IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. 
TT/YE herein offer our own selection from the original stock in which the irregular sizes and 
VV/ off shapes so common in the parent stock has been eliminated. Many of our customers 
still prefer a large cantaloupe oblong in shape, showing a slight rib and stripe rather 
than the smaller sizes, round to oval shapes, solid net melons of the Improved strains; there¬ 
fore we have carefully kept up our Improved stock of the original Hale’s Best. The melons 
run mostly jumbo sizes, oval to oblong in shape; a large percentage showing a slight rib and 
faint stripe, yet retains the extreme earliness of the original strain. The flesh is deep salmon 
colored, firm and of excellent quality. It is a splendid shipper staying firm for days after being 
picked. 
The Hale’s Best is the best known cantaloupe in the United States. , jWe sell far greater 
quantities of this variety than of all others combined. Our seed is all grown from our person¬ 
ally selected stock seed. There is None Better. 
We have a limited surplus of stock seed of this variety (especially saved for our own plant¬ 
ing) which we offer as long as it lasts at 25c per pound above the price quoted on our regular 
stock.
