Hale’s Best Cantaloupe No. 36 
(Improved and Introduced by the Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Seed Breeder’s Ass’n.) 
T ‘HIS Improved strain of the Hale’s Best cantaloupe was first offered in commercial quan¬ 
tities two years ago. It is a splendid melon and has proven very satisfactory. The vines 
are hardy. The melons run large and very uniform in size, practically all are solid net. 
It is very prolific and a good keeper remaining firm for several days after being picked on a 
full slip. The seed cavity runs smaller than in the regular strains of the Hale’s Best. Color 
of flesh is dark pink and of excellent flavor. It matures as early as the Original Hale’s Best. 
Our seed fields of this variety were grown from the introducers stock seed. We had a 
heavy yield and the quality was all that could be desired. We consider it one of the best of 
the Improved strains of the Hale’s Best cantaloupe introduced to date. We urge all Com¬ 
mercial and Market Growers to give it a trial. 
(No Stock Seed to Offer.) Only our extra select highest quality at the following low 
prices. 
p • Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; lb. $1.25; 10 to 25 lbs. at $1.10 per lb.; 50 to 100
