Hale’s Best Cantaloupe No. 112 
(Improved and Introduced by the Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Seed Breeders Ass’n.) 
T 'HIS is another Improved strain of the Hale’s Best. It was first introduced during the 
season of 1931 and at once gained favor with the commercial growers and shippers on 
account of its fine appearance, uniform size and excellent shipping qualities. In appear¬ 
ance it resembles the No. 36. It makes a strong vine growth, is very prolific but averages a 
little smaller in size. It is heavily netted but a small percentage show slight ribs and stripes 
which were so prominent in the old strain. It is just a little later in maturing; otherwise it 
is a great improvement over the Original and is rapidly gaining favor with the shippers as 
one of the leading commercial cantaloupes. 
Our seed fields were grown from stock seed of our own selection. Our original stock was 
secured from the introducers the previous year. Our seed crops of this strain the past season 
were fine and produced a heavy yield of excellent seed. Don’t fail to include No. 112 in your 
order for the coming season.
