220— A—HALE’S BEST (75 Days)—Of the thousands of acres of 
cantaloupes grown in the Imperial Valley of California each 
year more than 90% are Hale’s Best, producing melons of uni¬ 
form standard size, 90% of which are completely covered with 
beautiful gray, lace-like netting which, with the small seed 
cavity, are the most essential points in carrying and keeping 
qualities of the cantaloupe. The flesh is green, tinged with a 
delicate salmon-pink around the seed cavity, which is the 
smallest of any strain in Rocky Ford. The flesh is firm but 
not tough or stringy, and has a sweet, luscious, melting and 
superb flavor.

221— POLLOCK’S 10-25 (Salmon-Fleshed Eden Gem) (75 days) 
—A salmon-tinted, rust-resisting cantaloupe that has become 
popular on the market because of its superior qualities. It 
is a heavy yielder and one of the best long distance shippers 
we know of. It is nearly as early as the Eden Gem and very 
prolific. The melons run very uniform in size. In shape 
it is a trifle longer than the Eden Gem, practically all run 
solid net, without any indication of the ribs. The netting is 
extremely heavy and very light colored when matured. The 
seed cavity is small.

222— BUCK BRAND (Surprise) (85 days)—The nearest thing 
to the old-fashioned muskmelon that you can get. Fruit 
round, slightly oblong, with a very thin, nearly smooth, gray- 
green skin; flesh thick and of deep salmon color. For flavor 
and size combined this is the king of all melons. Too large 
to be profitable for market—they often weigh 15 to 20 pounds 
—they are ideal for home use; one melon is enough for a 
family. Continues bearing till cold weather and holds its 
splendid quality up to the very last.

large size, and does well on both heavy and sandy soils. The 
fruits are slightly oval, dark green, slightly ribbed and partly 
Covered with shallow gray netting. The flesh is rich orange 
salmon, very thick, fine grained and highly flavored. It is

throughout the season from one small plot.
