Nine Thirty-Six— 
A 1934 Introduction of a Hale’s Best Strain that proved 
to be Immediately Popular. 
Last year we introduced the Nine Thirty-Six as an improved type of 
the Hale’s Best. Its reception by the trade far exceeded our expectations, 
for we sold our entire supply of this seed before the season was finished. 
This season we have a good supply of this seed, but hardly enough, we be¬ 
lieve, to be able to fill all the orders that will be made for it. 
NINE THIRTY-SIX—A Hale’s Best strain. 
We sold our entire supply of seed of this variety last year. 
Realizing that no cantaloupe is perfect in every respect, we have re¬ 
fused to be satisfied with any particular variety, and have continually at¬ 
tempted to make improvements. When the Hale’s Best was introduced, 
we quickly saw certain of its defects that needed to be eliminated, and saw 
certain qualities that needed to be improved. As results of our work, we 
introduced the No. 112 and the No. 36. At the same time that we were 
working on these two strains we were also working on a third, which we 
introduced last year as the Nine Thirty-Six. 
It is the usual procedure for a new introduction to go through a trial 
period, during which the growers satisfy themselves regarding its merits.
