SENATOR. This main crop variety does not grow as large as the Alderman, 
being about 2% to 3 feet tall, but we have found it to be an exceed¬ 
ingly fine variety. The plants are vigorous and invariably bear a good crop of attrac¬ 
tive large pods. The pods are about 4 inches in length and well-filled. You must try 
this very productive variety in order to appreciate its choicest quality.

A comparison of our two new strains of cantaloupes: the WEAVER SPECIAL strain 
is on the left, and the HALE’S BEST strain on the right. 
Read the description of these new melons below. 
TWO NEW CANTALOUPES FOR INTRODUCTION IN 1936. 
We wish to make mention of two new strains of cantaloupes, on which we have been working for 
several years. One of these is an improved Hale’s Best, and the (other is an improved Weaver Special. 
Both of these varieties will be ready for introduction next year. Meanwhile we wish to tell you some¬ 
thing of both of these varieties, which are as yet unnamed. 
The new Hale’s Best strain is one that is earlier by a few days than either the Nine Thirty-Six 
or the No. 36. It is remarkably prolific, producing 25% more melons than the other strains, and in our 
own fields we have sometimes found that it will produce as much as 50% more melons. In other respects 
this melon has all the fine qualities of the Nine Thirty-Six and the No. 36. 
The new strain of Weaver Special is one that is as early as the Hale’s Best, and is more solid and 
of a more oblong shape than the usual Weaver Special. Otherwise it is like the parent stock. 
We will enclose small packets of these varieties, for trial, in (your order if you are interested.
