PLANT HALE'S BEST No. 36 CANTALOUPE 
77 
CANTALOUPES—Continued 
Edward’s Perfecto—90 Days 
This is a salmon fleshed, round, well netted without 
ribs, very small cavity variety. Excellent for ship¬ 
ping and no doubt will be used very shortly for long 
distance shipping. Delicious sweet flavor. 
Emerald Gem—86 Days 
A small, very early Melon, form globular, flattened 
at the poles, slightly ribbed, netted, orange flesh, 
deep emerald green line under the skin. Very sweet 
and luscious. One of the best for the garden. 
Fordhook or Yellow Flesh Jenny Lind—86 Days 
A thick orange flesh, small cavity melon, well ribbed 
and heavily netted. Flat at poles, resembles the 
Jenny Lind in many respects, except in color. 
Especially popular in New Jersey on account of its 
very appetizing flavor. Weight about 1§ pounds. 
Hale’s Best No. 36—85 Days 
A very early melon. Thick salmon flesh of excep¬ 
tional thickness, oval in shape with heavy netting 
and prominent ribs. The best strain of this valuable 
variety. 8 to 10 days earlier than Rocky Ford. 
Planted in many sections, its chief value being its 
remarkable earliness. The earliest melon shipped 
from California. 
Hearts of Gold or Hoo Doo—90 Days 
An orange fleshed, medium sized, almost round 
shaped, good shipping variety. Fine netting extend¬ 
ing over the whole surface, a fine highly colored 
melon of good shipping qualities. 
Hearts of Gold No. 10—90 Days 
This is a very superior strain of our own selection 
from the famous Hearts of Gold. The cavity is 
very small with a deep salmon flesh, well netted and 
slightly ribbed. It is a very fine variety. 
Osage or Millers Cream—92 Days 
Fruit medium size, oval, slightly ribbed, small cavity, 
dark green in color, covered more or less with a 
shallow netting, flesh deep salmon color and very 
thick. Very valuable for home consumption. 
Pollock No. 10-26—96 Days 
The fruit is quite round, heavily netted, no ribs, 
small cavity, excellent flavor, identical to Rocky 
Ford except the flesh is salmon tinted. This variety 
has a reputation of being the best rust-resistant of 
any Melon. We cannot praise our stocks of this 
too highly. 
Surprise or Tip Top—95 Days 
Very productive, medium size, fruit nearly round 
although sometimes a little flat, color grayish green, 
deep ribbed and very little if any netting. Flesh 
“deep salmon,” sweet and of such exquisite flavor 
that it has put this sort in high favor with the 
melon specialist, not only in northern New York 
State, but wherever quality is of prime importance. 
Surprise, Bender’s—96 Days 
This is larger than ordinary Surprise, ribbed slightly, 
hard and netted. Its coarse netting, heavy rind gives 
it good shipping qualities. The shape is similar to 
Surprise or Tip Top.
