A new development in a ship¬ 
ping type of Hales Best Canta¬ 
loupe. It has been developed 
primarily for its uniformity 
and it is claimed that this 
stock will out-yield other Hales 
Best strains about 25% be¬ 
cause of fewer cull melons. A 
report from State Experiment 
Stations indicates that the new 
Seed Breeders is about three 
days earlier than any other 
Hales Best strain. It resembles 
the No. 36 Hales Best in gen¬ 
eral appearance except, per¬ 
haps the flesh is a darker shade 
of pink. It was developed by 
the Rocky Ford Cantaloupe 
Seed Breeders Association.

Principal use: Shipping 
A small, early, uniform stock 
of the Hales Best type devel¬ 
oped at Rocky Ford, Colorado 
in recent years. It is of ideal 
size for packing and shipping 
and carries equally well in com¬ 
parison with other melons of 
its class. It is heavily netted 
and the flesh is perhaps thick¬ 
er than in some of the other 
stocks of Hales Best.
