days. The original stocks of Hale’s 
naIG S DGST| DUriGil S UUlTIDO Best produced some very large fine 
- melons that were exceptionally well 
adapted to roadside market selling and for bulk hauling in trucks. They were 
so extremely large, however, that they were hardly as well suited to packing 
in crates as some of the smaller types. By critical selection we have pro¬ 
duced a uniform type of this having a distinct stripe or suture running from 
stem to blossom end. It is a big melon; the average weight from our seed 
fields being abO'Ut 4% lbs. each, which would mean that the melons pack 
nine or even less to the Jumbo flat crate. Well netted between the distinct 
suture, practically no ribs. Flesh is thick, deep salmon, flavor sweet and of 
fine eating quality. Because of its firm flesh it holds up and keeps longer 
than any other H. B.

87 days. In some of the growing sections 
where melons naturally grow too large, 
there is call for a melon slightly smaller 
than the H. B. No. 36. For this trade, we recommend the H. B. No. 10. 
Netting is finer and more closely spaced than the H. B. No. 36. In size and 
exterior appearance, it resembles Burrell's Superfecto. Packs 16’s. Flesh thick, 
deep salmon, sweet and of fine quality.
