Cantaloupe 
This is the Improved H. B. No. 36; Better Than Ever Before. 
Tmnrovorl H "R days. la a beautiful melon; highly 
**^*^*^^^^ flavored, really good to eat and has proven 
its worth by becoming the most popular 
cantaloupe with large shippers the past several seasons. So wonderfully uni¬ 
form that it is an outstanding breeding accomplishment. In size it is large, 
packing mostly 36’s or using the Jumbo flat crate 12’s. Melon is solidly 
netted, little if any suture and no ribs. The rich, spicy salmon flesh is deep, 
fine grained and holds up well for long distance shipping. While primarily 
bred for the shipping trade, its many fine qualities make it ideal for road¬ 
side market and home gardens. Wherever cantaloupes are grown, we recom¬ 
mend this melon to melon growers; for north—where the seasons are short— 
for south to be first on the market with a real good cantaloupe. The only 
exception to this would be in districts where powdery mildew is prevalent, 
in which case we would recommend the New Powdery Mildew Resistant 
No. 45.

being preferred by some shippers. Diameter slightly 
but shorter in length. Flesh extremely thick.
