A line field of Hale's Best. Burrell's Itunbo. The melons are piled as shown in 
the picture and then graded and hand cut. The girls are Barbara and Bemita 
Burrell. 
Hale's Best, Burrell's Jumbo Hale’s Best produced some very 
'■ ■ i.i ■ large fine melons that were ex¬ 
ceptionally 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 produced 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 about 4% lbs. each, which would mean 
that the melons pack nine or even less to the Jumbo fiat crate. Well netted 
between the distinct suture, practically no ribs. Flesh is thick, deep salmon, 
rtavor sweet and of fine eating quality. Because of its firm fiesh it holds up 
and keeps longer than any other H. B.
