H. B. 1939 
H D 1 QOQ 85 days. The H. B. varieties are unquestionably the leaders 
■ 1009 with cantaloupe shippers except in districts where there is 
‘ powdery mildew. So much work is being done in the way 
of improving stocks and so many strains introduced that we have decided each 
year to list what we consider to be the best from the shipper s standpoint as 
that year’s model, hence the 1939. This is about the same size as the Im¬ 
proved H. B. No. 36, although it holds its size better late in the picking sea¬ 
son. Color and texture of flesh the same, but hardly as thick meated. Net¬ 
ting heaviest of the H. B.’s and is less inclined to run to slick melons in the 
later pickings than any of these strains yet introduced.

Burrell's Superfecto

is especially recommended for planting where 
■melons are inclined to rust. Pack 12 to 15 to 
the Jumbo flat crate. The netting is well developed and closely laced, cover¬ 
ing the entire melon “Solid Net.’’ Flesh, rich orange salmon, thick, and seed 
cavity very small; quality is unexcelled, flesh is flne grained, very sweet and 
spicy. The best cantaloupe for late market.
