HALE’S BEST 
CANTALOUPES 
NEW EARLY HALES BEST is a selection from the original strain of this most popu¬ 
lar cantaloupe. This melon runs extremely large so that it is more adapted to 
roadside market selling and for bulk hauling in trucks. They average about 4Vz 
pounds each and would pack 9 or less in a jumbo flat crate. Well netted between 
the distinct suture with practically no ribs. Flesh is thick, deep salmon, sweet 
and of fine eating quality. 85 days. 
Prices Postpaid: Ounce 15c; M pound 40c; Vz pound 70c; 1 pound $1.25 
2 pounds $2.40; 5 pounds $5.50; 10 pounds $10.00. 
HALES BEST NO. 10 is recommended for those districts where the No. 36 grows too 
large. For that trade we recommend the H. B. No. 10. Maturing in about 87 
days it packs 15 to the flat. The netting is finer and more closely spaced than 
the H. B. No. 36. Flesh is thick, deep salmon, sweet and of fine flavor. In 
outward appearance it resembles our Perfected Perfecto.
