No. 36 Hale’s Best 
The No. 36 Hale’s Best has, since its introduction in 1931, become a standard 
of comparison because of the fact that it is known wherever cantaloupes are grown. 
The No. 36 has become widely used; due to its earliness which recommends it 
to the grower; and its quality which recommends it to the buyer. The size is an 
even jumbo, well netted. The melons are heavy and solid with a small seed cavity. 
The No. 36 has now become the standard and will be used unless a definite 
strain of Hale’s Best is specified. Because of its undeniable excellence some growers 
still prefer to plant the old reliable No. 36.

No. 112 Hale's Best 
The No. 112 was one of our first improved strains of the Hale’s Best and is 
still preferred over some of the newer strains in certain sections. This cantaloupe 
will produce a heavy crop of well netted melons in sizes slightly larger than the 
No. 36. The 112 has a thick, golden, sweet flavored flesh. 
Like all other strains of the Hale’s Best the No. 112 is early, hardy and pro¬ 
lific. This is an old standard strain of proven worth.
