Hale’s Best Cantaloupe 
CANTALOUPES 
One ounce to 100 hills; 2 pounds per acre. 
ROCKY FORD Green Fleshed (90 days). 
A small green fleshed melon of the oval 
type weighing about 2 pounds. Probably 
one of the most widely known and exten¬ 
sively grown in its class. 
POLLOCK 10-25. ..Salmon tint. Similar to 
Rocky Ford other than color of the meat. 
HALE’S BEST (85 days). Flesh deep sal¬ 
mon. Melons oval, about 6 by 6 Y 2 inches, 
with heavy netting. Where a salmon fleshed 
melon is desired, this variety has been re¬ 
garded the best in its class since its intro¬ 
duction. However, some of our growers now 
prefer Hale’s Imperial No. 45. 
HALE’S IMPERIAL No. 45 (86 days). 
Flesh deep salmon. Mildew resistant. An 
early variety developed for shipping trade. 
A true Hale’s Best and recommended to 
plant where mildew is prevalent. Seed can¬ 
not be jarred loose, remains edible and 
really is better 10 days after picking. Must 
be picked full slip or dead ripe. Being 
picked full ripe it has a delicious flavor and 
is the best long-distance shipper, holding up 
after reaching market much longer than 
other sorts. 
PRIDE OF WISCONSIN (90 days). Bright 
salmon. Size 6x6^ inches. A new intro¬ 
duction. Rind very hard, pearly gray color. 
Heavily covered with distinctive netting. 
Ripens to a yellowish shade. Flesh thick 
and excellent flavor. Recommended when 
a larger cantaloupe than the Rocky Ford is 
preferred. 
LARGE HACKENSACK. Green fleshed. 
Large, round, but flattened on the ends. 
BANANA (94 days). A long melon. Grow¬ 
ing about 20 inches. Lemon colored skin 
when matured. Salmon colored flesh. Strict¬ 
ly a home melon.
