Hales Best 
<^cAfo. 36 ^HiEAt 
The No. 36, which we introduced in 1931, has been described as “so wonderfully 
uniform that is an outstanding breeding accomplishment." It is now a standard 
melon because it is known wherever cantaloupes are grown. 
No. 36 is an even jumbo in size, solidly netted with no ribs. The melons are 
heavy and solid with a small seed cavity. The spicy salmon flesh is firm and smooth. 
In the No. 36 are combined the best features of the Hale’s Best variety. 
The earliness of the No. 36 has been an important factor in establishing it as 
a universally planted melon. Its splendid shipping qualities make it a leading 
commercial strain. 
Our work with the No. 36 has convinced us of its excellence for home and 
market gardens and for shipping purposes. You will make no mistake in using 
the No. 36 Hale’s Best.

^o. 112 C.—^ f ^ 
The No. 112 was one of our first improved strains of the Hale’s Best and is still 
preferred in some sections over some of the newer introductions. 
The No. 112 is a slightly larger cantaloupe than the No. 36 and will usually 
run twelve to the flat crate. The melons are heavy and well-netted. The flesh is 
thick, golden and well flavored. 
Like all other strains of the Hale’s Best the No. 112 is early, hardy and prolific. 
This is a standard strain of proven worth.
