A Pile of Hales Best No. 36—Better than ever before. 
HALES BEST No. 36, 85 days. Introduced in 1931 this variety has continued to 
be the standard cantaloupe for the market grower. So uniform in size and shape, 
measuring 54% by 6 inches and packing 12 to the jumbo flat crate, that there is 
no losses from off sizes. Very solidly netted, no ribs, and little if any sutures. The 
flesh is deep, very fine grained, rich, spicy and a deep salmon color. An excellent, 
uniform strain of Hales Best for any requirement.

HALES BEST No. 936, 85 days. A selection from the No. 36 this melon is the 
crowning achievement of the Hales Best selections. While many seed houses list 
this variety under various names, the fact remains that the No. 936 is the last 
word in Hales Best selections. I continue, each year, to make selections from 
this variety to keep it up to its high standard. Our breeding stock is taken from 
the earliest crownset melons, from heavy producing vines. These melons are then 
selected for their uniformity in size, shape, netting and interior quality. Each 
melon is as near like its fellow as peas in a pod. In this way I am able to keep 
this melon at the top of Hales Best strains. Slightly larger than the 'No. 36 the 
No. 936 is perfectly netted; has no sectors and runs to even jumbo sizes. The 
vines are very vigorous and hardy, producing a heavy crop of perfect melons. 
The melons measure 6 inches in length by 5% inches in diameter, packing 12 
jumbo melons to a crate. The flesh is a rich salmon, very thick and with a small 
seed cavity, One of the principal characteristics of the ‘No. 936 is its uniformity. 
This fact is important to you for it increases the percentage of saleable melons, 
nearly every melon is perfect in every way.
