This is the Improved H. B. No. 36; Better Than Ever Before. 
Improved H B. No. 36 58 _ ays. Is a beautiful melon; 
highly flavored, really good to eat 
and has proven its worth by becoming a most popular cantaloupe 
with large shippers the past several seasons. So wonderfully uni- 
form that it is an outstanding breeding accomplishment. In size 
it is large, packing mostly 36’s or using the Jumbo flat crate 12’s. 
Melon is solidly netted, little if any suture and no ribs. The rich, 
spicy salmon flesh is deep, fine grained and holds up well for long 
distance shipping. While primarily bred for the shipping trade, its 
many fine qualities make it ideal for roadside market and home gar- 
dens. Wherever cantaloupes are grown, we recommend this melon to 
melon growers; for north—where the seasons are short—for south 
to be first on the market with a real good cantaloupe. The only 
exception to this would be in districts where powdery mildew is 
prevalent, in which case we would recommend the Powdery Mildew 
Resistant No. 45 or the D-2 Resistant.

grained, and distinctly flavored. Melons medium large, round, well 
netted except a narrow stripe between narrow ribs. Very firm and 
ships well for moderate distances.
