Cantaloupes 
(Small to Medium Size) 
Hale’s Best (Jumbo or Original). This cantaloupe, 
while of recent introduction, has become extremely 
popular. This popularity is due to three reasons: Ist, 
earliness, it is 10 days earlier than any other canta- 
loupe; 2d, large size, being larger than any of the 
Rocky Ford varieties; 3d, flavor, which is excellent, 
being equal to the best cantaloupes. The fruits are 
large, round and somewhat ribbed. Flesh is salmon 
colored, fine grained, a good keeper and shipper. It is 
a very valuable melon. 86 days. 
Hale’s Best No. 36. 87 days. A selection from the 
original strain to a slightly smaller and more 
uniform type. One of the best varieties for long dis- 
tance shipping. Fruits run very uniform with little 
or no ribbing. Heavy netting. Seed cavity small. 
Flesh firm, sweet, and spicy. Ideal for home and 
market garden.

Newest development in powdery mildew resistant

salmon orange, firm, sweet, and spicy. 
Hearts of Gold. The vines are vigorous, blight resisting 
and very productive. The fruit varies slightly in shape,

fine over the entire surface. Rind, although thin, is very
