Hale's Best Cantaloupe No. 36 

HALE’S BEST NO. 36 
One of the oldest Improved Selections made from the Hale’s Best Variety 
being introduced in 1932, yet the Number 36 is still one of the largest selling 
varieties of this strain and is known in every district where cantaloupes are 
produced. It can be grown for almost any purpose, home gardens, roadside stands, 
hauling by truck or packing for distant markets. 
The melons run large and very uniform in size, have slightly oval shape, the 
flesh is a salmon color of an excellent flavor; seed cavity being much smaller than 
the original Hale’s Best. The Number 36 is an extra heavy yielder due to the vines 
being strong and hardy and is among the earliest to mature for the market. Will 
mature in 85 to 90 days. 
PRICE: Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 4% Ib. 35c; % Ib. 65c; 1 Ib. $1.25; 5 to 10 Ibs. @ $1.10 per lb.

Resistant No. 8 
(Also No. 8-1 which is a selection from No. 8) 
These melons run extra large and have a very heavy strong vine growth; they 
are attractive and well netted, have thick flesh and small seed cavity; are a few 
days later in maturing than the Hale’s Best variety but have wonderful shipping and 
carrying qualities. Due to the large sizes are used in many districts even though 
not troubled with Mildew, where growers require a melon for roadside markets and 
loose hauling to market by truck.
