Hale’s Best Cantaloupe 
CANTALOUPES 
One ounce to 100 hills; 2 pounds per acre. 
ROCKY FORD Green Fleshed (90 days). 
A small green fleshed melon of the oval 
type weighing about 2 pounds. Probably 
one of the most widely known and exten- 
sively grown in its class. 
POLLOCK 10-25. ..Salmon tint. Similar to 
Rocky Ford other than color of the meat. 
HALE’S BEST NO. 36. Salmon flesh. This 
is the smallest of the Hale’s Best strains, 
absolutely uniform, solid net and with a 
remarkably thick flesh. These pack out 
uniformly 86 to a crate. They are earlier 
than any of the other Hale’s Bests, more 
prolific, that is more melons produced per 
acre. This melon has a very definite field 
in the cantaloupe picture. Its extreme earli- 
ness and heavy crops are among its best 
assets. 
HALE’S BEST NO. 936. Salmon flesh. This 
is the next size larger Hale’s Best than the 
No. 36. It runs just a bit irregular, shows 
a little ribbing and, while reasonably well 
netted, yet is used in some directions as the 
Jumbo Hale’s Best. For production within 
trucking distance or moderate distance car- 
lot shipping it works out quite satisfactorily. 
HALE’S IMPERIAL No. 45 (86 days). 
Flesh deep salmon. Mildew resistant. An 
early variety developed for shipping trade. 
A true Hale’s Best and recommended to 
plant where mildew is prevalent. Seed can- 
not be jarred loose, remains edible and 
really is better 10 days after picking. Must 
be picked full slip or dead ripe. Being 
picked full ripe it has a delicious flavor and 
is the best long-distance shipper, holding up 
after reaching market much longer than 
other sorts. 

For Prices Refer to Green List Enclosed. 

PRIDE OF WISCONSIN (90 days). Bright 
salmon. Size 6x6% inches. A new intro- 
duction. Rind very hard, pearly gray color. 
Heavily covered with distinctive netting. 
Ripens to a yellowish shade. Flesh thick 
and excellent flavor. Recommended when 
a larger cantaloupe than the Rocky Ford is 
preferred. 
LARGE HACKENSACK. Green fleshed. 
Large, round, but flattened on the ends. 
BANANA (94 days). A long melon. Grow- 
ing about 20 inches. Lemon colored skin 
when matured. Salmon colored flesh. Strict- 
ly a home melon. 
SWEET CORN 
14 Ib. to 100 feet, 15 Ibs. per acre. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN (95 days). A 
standard late variety, very valuable for 
canning and much grown for market. Ker- 
nels very deep; ears 8 inches long. White, 
sweet and tender. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMEN (Shoe Peg) (95 
days). Regarded by many as the sweetest 
of all sweet corn. Ears 7 to 8 inches long; 
cob small, covered with slender white grains 
without row formation. 
GOLDEN BANTAM |(80 days). Early, 
golden in color, and of highest quality. Ears 
6 to 7 inches long; 8 rowed. An ideal sort 
for the home garden. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM (88 days). 
This hybrid is one of the best and most pro- 
lific of the yellow sweet corns, bred for wilt 
resistance, high yield and quality. Ears 8 
to 10 inches long and yielding about 40 per 
cent more marketable ears than Golden 
Bantam. 

Golden Bantam Sweet Corn 
EARLY ADAMS (60 days). Not a sugar 
corn, but grown extensively for table use. 
Can be planted earlier than sugar corn, 
which makes it a valuable first crop sort. 
Produces ears 7 to 8 inches long. Fairly 
sweet and tender. 
TRUCKER’S FAVORITE (65 to 70 days). 
Although not a sugar corn it makes the 
finest roasting ears. No early garden corn 
is so extensively grown. Attractive ears 9 
to 11 inches long, with tender, sweet grains. 
Ready for table or market in about 65 days.
