This brief description will give you an accurate idea of the type of melon offered 
in the Seed Breeders. There are two characteristics of this cantaloupe, however, that 
we wish to discuss more in detail. The first of these is its earliness. We have supplied 
seed to experimental stations in all sections of the country, and their tests have 
shown that the Seed Breeders is the earliest, most uniform and highest in quality 
of the Hale’s Best cantaloupes. The Seed Breeders matures in 85 to 90 days and 
this earliness means that you will be able to get melons on the market when prices 
are best. The second characteristic of the Seed Breeders that recommends it to you 
is its uniformity. This uniformity and lack of cull melons serves to increase materi- 
ally the percentage of salable melons. This is an important factor in increasing your 
profits from your cantaloupe crop. 
The Hale’s Best is the most popular commercial cantaloupe in use in the country 
today. We developed the Hale’s Best and introduced it in 1924. All the leading strains 
of this cantaloupe are also our introductions. Our close association with and know- 
ledge of this melon enables us to give you accurate and definite information about it. 
It is our opinion that the Seed Breeders is the best of the Hale’s Best strains. This 
opinion is verified by the fact that more growers use this strain than any other. 
Because of the widespread use of the Hale’s Best, everyone knows this variety 
and it is necessary for us to urge you to plant it. If you are using the H. B. this 
season you will find the Seed Breeders the best strain of this popular variety.
