In comparison with the Seed Breeders, described on the opposite page, we do 
not believe that the Nine Thirty-Six is either quite as early or as uniform. How- 
ever, we have found that some sections prefer the Nine Thirty-Six to any other 
Hale’s Best strain. Because both the Seed Breeders and the Nine Thirty-Six are 
splendid melons, we have given them equal prominence in our catalog. We can as- 
sure you that you will make no mistake in planting either or both of these Hale’s 
Best strains. 
The Nine Thirty-Six was developed by us and introduced in 1934. Tests con- 
ducted by ourselves, our customers and experiment stations throughout the country 
have demonstrated that the Nine Thirty-Six is adaptable to every cantaloupe section. 
Since their introduction the Nine Thirty-Six and the Seed Breeders have accounted 
for the greater portion of the Hale’s Best seed sold throughout the country. This 
continued and mounting popularity is proof of the solid virtues of this melon. 
Whether you want a melon for shipping purposes, a melon for your roadside 
stand, or a melon for use in your own home, you will find the Nine Thirty-Six always 
meeting your needs. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 20c; '4 pound, 65c; 14 pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00;

The Nine Thirty-Six is one of the leading cantaloupes. This early Hales Best 
strain is successful wherever cantaloupes are grown,
