No. 112 Hale’s Best 
HE No. 112 was one of our first improved strains of the Hale’s Best, and 
is still preferred over some of the newer strains in certain cantaloupe sections. 
Larger sizes is the most distinctive characteristic of the No. 112 that sets it 
apart from other Hale’s Best strains. Otherwise it retains the H. B. traits of earli- 
ness, prolificness, and fine flavor. The melons run to the twelve flat pack size, are 
heavy and well netted. The salmon flesh is thick, and well flavored. The vine is 
strong and hardy, producing a heavy crop. 
For a Hale’s Best of larger sizes, we recommended the No. 112.

Melons like these Hale’s Bests are playing an important part in meeting the 
food requirements of the nation. 
Early May 
HE EARLY MAY is a Hale’s Best type with particular emphasis placed 
upon the features that recommend it to the market gardener. The Early 
May is an early maturing melon, and its deep golden fleshed meat makes it an 
attractive melon for the local market and the roadside stand. It is round and well 
netted and runs to even standard and jumbo thirty-sixes. 
Many customers have found that the Early May is the best of the Hale’s Best 
strains for sale in roadside stands and local markets. Since this strain has been 
tested and used for several years with success, you need have no fear in ordering 
it for your garden.
