A small green fleshed melon of the oval 
type weighing about 2 pounds. Probably 
ene 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. They are earlier 
than any of the other Hale’s Bests, more 
prolific, that is more melons produced per 
acre. Its extreme earliness 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. For production within trucking dis- 
tance 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 for shipping trade. A true 
Hale’s Best. Seed cannot be jarred loose, re- 
mains edible and really is better 10 days 
after packing. Must be picked full slip or 
dead ripe. Being full ripe it has a delicious 
flavor and is the best long-distance shipper, 
holding up after reaching market much long- 
er than other sorts.

ing about 20 inches. Lemon colored skin 
when matured. Salmon colored flesh. Strict- 
ly a home melon.
