ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 

Yo. ll2 Hales Sest 
a 4 
THE 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 distinc- 
tive characteristic of the No. 112 that sets it apart from other Hale’s Best strains. Otherwise 
it retains the H.B. traits of earliness, 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 recommend the No. 112.

THE 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.
