No. 112 Hales Best 
Tue 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 dis- 
tinctive characteristics of the No. 112 that sets it apart from other Hale’s Best strains. Other- 
wise 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.
