THE SEED BREEDERS is our most popular strain of the Hale’s Best variety, because of its 
earliness and uniformity. We have, for several seasons, sold more seed of this strain than 
any other Hale’s Best, which is an indication of its success both in the field and on the 
markets. 
The Seed Breeders is a melon with a thick, firm salmon colored flesh of very fine 
flavor. The seed cavity is small and compact, well filled with seed. The melons are slightly 
oval, firm and well netted, making splendid shippers. Even jumbo sizes are characteristic 
of this strain. The vigorous vine of the Seed Breeders produces a slightly earlier melon and 
is more prolific than other Hale’s Best strains. 
The Hale’s Best is the most popular cantaloupe in use in the country today. We take 
considerable pride in the fact that we developed the Hale’s Best and introduced it in 1924. 
Since it has remained in popular usage for over twenty years, this fact becomes proof of its 
inherent superiority and testifies to the fine improvement work that has been done with the 
different strains of this variety. We are sure there is no better strain of Hale’s Best than the 
Seed Breeders. Maturing in about 85 days it is earlier than other strains. Its fruit is more 
uniform in size and shape. And in addition the Seed Breeders has all the fine flavor and 
quality that makes the Hale’s Best so popular.
