so large that they are.more adapted for roadside sale than for crating. They will average 
about 4/2 pounds and would pack 9 or less to the jumbo flat crate. A very uniform

HALE’S BEST NO. 936—85 days. Selected from the No. 36 this melon is. the most uni- 
form of all the Hale’s Best strains. While many firms list this variety under various 
names | have yet to see a better Hale’s Best strain than our No. 936. Our planting stocks 
are taken from the very earliest of the crown-set melons, from heavy producing plants. 
The melons are then selected for their uniformity in size, shape, netting and interior 
qualities. In this way | am able to keep this strain up to the standard that | have set for 
a PERFECT HALE’S BEST. Slightly larger than the No. 36, the No. 936 carries a perfect 
net; has no sectors and runs to even Jumbo sizes. The vines are very hardy and vigorous, 
producing a crop of perfectly uniform melons. Measuring 6 by 5% inches they will 
pack 12 melons to the jumbo crate. The flesh is a rich salmon, very thick and with a very 
small seed cavity. One of the principal characteristics of the No. 936 is its uniformity, 
and high percentage of salable melons.
