ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 

Seed Breeders 
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 uni- 
form 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.
