Nine Thirty-Six 
The Nine Thirty-Six is one of the popular Hale's Best strains. Like all Hale’s Bests, 
it is an early melon, maturing in 85 to 90 days. The Nine Thirty-Six has a fine 
flavor and good shipping qualities. The melons are well netted with no sectors 
and run to even jumbo sizes. The flesh is thick and salmon colored and the 
seed cavity is small and tight. The Nine Thirty-Six has an excellent flavor and 
a high sugar content. The vines of this variety are vigorous and “set” and hold 
a heavy crop of cantaloupes. 
The Nine Thirty-Six was developed by us and introduced in 1934. Tests 
conducted by ourselves, our customers and experiment stations throughout the 
country have demonstrated that the Nine Thirty-Six is adaptable to every 
cantaloupe section. Since their introduction the Nine Thirty-Six and the Seed 
Breeders have accounted for the greater portion of the Hale’s Best seed sold 
throughout the country. All progressive cantaloupe growers are now acquainted 
with the Nine Thirty-Six, which has become one of the recognized standard 
melons. The grower who is particularly interested in a combination of high 
quality and earliness in his cantaloupes never hesitates in planting the Nine 
Thirty-Six.
