ROCKY FORD CAHNTALOUPE SEED 

No. 112 Hale’s Best 
The 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 distinctive characteristic of the No. 112 that sets it apart 
from other Hale’s Best strains. Otherwise 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.
