Hale’s Best Cantaloupe No. 36 

HALE’S BEST NO. 36 
One of the oldest Improved Selections made from the Hale’s Best Variety being 
introduced in 1932, yet the Number 36 is still one of the largest selling varieties 
of this strain and is known in every district where cantaloupes are produced. It 
can be grown for almost any purpose, home gardens, roadside stands, hauling 
by truck or packing for distant markets. 
The melons run large and very uniform in size, have slightly oval shape, 
the flesh is a salmon color of an excellent flavor; seed cavity being much 
smaller than the original Hale’s Best. The Number 36 is an extra heavy yielder 
due to the vines being strong and hardy and is among the earliest to mature 
for the market. Will mature in 85 to 90 days.

Early Hale’s Best Cantaloupe 
Hale’s Best is the best known cantaloupe in the United States and our seed 
is all grown from our personally selected stock seed. The melons run mostly 
jumbo sizes; a percentage showing slight rib and faint stripe, yet retaining the 
extreme earliness. The flesh is deep salmon colored, firm and of excellent 
quality. It is a splendid shipper, staying firm for days after being picked.
