Hales Best Jumbo Special 

Hales Best Jumbo SPECIAL piled ready to cut for seed. These melons run longer 
from stem to blossom end than the photo seems to show. 
A MONEY VARIETY This has always been a leading money variety ever since its in- 
troduction. It is increasing in popularity in recent years in many 
melon sections. There are several reasons for this continued popularity; it is early; it is 
large; it is high yielding. 
LARGE SIZE This is the largest of the Hales Best varieties. It is a leading road- 
side variety, and very popular for bulk or truck trade. While not 
as uniform in size and shape as Hales Best No. 936, or other Hales Best types, it is popular in 
many sections where all the melons are crated because of its large size. Under good condi- 
Hons melons average about 64% x 6 inches, and weigh about 4Y% pounds. 
WELL NETTED As shown by the photo this melon is covered with a heavy net. A 
characteristic of Hales Best Jumbo is the distinct stripe or suture 
running from the stem to the blossom end, but practically without ribs. This stripe or suture 
causes the melons to appear larger in size. 
SHIPPING QUALITIES From its introduction Hales Best Jumbo rated one of the best ship- 
pers, whether crated for long distance, or in bulk for truck trade. 
The deep colored salmon flesh is thick, sweet flavored, and of fine eating quality. Many 
experienced shippers believe that it holds up in quality and keeps longer than other Hales 
Best types. 
HIGH YIELDING High yields is one of the qualities that has put this melon over in a 
big way with growers. When properly fertilized the vines make a 
hardy and vigorous growth. If you have proper fertility and a good season you will get real 
size and yield from this variety.
