A fine field of Hale’s Best. Burrell’s Jumbo. The melons are piled 
as shown in the picture and then graded and seeded. 
Hale's Best, Burrell's Jumbo 85 days. The original 
stocks of Hale’s Best pro- 
duced some very large fine melons that were exceptionally well 
adapted to roadside market selling and for bulk hauling in trucks. 
They were so extremely large, however, that they were hardly as 
well suited to packing in crates as some of the smaller types. By 
critical selection we have produced a uniform type of this having a 
distinct stripe or suture running from stem to blossom end. It is a 
big melon; the average weight from our seed fields being about 414 
pounds each, which would mean that the melons pack nine or even 
less to the Jumbo flat crate. Well netted between the distinct suture, 
practically no ribs. Flesh is thick, deep salmon, flavor sweet and of 
fine eating quality. Because of its firm flesh it holds up and keeps 
longer than any other H. B.
