HALE’S BEST, JUMBO—85 days. This Jumbo selection is so large that they are more 
adapted for roadside sale than for crating. They will average about 41/2 pounds and 
would pack 9 or less to the jumbo flat crate. A very uniform type having a distinct 
stripe running from the stem to blossom end. Measuring 62 by 6 inches they are well 
netted between the distinct sutures, with practically no ribs. The flesh is thick, deep 
salmon, sweet flavored and of the finest eating qualities.

Hales Best 
HALE’S BEST NO. 36—85 days. Since introduction in 1931 this variety has continued 
to be one of the leading strains for the market grower. So uniform in size and shape, 
measuring 5/2 by 6 inches and packing 12 to the jumbo flat crate, there is no loss from 
off sizes. Very solidly netted, no ribs, and little if any sutures. The flesh is deep, very 
fine grained, rich, spicy and a deep salmon color. An excellent, uniform strain of Hale's 
Best for any requirement.

HALE’S BEST NO. 936—85 days. Selected from the No. 36 this melon is the most 
uniform of all the Hale’s Best strains. While many firms list this variety under various 
names | have yet to see a better Hale’s Best strain than our No. 936. Our planting 
stocks are taken from the very earliest of the crown-set melons, from heavy producing 
plants. The melons are then selected for their uniformity in size, shape, netting and 
interior qualities. In this way | am able to keep this strain up to the standard that | 
have set for a PERFECT HALE’S BEST. Slightly larger than the No. 36 the No. 936 
carries a perfect net; has no sectors and runs to even Jumbo sizes. The vines are very 
hardy and vigorous, producing a crop of perfectly uniform melons. Measuring 6 by 5 Y2 
inches they will pack 12 melons to the jumbo crate. The flesh is a rich salmon, very 
thick and with a very small seed cavity. One of the principal characteristics of the No. 
936 is its uniformity, and high percentage of salable melons.
