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.
