HALE’S BEST NO. 36 
A warm, sandy loam is best for raising mel- 
ons. Plant early in the spring, 8 seeds in each 
hill. After they are well started thin to about 
3 plants to each hill. An ounce will plant 60 
hills; 2 or 3 pounds to the acre. We strive to 
supply melon seed of the highest quality. We 
have them grown where they reach the highest 
point of perfection by the most reliable grow- 
ers, and are in a position to offer strains far 
superior to the commonly sold commercial 
grades. Many testimonials from thoroughly 
pleased customers show that our efforts to sup- 
ply only the best are appreciated. 
ROCKY FORD—This is the melon that 
made Rocky Ford famous. The flesh 
is green, very deep, solid and sweet, 
and can be eaten close to the rind. 
The seed cavity is very small. 
HALE'S BEST No. 36—TIs the standard 
of its class. Ready for the market 
in 85 days. Solidly netted, no ribs. 
The rich, spicy salmon flesh is deep, 
fine grained and will hold up well 
for long distance shipping. 
OSAGE, or MILLER'S CREAM—One of 
the finest and most popular salmon- 
fleshed muskmelons. The fruits are 
large, usually nearly three times 
the size of the Rocky Ford, with skin 
moderately netted and of oblong 
shape. 
HEARTS OF GOLD—This melon runs 
very uniform in size and is a splen- 
did shipping variety. The melons 
~ are oval to oblong in shape and are 
a little larger than the Rocky Ford. 
While it is a ribbed melon the ribs 
are not prominent and the melons 
are very heavily netted. The flesh is 
rich orange color, fine grain and of 
excellent flavor. Seed cavity is small. 
It doesn’t turn yellow when ripe, but 
retains its natural color and re- 
mains solid and firm for days after 
it is picked from the vine. 
HONEY DEW MELON—The fruits are 
of medium size, round or slightly 
oval, 5 to 6 inches in diameter and 
weigh about 6 pounds each. Flesh 
light emerald green, fine grained 
and of very sweet, sugary flavor. 
Rind thin but very firm and the 
fruit stands shipping remarkably 
well. If picked shortly before ma- 
ture the fruits will keep for several 
weeks. Matures about two weeks 
later than Rocky Ford. 
IMPROVED BANANA—Produces fruit 
of the finest quality, 14% to 2% feet 
long; rind thin and comparatively 
tough; flesh of a beautiful reddish 
salmon color, of excellent flavor; 
withstands the heat to perfection; 
fine for family use. 
WATERMELONS---Sweet and Juicy 
Our watermelon seed is grown especially for 
us in the South and selected from the very best 
melons. Southern-grown watermelon seed is 
always the best and the quality of the melons 
the very highest, as has been proven. A trial 
order will convince you our seed is first-class 
in every respect. 
MOUNTAIN HOOSIER—Is a large, 
round melon, in color a very rich, 
dark green with a slightly bluish 
bloom. Flesh deep, bright red, seed 
white with black points and slight 
black markings. Quality is excel- 
lent. Weight up to 60 lbs. Vines are 
hardy and prolific, the melons very 
attractive in appearance and the red 
meat is sweet, free from stringiness, 
of good texture and usually cut 
solid. Shy seeder. 
DIXIE QUEEN—A new round melon of 
striking appearance. Light and 
green striped, very showy. Thin, 
tough rind; flesh bright scarlet, 
solid, of fine texture. Quality unsur- 
passed. Seed very small, white. 
Vines vigorous, prolific. Melons uni- 
form in size and appearance, 30 to 
40 lbs. Destined to become a leader 
for home gardens, local markets and 
shipping. Has fewer seed than 
other varieties. 
IMPROVED KLECKLEY'S SWEET—One 
of the earliest, best and sweetest 
flavored melons in cultivation. On 
account of its thin rind, it will not 
stand shipment to distant markets, 
but it is the best that can be grown 
for the home and nearby markets. 
The skin is dark green. The flesh is 
scarlet, firm, solid and of delightful 
flavor. 
STONE MOUNTAIN—While this melon 
is rather new it is fast becoming a 
great favorite in many sections of 
the South, Middle West and South- 
west. It grows large; rather round 
in shape and dark green in color. 
The fiesh is a deep red, has but a 
few seeds and the flavor is all that 
could be desired. 
BLACK DIAMOND—A desirable all- 
purpose melon which is used exten- 
sively for shipping in some sections. 
Vines vigorous and prolific. Fruits 
very large, dark green, nearly 
round. Flesh bright red, crisp and 
sweet. 
FLORIDA GIANT—The flesh is rich red, 
seeds black, quality usually very 
good—under favorable weather and 
soil conditions excellent. Grows 
round and extra large. Sometimes 
70 pounds or better.

SMITH WATSON—Grows in shape and 
size about the same as the regular 
Watson, but has distinct markings 
in the form of irregular stripes. A 
good shipper and eating quality, 
considered better than other types 
of Watson. 
TOM WATSON—The most popular 
shipping melon grown. The melons 
are large, long and green, like 
Kleckley’s Sweet, but with a tougher 
rind, giving it excellent shipping 
qualities. The flesh is a rich red, 
solid, sweet, and luscious, and ripens 
up close to the rind. 
PORTO RICAN—A golden fleshed mel- 
on, very tender and has a most de- 
licious flavor. It is medium early, 
of large, uniform size, oblong shape. 
This has no hard core or stringy 
sections.
