The Seed Breeders 
One of the Leading Hale's Best Strains 

The Seed Breeders is our most popular strain of the Hale's Best Variety because. 
of its earliness and uniformity. _ 
The Seed Breeders is a melon with a thick, firm, salmon colored flesh of very fine 
flavor. The seed cavity is small and compact. The melons are slightly oval, firm and 
well-netted, making splendid shippers. The Seed Breeders strain runs to even jumbo 
sizes. The vigorous vine produces a slightly earlier melon and is more prolific than 
other Hale's Best strains. Maturing in 80 to 85 days, it is earlier than other strains. 
Its fruit is more uniform in size and shape. 
In testimony to its excellence, the Seed Breeders was used as foundation stock 
in the development of such new varieties as the Purdue 44 and the Texas Resistant 
No. |. Having developed the Seed Breeders ourselves, we can offer you some fine 
stock of this variety. If you want early cantaloupes, the Seed Breeders has proven 
itself to be the finest in flavor and quality.
