Jumbo Hale’s Best 
The Large Popular Strain 

The Jumbo Hale's Best is a large fruited strain of this popular variety that is 
exceptionally well adapted to local markets. Because of its large sizes it is not a 
melon for the best commercial purposes. 
The Jumbo strain of the Hale's Best has the thick salmon flesh, the sweetness and 
the excellent quality of the other strains. The fruit will weigh about 5 pounds and is 
heavily netted with a distinct suture. The cavity is rather large, but the flesh does 
not break down readily. The vines of the Jumbo Hale's Best are vigorous in growth 
and well able to mature the large melons they produce. The Jumbo will mature in 
about 85 to 90 days. 
Because of its large sizes and its fine quality, the Jumbo Hale's Best is increasingly in 
demand from the market gardeners. The home gardener, too, will be well pleased 
with this cantaloupe. We can recommend it to you.
