A fine field of cantaloupe, Burrell's Jumbo. The melons are piled 
as shown in the picture and then graded and seeded. 
Burrell's Jumbo 85 days. The original stock of Hale’s Best 
produced some very large fine melons that 
were exceptionally well adapted to roadside market selling and for 
bulk hauling in trucks. They were so extremely large, however, 
that they were hardly as well suited to packing in crates as some 
of the smaller types. By critical selection we produced a uniform 
type of this having a distinct stripe or suture running from stem 
to blossom end. It is a big melon; the average weight from our 
seed fields being about 4% pounds each, which would mean that 
the melons pack nine or even less to the Jumbo flat crate. Well 
netted between the distinct suture, practically no ribs. Flesh is 
thick, deep salmon, flavor sweet and of fine eating quality. Because 
of its firm flesh it holds up and keeps longer than H. B.

Hales Best, Burrell's Jumbo Use Burrell’s Jumbo, 
our new name for this 
variety because inferior stocks are being offered by some under 
the name Jumbo Hales Best. 
H. B. 936 82 days. Developed from the No. 36, but more 
uniform in size as it holds up uniformly late in 
the season in this respect; color and texture of the flesh the same, 
but hardly as thick meated. Netting heaviest of the H.B.’s and 
not inclined to run to slick melons in the later pickings.
