NO. 112 HALES BEST 
The No. 112 was one of our first im- 
proved strains of the Hale’s Best, and is 
still preferred over some of the newer 
strains in certain cantaloupe sections. 
Larger sizes is the most distinctive char- 
acteristic of the No. 112 that sets it apart 
from other Hale’s Best strains. Otherwise 
it retains the H. B. traits of earliness, pro- 
lificness and fine flavor. The melons run 
to the 12 flat pack size and are heavy 
and well netted. The salmon flesh is 
thick and well flavored. The vine is 
strong and hardy, producing a heavy 
crop. 
For typical Hale’s Best quality and for 
medium large sizes, we can recommend 
the No. 112. 
PRICES POSTPAID: Ounce, 20c; '/4 pound, 65c; '/e pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 5 pounds, $8.80. 
EARLY MAY 
The Early May is a Hale's Best type, 
with particular emphasis placed upon 
the qualities demanded by market gar- 
deners. The Early May is an early melon, 
maturing in about 80 days. It has a deep 
golden fleshed meat that is sweet, 
smooth and solid. It is evenly netted, 
round and runs to even standard and 
jumbo 36 sizes. The vines are vigorous 
and produce a heavy crop. 
The Early May is recommended for 
use on local markets and in roadside 
stands, where quality is a prime requi- 
site.

SUPERFECTO 
The Superfecto is a late crop melon, 
maturing in about 90 to 95 days. It is a 
round, well-netted cantaloupe with no 
ridges, giving it an attractive market ap- 
pearance. Its orange flesh is deep and 
fine grained, with a good flavor. The 
seed cavity is smaller than in most can- 
taloupes and is compactly filled. The 
Superfecto runs to the 12 jumbo flat pack 
in size and the melons are very uniform. 
The Superfecto is one of the best 
melons for late markets and is valuable 
in districts where rust affects the crop. 
PRICES POSTPAID: Ounce, 25c; %4 pound, 65c; %z2 pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 5 pounds, $8.80. 
EARLY WATTERS 
The Early Watters is one of the orig- 
inal green-fleshed melons that became 
world famous as “Rocky Fords.” Its green 
flesh is sweet and pleasant to the taste, 
with a tendency to become soft when 
fully matured. The fruits are small with 
rather large seed cavities, heavily netted 
with faint ribs. The vines are vigorous 
and mature the melons in a very short 
time. 
Our supply of this seed is limited, and 
we cannot fill orders for large quantities, 
but we feel that you will want to plant a 
few hills of the old regular Rocky Ford 
cantaloupes. 
PRICES POSTPAID: Ounce, 25c; / pound, 65c; %2 pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 5 pounds, $8.80.
