A fine field of cantaloupe, Burrell's Jumbo. The melons are piled as shown in the picture 
and then graded and seeded 
J 85 days. The original stock of Hale’s Best 
Burrell’s Jumbo 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.

From Kentucky: “I can recall early in life hearing my 
grandfather . . . speak of your seed as 
being the best he could buy. My father thought the same. | sup- 
pose in my family we have ordered seed from you for nearly 50 
years. | am that old and can’t remember when Grandfather first 
ordered seed from you.”
