THE SEED 
Highest Quality, Furity, and Selection 
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. 1. 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 fin- 
est in flavor and quality.
