Highest Quality, Party, and Selection 
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.

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 planta 
few hills of the old regular Rocky Ford 
cantaloupes.
