Why the Burrell Family are good seedsmen. They grow up in the business and learn 
pride of product that can best be developed in this way. Some of our founder's great 
grandsons watching Pat Head seeding selected cantaloupes (Burrell's Jumbo). 
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 41% 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.
