Melon Seeds - Hales Best Jumbo Cantaloupe

Description The heirloom cantaloupe that made melons famous. ‘Hale’s Best Jumbo’ bears heavily netted fruits with thick, orange flesh that’s juicy, aromatic, and sweet to the core. The flavor is rich and musky—the classic taste of summer gardens. Fruits weigh 4–5 pounds on vigorous, disease-tolerant vines. Maturing in about 85 days, this variety performs well even in dry or variable conditions. Introduced in the 1920s by market growers in California, ‘Hale’s Best’ became the standard for flavor and reliability—a time-tested favorite for home and farm alike.
