Description
Cucumis melo
A big ole orange-fleshed melon…reliable, productive, and supremely tasty!
Since its introduction in 1920, Hale’s has been winning competitions. Large, sweet 3-5 pound melons have finely-netted skins and bright orange flesh—the quintessential cantaloupe both in the looks & flavor departments. Reliable & easy to grow! Harvest when they release easily from the vine with a light tug.
Seeds grown by Winniford Family Farm in Rice, Washington and Rich Felton in Rawlins, WY.
30 seeds.
Directions: Start indoors 2-4 weeks before last frost and transplant outside after. Or direct seed after last frost. Harden for a week before transplanting, and water thoroughly after. Melons are ripe when they slip from the vine when lightly tugged.
