Hale's Best 45 Melon

85 days. A classic, silky-fleshed super sweet market musk melon from the early 20th century. In 1923 I.D. Hale encountered this variety in Imperial County, near Brawley, Calif., being grown by a Japanese American market farmer. This sweet, smooth, orange fleshed-musk melon has been a staple for home and market growers since!
