Melon: Hales Best Jumbo

The Hales Best Jumbo Melon is a local market and homegrown favorite. A Japanese market gardener in California developed this cantaloupe. It became widely popular because it combined excellent flavor with earliness. This beautiful oval melon has deep green skin, golden netting, and very appealing salmon-colored flesh. Hales Best Jumbo is an aromatic melon that is truly a sweet treat!
