Hales Best Jumbo Cantaloupe, Heirloom Seeds — The Traditional Favorite With Bright Orange Flesh Some Call the Best Cantaloupe They’ve Ever Had

Hales Best Jumbo (Cucumis melo) is a traditional heirloom cantaloupe favorite — large, oval, ribbed fruits weighing 4–5 pounds with heavy netting and fine-textured, bright orange flesh that is sweet, juicy, and intensely fragrant. The seed cavity is fairly small for the size of the fruit. Short shelf life — best enjoyed fresh at peak ripeness. 85 days.

Why Grow Hales Best Jumbo?

  • Bright orange, fine-textured flesh — sweet, juicy, and intensely fragrant
  • Large 4–5 lb oval ribbed fruits — heavily netted with small seed cavity
  • So good a whole melon disappears in one sitting — exceptional eating quality
  • Traditional heirloom favorite — a proven classic for home gardens
  • Open-pollinated heirloom — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed into warm soil in full sun. Space plants 3–4 feet apart. Water consistently. Harvest when rind turns golden and melon slips from vine. Short shelf life — enjoy fresh.
