Plate V shows the contrast between two plants which grew in 
the .same hill; one, entirely dead from rust, the other absolutely 
free from the disease—this view taken Oct. 1st. This hill was 
grown from a general selection of Pollock seed and reveals the ne¬ 
cessity of individual plant selection to eliminate the reverting ten¬ 
dency of some plants. 
Hills grown from the seed of one resistant cantaloupe produced 
nearly all resistant plants,—the whole row showing green except 
an occasional vine attacked by rust. 
Plate III. Rusted hill, showing poor, undeveloped melons, taken Sept. 20, 1905 
Field observations were again made to verify the existence of 
resistant plants in fields planted with Pollock seed, and in every 
instance the green resistant plants could be seen remaining over 
the field after the balance of the vines were dead with rust. 
During the shipping season, before the vines had gone down 
with rust to any extent, several conspicuously resistant plants in the 
fields of Messrs. C. J. Cover, J. B. Ryan and I. D. Hale, were ob¬ 
served and marked for seed. 
Bach grower has reported that these hills remained green till 
frost.
