220- A—HALE’S BEST (75 Days)—Of the thousands of acres of 
cantaloupes grown in the Imperial Valley of California each 
year more than 90% are Hale’s Best, producing melons of uni¬ 
form standard size, 90% of which are completely covered with 
beautiful gray, lace-like netting which, with the small seed 
cavity, are the most essential points in carrying and keeping 
qualities of the cantaloupe. The flesh is green, tinged with a 
delicate salmon-pink around the seed cavity, which is the 
smallest of any strain in Rocky Ford. The flesh is firm but 
not tough or stringy, and has a sweet, luscious, melting and 
superb flavor.

222—BUCK BRAND (Surprise) (85 days)—The nearest thing 
to the old-fashioned muskmelon that you can get. Fruit 
round, slightly oblong, with a very thin, nearly smooth, gray- 
green skin; flesh thick and of deep salmon color. For flavor 
and size combined this is the king of all melons. Too large 
to be profitable for market—they often weigh 15 to 20 pounds 
—they are ideal for home use; one melon is enough for a 
family. Continues bearing till cold weather and holds its 
splendid quality up to the very last.

DUTOX WILL CONTROL STRIPED AND SPOTTED 
CUCUMBER BEETLE AND PICKLE WORM 
ON CANTALOUPES 
Use from 2 to 6 pounds of Dutox per acre for dusting 
Cantaloupes. For control of striped and spotted beetles, 
dusting should be begun as soon as plants are up, and 
applied every 10 days as long as the insects continue to 
come. For control of the pickle worm, which bores into 
the cantaloupe, begin dusting when the first melons form 
and apply Dutox every 10 days until most of the crop is 
harvested. In all cases dust the plant thoroughly and 
evenly, especially the under side of leaves, with Dutox. 
The 665 Major Duster shown on page 70 will properly 
apply the dust. Light, frequent applications are generally 
more effective than heavy, infrequent applications.
