Mildew Resistant Cantaloupes 
(Recommended for Districts Affected by Powdery Mildew) 
The vines of several different introductions are entirely free of mildew and are 
highly disease resistant; in some fields for comparison and test purposes', other Rocky 
Ford varieties were planted by the side of the Resistant; in these fields non-resistant 
strains were killed by Mildew while the Resistant intertwined with them showing no 
mildew infection whatever. 
Mildew Resistant No. 45 
OUR NO. 45 
The Mildew Resistant Cantaloupe is no longer an experiment; the production and 
shipping qualities due to the fact No. 45 must be picked on a FULL SLIP and will 
then carry to the far distant markets, arriving in perfect condition, has won its fame 
for being the most popular of the Mildew Resistant Strains. 
It has practically as heavy a net as the Improved Hale’s Best varieties, is similar 
in shape and very uniform; the melons run largely to Jumbo in size and this is really 
the first of the Resistant strains to hav© many of the improved qualities. 
The No. 45 has a thick salmon colored flesh, is well flavored, however the flesh 
is not as fine grained, nor is the flavor equal to that of the Improved Hale’s Best 
Strains; the melon has a reasonably small seed cavity and is perhaps one week later in 
maturing than the Hale’s Best. 
If you want a melon with proven shipping and carrying qualities, a melon that 
MUST be VINE RIPENED, we advise giving the Mildew Resistant No. 45 a trial the 
coming season.
