Mildew Resistant Cantaloupes 
RESISTANT NO. 50 
Resistant No. 50 
This was the first melon to be released that was entirely free from Mildew; they 
run rather oblong in shape and vary in size, however will run strong to twelve pack 
Jumbo flats; the vines make a very vigorous growth, flesh is a salmon color with med¬ 
ium size seed cavity; heavy net but show some stripe. 
Resistant No. 50-13 
Also entirely free of Mildew, melons run smaller and much more uniform than 
the No. 50, have a heavy net with prominent stripe; the flesh is very firm and of a 
deep salmon color and a good flavor; vines are very prolific and have an unusually 
heavy set; a good melon where your trade demands a smaller size. 
Resistant No. 8 
(Also No. 8-1 which is a Selection from No. 8) 
These melons run extra large and have a very heavy strong vine growth; they are 
attractive and well netted, have thick flesh and small seed cavity; are a few days 
Later in maturing than the Hale’s Best variety but have wonderful shipping and carry¬ 
ing qualities. Due to the large sizes are used in many districts even though not troub¬ 
led with Mildew, where growers require a melon for roadside markets and loose haul¬ 
ing to markets by truck.
