MILDEW RESISTANT NO. & 
The Mildew Resistant No. 8 is a melon that is attractive to growers in mildew- 
free areas because of its hardiness, its prolificness and its size. 
The Mildew Resistant No. 8 is a salmon-fleshed cantaloupe, well netted, thick 
fleshed, with a small cavity. The melons have a fine external appearance, and will 
average larger than the Hale’s Best in size. The No. 8 is about week later in maturing 
than the Hale’s Best. 
The No. 8 is not entirely resistant to the powdery mildew disease, but this feature 
will not affect its popularity in districts which are not infected with mildew. 
The quality of the No. 8 is very good. It will stand considerable handling without 
breaking down. It will not run to a single uniform type. These features will recom- 
mend it to the market gardeners. 
If you are looking for a cantaloupe that is hardy and will produce a heavy crop 
of large melons then you can rely upon the No. 8.

MILDEW RESISTANT NO. 1 
The Mildew Resistant No. 1 cantaloupe is one of several strains that have been 
developed to check the inroads of the powdery mildew in the cantaloupe crops. 
Like other mildew resistant strains, the No. 1 is a salmon-fleshed, well netted, 
oblong cantaloupe. The flesh is thick and sweet; the cavity is small and compact. The 
vines are vigorous and produce a large crop. 
The No. 1 strain is distinguished from the No. 45 by two principal characteristics: 
it is slightly earlier, and it produces larger melons. The No. 1 is a large cantaloupe, 
running in sizes from jumbo thirty-sixes to twenty-sevens. It is almost a week later 
than the Hale’s Best in maturing. 
We believe that for the market gardener who wishes to grow a melon somewhat 
larger than most commercial cantaloupes that the No. 1 will meet his needs. It has 
quality to go with its size and will appeal to your customers.

This is the Mildew Resistant No. 1 cantaloupe. While the two mildew resistant strains listed on this 
page are not widely used, they still serve a valuable purpose in certain districts. A vigorous vine and 
large melons are the outstanding characteristics of these cantaloupes.
