MILDEW RESISTANT D-2 
The new D-2 is a cantaloupe developed for its resistance to powdery mildew, 
and has proven particularly valuable in districts where a melon of vigor and disease 
resistance is necessary. The D-2 is a cantaloupe of good quality that holds up under 
shipment over long distances. It is a heavily netted, dark skinned melon that runs 
to large sizes, slightly larger than the No. 45. The D-2 is one of the earliest of the 
mildew resistant strains but matures about seven days later than the Hales’ Best. 
The eee a beautiful salmon color, is of fine quality, and the triangular cavity is 
well filled. 
The D-2 cantaloupe was developed to help solve the problem of mildew in in- 
fested districts. It has been of great value in this respect, and is being used in all 
districts where mildew is prevalent. A few other districts have also found the D-2 
to have qualities that recommend it for use although mildew may not be present. 
It has not been our policy to recommend a new melon unless we were positive that 
it would fill the needs of the grower. In line with this policy, we recommend the use 
of the Seed Breeders, Nine Thirty-Six or the No. 45 unless mildew is a problem with 
your growing crops. But if you need a strong resistant cantaloupe, we know from 
our experience that the D-2 will be a valuable melon for you. 
Our supply of the D-2 cantaloupe is somewhat limited, but we feel that we may 
have enough of this seed to meet the demand for it. However, we would like to sug- 
gest that if you intend to use the D-2 this season that you get your order to us as soon 
as possible in order that you may be assured of a supply. 
All the seed that we offer has been grown and harvested by ourselves. Its 
selection and high quality will give you a melon that has become an important 
addition to shipping types.

The ability of the seedsman 
to understand the problems of 
the grower and to assist him in 
their solution is portrayed inthe 
new D-2 cantaloupe. This melon 
was rapidly and successfully de- 
veloped to overcome the ravages 
of the mildew in the cantaloupe 
fields of the Southwest.
