Powdery Mildew Resistant No. 45. Uniform in size, thick fleshed. 
Powdery Mildew Resistant No. 45 5°, 9¥5. | A steat 
achievement in sci- 
entific cantaloupe breeding. Dr. Jagger and his associates working 
in connection with the U. S. D. A. made about 8,000 crosses endeav- 
oring to find a melon that would resist;;Powdery Mildew and at the 
same time be good eating and a good shipper. The No. 45 was 
selected from all of these as being the best“fitted for reproduction. 
It should be vine ripened, picked full slip at which stage it carries 
an attractive yellow ripe color underneath the closely laced netting. 
Precooled, it will ship from California--to the Eastern markets and 
arrive in the consumer’s hands in first class condition. Our selection 
has been toward a slightly smaller type, rather round, instead of 
too oblong (note illustration). Fleshing is very thick, melons uni- 
form in appearance, and are easily crated. Cantaloupe shippers who 
have seen our fields advise that we were fortunate in having decided 
to select to the smaller type, because this melon is inclined to grow 
rather large in some districts. We recommend use of the D-2 Re- 
sistant in the Imperial Valley.
