‘T HE 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 nec- 
cessary. The D-2 is a cantaloupe of good quality that holds 
up under shipment over lond distances. It is a heavily netted 
dark, skinned melon that runs to large sizes, slightly larger 
p Padaies eA es ie $ 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 Hale’s Best. The flesh is 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 problems 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 prob- 
lem 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 suggest 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.
