Mildew Resistant No. 8 
HE 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 a week later in ma- 
turing 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 with- 
out breaking down. It will not run to a single uniform type. These features will 
recommend 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. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 15c; '4 pound, 50c; 14 pound, 90c; 1 pound, $1.50; 
2 pounds, $2.85; 5 pounds, $6.60; 10 pounds, $12.00. 

Large melons and vigorous vines are the outstanding characteristics of 
the Mildew Resistant No. 8 
Mildew Resistant No. | 
‘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 character- 
istics: 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.
