Mildew Resistant O-2 
THE D-2 produces a cantaloupe that is earlier and slightly larger than the Mildew Resist- 
ant No. 45. Having developed the D-2 ourselves, we have been working with it since our 
introduction of this melon, and we believe that our careful selections have steadily improved 
its qualities. For the grower who needs a vigorous resistant melon, we can sincerely recom- 
mend the D-2. 
The D-2 is one of the earliest of the resistant strains, and will mature about seven days 
later than the Hale’s Best. The melons are heavily netted, very solid, and will hold up under 
shipping for long distances. The flesh is a beautiful salmon color, of fine quality, and the 
triangular cavity is well filled. The vines are vigorous and are heavy yielders. 
The D-2 cantaloupe was developed to help solve the problem of mildew in infested dis- 
tricts, and has been successful in this purpose. For the districts needing a strong resistant 
cantaloupe, the D-2 is very valuable. For districts where mildew is not a problem, we suggest 
the use of the earlier and more uniform Seed Breeders and Nine Thirty-Six or the smaller 
more uniform No. 45. 
As the D-2 is not as widely used as some other varieties, we do not produce as large a 
quantity of seed of this variety as we do some others. As a result, our supply of the D-2 
cantaloupe seed is somewhat limited. May we suggest, therefore, that if you intend to use the 
D-2 thts season that you get your order to us as soon as possible so that you may be assured 
of a supply of seed of the D-2.
