Cantaloupe POWDERY MILDEW 
While the Powery Mildew Resistant Cantaloupe strains were developed primarily 
to serve the Imperial Valley in fighting the mildew, on account of their excellent quali- 
ties, they are displacing other varieties in many cantaloupe shipping sections. The canta- 
loupe growers of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and much of Texas are fast turning to 
these strains, although they are not affected with mildew in those states. 
One reason for this popularity is the way the cantaloupe will stand long distance 
shipping. Picked on a full slip in California, they arrive on the Eastern Seaboard mar- 
kets in prime eating condition. 
RESISTANT D-2 .. . 88 days. This new Mildew Resistant strain was developed 
from the No. 45, for use in the Imperial Valley. It is immune 
to some forms of mildew that had attacked other varieties. The D-2 is a heavy yielder 
and produces melons slightly larger than the No. 45. The net is heavier and rougher 
than most of the other strains. The flesh is deep salmon, the eating and shipping qual- 
ities are excellent—as are all other mildew resistant strains.

RESISTANT NO. 45 .. .. 88 days. With the single exception of the Hale’s Best 
strains, the No. 45 is no doubt the most widely planted 
strain of cantaloupes. It has been adopted by about all the Western cantaloupe growing 
sections as the main shipping variety. Many of the Eastern and Southern cantaloupe 
growing sections have also found the No. 45 the best variety for shipping purposes. Our 
strain of No. 45 is slightly oblong, well netted and with very solid flesh. Picked vine 
ripened, or full slip, it can be shipped long distances without any breakdown of the 
solid, firm flesh. The flesh color is a deep salmon, sweet flavored and firmer than most 
other varieties. The seed cavity is compact and well filled. The vines are vigorous and 
prolific, producing melons 6% by 6 inches—12 pack jumbo size. Commercial BD DR EIS 
will find the No. 45 an ideal melon for their purposes.
