Mildew Resistant. No. § 
THE Mitpew 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 maturing 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 infested with mildew. 
The quality of the No. 8 is very good. It will stand considerable handling without 
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, 20c; 4 pound, 65c; 2 pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 
2 pounds, $3.80; 5 pounds, $8.80; 10 pounds, $16.00. 

The Mildew Resistant No. 1, shown in this picture, and the No. 8 are hardy and prolific melons. 
Growers in Mexico prefer these strains.

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 characteristics: 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 his customers.
