Wuldew Resistant D-2 
THE D-2 Propucts a cantaloupe that is earlier and slightly larger than the Mildew Resistant 
No. 45. Having developed the D-2 ourselves, we have been working with it since our intro- 
duction 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 recommend 
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 heavwy yielders. 
The D-2 cantaloupe was developed to help solve the problem of mildew in infested 
districts, 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 sug- 
gest 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 this 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.
