ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 
Fowr- juply- 
Lasr YEAR we introduced the new “Four-Fifty’’ for the first time and were gratified at the 
success it obtained during the past season. Since it had been tested for several seasons before 
its introduction we knew exactly how it would perform under western conditions, and we 
» have been pleased to know that it is equally successful in other cantaloupe sections. 
Particular emphasis was placed upon the commercial possibilities of the 4-50. It is a 
melon that will hold up in prime edible condition for several days after being picked on a 
full slip. Any ripe melons overlooked in the fields are still in good condition on the fol- 
lowing day or even on the third day. This is in contrast to the softening of most varieties 
soon after they slip from the vine. 
The ‘“Four-Fifty” is an oval melon with a dark skin, covered by a heavy net. The flesh 
:s salmon colored and sweet and smooth. The vines are vigorous in growth, have resistance 
to mildew, are dark green in color and produce a heavy set of melons that mature in about 
98 days. The 4-50 will average a jumbo 36 in size, measuring about 61/4 by 6 inches and 
weighing about 4 pounds. The cavity is small and tightly filled with seed. 
The demand for the “Four-Fifty” was heavy last season and we sold out our entire 
supply of seed of this variety and were forced to make many refunds on orders. This season 
we have grown a very good supply of 4-50 seed and believe that we will have sufficient 
stock so that we can supply all who want to plant this variety.
