ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 

Arizona No. 13 
The Arizona No. 13 cantaloupe has been developed by the Horticultural Department of the University 
of Arizona. It combines the desirable eating qualities of the Perfecto with the firm-fleshed, shipping 
qualities of the Mildew Resistant No. 45, together with obtaining other desirable features. 
The Arizona No. 13 is a small melon running generally to the standard 45 size. It is mostly 
globe shaped with no rib or stripe. The netting is very coarse and close. The rind is thin, tough and ~ 
fairly dark green. The flesh is a bright orange to salmon color, thick, juicy and very sweet. The 
high sugar content and flavor give it fine eating qualities. It can be picked on a full slip and will 
stand up under long shipment. It matures in 5 to 7 days earlier than the No. 45. 
This melon shows considerable promise as a fine quality cantaloupe for the grower who needs 
small sizes. Our supply of seed is limited but we suggest that the Arizona No. 13 be given a trial 
in your fields this season. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 30c; % pound, $1.00; % pound, $1.80; 1 pound, $3.00. 
Mildew Resistant No. 8 
The Mildew 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 lafer 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; % pound, 65c; % pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 
2 pounds, $3.80; 5 pounds, $8.80; 10 pounds, $16.00 
Mildew Resistant No. | 
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. . 5 
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 
thirpy-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.
