Purdue 44 which is one of the finest, most uniform shipping melons yet 
introduced. : 

Purdue 44 88 days. Selection from Seed Breeders made by 
' Purdue University with a view of. obtaining a top 
lqualvty shee iee cantaloupe with resistance to-alternaria leaf’ ‘Spot. 
~The melons are extremely uniform in size, no pronounced ribs, 
and the net is heavy and uniform. Alternaria leaf spot is a canta- 
loupe disease that makes the melon plants “fire at the center of 
the hill” and finally lose most of the leaves by the time the fruit 
is matured., While resistant to this, Purdue 44 is not resistant 
to bacterial wilt. We consider this to be one of the best of ‘Hale’s 
Best. type cantaloupe yet introduced, and ag aes ae you uy 
some of it. Size the same as HB 936.

Texas Resistant No. ] This new cantaloupe is resistant 
i to aphids and downy mildew. It 
was developed te the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at 
Winter Haven, Texas. An inbred strain of the Rocky Dew (a 
West. India variety) was crossed with Hale’s :Best in order to 
combine commercial quality with insect and mildew resistance. 
Vine is stout, vigorous, medium in size, leaves thick and unlike 
those of Hale’s Best. Drought and unfavorable soil conditions 
affect. the vines less than common shipping varieties. Fruits 
about 54% inches long by 4% diameter; netting moderate, fairly’ 
good shipper, flesh salmon color, medium thick, and a fini tex- 
ture, flavor sweet and slightly musky. We suggest a trial plant- 
ing until you are familiar with this variety.
