Cantaloupe (Continued ) 
Powdery Mildew Resistant Strains 
RESISTANT D-2——-88 days. This new Mildew Resistant strain was developed from the 
No. 45, for use in the Imperial Valley. It is immune to some forms of mildew that had 
attacked other varieties. The D-2 is a heavy yielder and produces melons slightly larger 
than the No. 45. The net is heavier and rougher than most of the other strains. The 
flesh is deep salmon, the eating and shipping qualities are excellent—as are all other 
mildew resistant strains.

RESISTANT No. 5—88 days. This new Mildew Resistant strain was used last season in 
the Imperial Valley of California with great success. Many of the large shippers have 
hailed the No. 5 as the most outstanding shipping melon. It was developed from the 
No. 45 and shows more resistance to certain types of mildew. The sugar content is very 
high and in appearance it is much like its Hale’s Best parent. On account of its high 
sugar content it should be picked on about a three-quarter slip, if it is to be shipped long 
distances. For local market it will stand being picked full-slip. In appearance it is very 
similar to the other Mildew Resistant strains, except that the netting is more flat and 
finer lined, showing considerable suture.

Resistant No. 45 
RESISTANT NO. 45——-88 days. With the single exception of the Hale’s Best strains, the 
No. 45 is no doubt the most widely planted strain of cantaloupes. Our strain of No. 45 
is slightly oblong, well netted and with very solid flesh. Picked vine ripened, or full 
slip, it can be shipped long distances without any breakdown of the solid, firm flesh. 
The flesh color is a deep salmon, sweet flavored and firmer than most other varieties. 
The seed cavity is compact and well filled. The vines are vigorous and prolific, producing 
melons 6/2 by 6 inches—12 pack jumbo size. Commercial shippers will find the No. 45 
an ideal melon for their purposes.
