A LEADING COMMERCIAL CANTALOUPE 
THE MILDEW RESISTANT No. 45 has become one of the most popular varieties of 
commercial cantaloupes. 
The No. 45 is a slightly oblong melon, well-netted and solid. Picked vine-ripened 
on a full slip, it can be shipped long distances without any breakdown of the solid, 
firm flesh. The flesh is salmon colored, firm textured and sweet. The cavity is small 
and compactly filled with seed. The vines are vigorous and prolific, producing jumbo 
36 sized melons, maturing in about 95 days. 
The vigor and shipping qualities of the No. 45 account for its universal popu- 
larity. It is one of the finest commercial melons on the market because it can be 
picked vine-ripened and stand shipment to distant markets. Its heavy set of melons 
makes it popular with the grower because of its large yields. Its fine quality and 
flavor make it popular with the buyers. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 25c; 1% pound, 75¢; 2 pound, $1.35; 1 pound, $2.25; 
5 pounds, $9.90. 
APPEARANCE is not enough in 
judging cantaloupes. Cantaloupes 
are grown to eat, and if the fla- 
vor and sugar content are not up 
to standard, then appearance 
counts for little. This photograph 
shows the use of a refracometer 
for measuring sugar content. The 
melon is cut open and some of 
the juice is placed on the optical 
prism faces and the cover closed. 
The telescope contains a measur- 
ing device for the measurement of 
sugar percentages.
