Grown and Harvested By Ourselves 

THE D-2 produces a cantaloupe that is earlier and larger than the Mildew Resistant 
No. 45. Having developed the D-2 ourselves, we can recommend it to the grower 
who needs a vigorous resistant melon. 
The D-2 is one of the earliest of the resistant strains, and will mature in about 
90 days. The melons are heavily netted, very solid, and will hold up under shipment 
for long distances. The D-2 makes a beautiful melon in the crates. The flesh is 
salmon colored, of fine quality, and the triangular seed cavity is well filled. The 
vines are very vigorous and produce a heavy crop of melons. 
The D-2 will particularly recommend itself to the grower who wants a large, 
solid, heavily netted melon which will stand abuse in handling. The D-2 is one of 
the best melons for shipment in bulk. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 25¢c; Yq pound, 75c; Y2 pound, $1.35; 1 pound, $2.25; 
5 pounds, $9.90. 
THIS CLOSE-UP of one of the hand 
cutters at work will give you an 
idea of how the work is done. A 
knife is rigidly attached to the 
stool upon which the cutter sits. 
He picks a melon from the pile 
and cuts it open over the knife. 
The large round end of the knife 
is then used to scrape the seed 
from the half melon. The seed 
falls into the bucket, and when 
the bucket is full the seed is 
poured into barrels for transport- 
ing to our washing plant.
