Four-Fifty 
An improved Strain of the No. 45 

The new''Four-Fifty" is an improved strain of the widely used No. 45, and has been 
very successful wherever used. 
The 4-50 is a melon that will hold up in prime edible condition for several days 
after being picked on a full slip. This characteristic mot only makes a good shipping 
melon but also prevents loss in the fields. Any ripe melons overlooked in the fields 
are still in good condition on the following days. 
The Four-Fifty is an oval melon covered by a heavy net. The flesh is salmon colored, 
sweet and smooth. The cavity is small and compact. The vines are vigorous in growth 
and produce a heavy set of melons. The 4-50 will average jumbo 36's in size, weigh- 
ing about 4 pounds. The variety matures in about 98 days. 
Since we introduced the 4-50 in 1943, the demand for this variety has been 
steadily increasing, and in several districts it has already replaced the No. 45 
as the principal variety. We have a good supply of the 4-50 seed, and can take care 
of your requirements.
