Texas Resistant No. 1 
A New Variety 

This new melon has been developed by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station for resistance 
to downy mildew and aphids. 
The Texas Resistant Cantaloupe No. | was derived from a cross between an inbred strain of the 
West Indian melon, Rocky Dew Green Flesh, and our Seed Breeders strain of the Hale's Best. The 
melons of this variety are fairly uniform and of relatively small size, about 4!/2 by 5!/2 inches, with a 
moderate netting. The flesh is salmon colored and fine 
textured, with a sweet spicy flavor. The seed cavity is 
small and compact. It is a good shipping melon when 
picked on a full slip. It is as early as the Hale's Best 
in maturing. 
This new Texas Resistant No. | has shown marked 
resistance to downy mildew, but is not immune to the 
disease. Its resistance to aphids is even more outstanding 
than its mildew resistance. Thus far, wherever tried, dust- 
ing this variety for aphids has been unnecessary. This 
variety has also shown some resistance to the melon worm. 
Our supply of this seed is limited, and we are restrict- 
ing the quantities of seed that can be ordered.

Mildew Resistant D-2 
_A Large Early Resistant Type 
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.
