MILDEW RESISTANT 10.9 
A NEW RESISTANT STRAIN 
‘ 
i} 
=< 
The No. 5 is a powdery mildew resistant cantaloupe de- 
veloped by Dr. Thomas Whitaker of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture. Bred for use in districts where powdery 
mildew is a problem, this variety has proved to be 100% 
resistant to the disease. 
The No. 5 is characterized by a strong vigorous vine 
with abundant foliage, producing a heavy set of melons. 
The cantaloupe has a relatively low net and is slightly 
ribbed. The flesh is salmon colored, smooth and has a good 
flavor with an exceptionally high sugar content. The fruit 

runs to jumbo 36's in size, maturing in about 100 days. The 
No. 5 must be picked on the first sign of a slip in order to stand under shipment. 
In some districts, mosaic disease is a problem. Government tests of our seed show it to be free of 
this disease, since it carries no trace of the mosaic virus. 
The No. 5 is the most popular and most successful melon in mildew infested districts. 
PRICES POSTPAID: Ounce, 25c; 1/s pound, 65c; '/2 pound, $1.20; 1 pound, $2.00; 5 pounds, $8.80. 
MILDEW RESISTANT 00.6 
100% RESISTANT TO MILDEW 
The No. 6 is another new strain of the powdery mildew 
resistant cantaloupes developed by Dr. Whitaker. 
The No. 6 is 100% resistant to the mildew. It can be 
picked on a full slip and stand shipment to distant markets. 
The fruit runs to jumbo 36’s in size and are well netted. 
The flesh is firm, salmon colored and of good flavor, al- 
though not averaging as high in sugar content as the No. 5. 
The No. 6 is a few days earlier in maturing than the No. 5. 
Both the No. 5 and the No. 6 will be used this season in 
those districts where a mildew resistant melon is needed. 
We have a short supply of the No. 6 seed this season, and 
if you intend to plant this variety, we would suggest that 

you order early. 
PRICES POSTPAID: Ounce, 25c; 1/4 pound, 80c; 1/2 pound, $1.50; 1 pound, $2.50; 5 pounds, $11.00
