MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE 
HALE’S BEST NO. 36—85 days—A beauti- 
ful melon; highly flavored, really good to eat. 
Has proven its worth by becoming the most 
popular cantaloupe with large shippers the past 
several seasons. So wonderfully uniform that 
it is an outstanding breeding accomplishment. 
It is large, packing mostly 36’s or using the 
Jumbo flat crate 12’s. Solidly netted, little if 
any suture and no ribs. The rich, spicy salmon 
flesh is deep, fine-grained and holds up well for 
long-distance shipping. While primarily bred 
for the shipping trade, its many fine qualities 
make it ideal for roadside market and home 
gardens. We recommend this melon to melon 
growers; for North—where the seasons are 
short— for South to be first on the market with 
a real good cantaloupe. 
SCHOONS HARDSHELL. 87 days. A new and 
excellent flavored large melon. Slightly oblong 
with coarse netting on a tough, hard shell, and 
distinctly ribbed. Carries well to distant mar- 
kets. It has bright salmon colored flesh and 
the best flavor to be found. Weight 5 to 8 
pounds or more. 
MILDEW RESISTANT NO. 45 CANTA- 
LOUPE—tThe vines of this introduction are 
entirely free of any mildew and highly disease 
resistant. In some fields for a comparison and 
test purposes, other Rocky Ford varieties were 
planted by the side of the Resistant. In these 
fields the non-resistant strains were immedi- 
ately killed by mildew, while the Resistant in- 
tertwined with them showing no mildew in- 
fection whatever. The Mildew Resistant Canta- 
loupe is no longer an experiment. The produc- 
tion and shipping qualities due to the fact the 
No. 45 must be picked on a FULL SLIP and 
will then carry to the far distant markets, 
arriving in perfect condition. It has won its 
fame for being the most popular of the Mildew 
Resistant Strains; in other words, as a shipping 
melon, it is unexcelled. The No. 45 has a thick 
salmon colored flesh; is well flavored. However, 
the flesh is not a fine grained, neither is the 
flavor equal to that of the Improved Hale’s 
Best Strains. The melon has a reasonable small 
seed cavity and is perhaps one week later in 
maturing than the Hale’s Best. If you want a 
melon with proven shipping and carrying quali- 
ties, we advise giving the Mildew Resistant No. 
45 a trial the coming season.
