Photograph taken on one of our Seed Farms. This shows the Powdery Mildew 
Resistant No. 45. Uniform in size, thick fleshed. 
Powdery Mildew Resistant No. 45 On a ee 
used in the Rocky Ford district as it may be vine ripened, picked 
full slip and stand shipment to distant points. Quality is among 
the best of the mildew resistant varieties. Flesh salmon, firm, 
fine textured and sweet. Our strain produces more uniform melons 
than what is generally offered as this variety. No. 45 is not as 
resistant to some mildews as some of the more recent introduc- 
tions and we suggest use of Mildew Resistant No. 5 in the Imperial 
Valley. The melons from which we produced our stock seed were 
taste tested. That is, the individual melons were tasted for flavor 
and sweetness and all discarded except the very best. We were 
definitely able to improve the quality of our 45 by this method.

Mildew Resistant No. 5 2% days. Bred for districts 
5 where Powdery Mildew is a 
problem. It is extensively used and has proved to be one of the 
most resistant to the disease. Vines strong and vigorous, foliage 
abundant melons set heavily. Fruits jumbo 36’s in size; slightly 
ribbed; net low. Flesh salmon colored, smooth and of good flavor, 
having a considerably higher sugar content than most commercial 
cantaloupe. Pick on first sign of a slip; if picked full slip will not 
carry to distant markets.

Texas Resistant No. | 85 days. Developed at Texas 
Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion; said to be resistant to aphids, partially resistant to downy 
mildew. Drought and unfavorable soil conditions affect the vines 
less than most shipping varieties. Fruits about 5% inches long by 
4%, diameter; netting moderate, fairly good shipper, flesh salmon 
color, medium thick, and a firm texture, flavor sweet and slightly 
musky. As grown here quality is good but we understand in some 
localities this is otherwise. We suggest a trial planting until you 
are familiar with this variety.
