Powdery Mildew Resistant Strains 
RESISTANT D-2—88 days. This new Mildew Resistant strain was developed from 
the No. 45, for use in the Imperial Valley. It is immune to some forms of mildew 
that had attacked other varieties. The D-2 is a heavy yielder and produces melons 
slightly larger than the No. 45. The net is heavier and rougher than most of the 
other strains. The flesh is deep salmon, the eating and shipping qualities are excel- 
lent—as are all other mildew resistant strains.

RESISTANT NO. 5—88 days. Many large shippers have hailed the No. 5 as the 
inost outstanding shipping melon. It was developed from the No. 45 and shows more 
resistance to certain types of mildew. The sugar content is very high and in ap- 
pearance it is much like its Hale’s Best parent. On account of its high sugar con- 
tent it should be picked on about a three-quarter slip, if it is to be shipped long 
distances. For local market it will stand being picked full slip. In appearance it is 
very similar to the other Mildew Resistant strains, except that the netting is more 
flat and finer lined, showing considerable suture.

RESISTANT NO. 8—88 days. This melon is popular everywhere because of its size, 
prolificness and hardiness. The quality is good and will stand rough shipping. Hav- 
ing a fine exterior appearance the No. 8 does not run uniform in size, a feature 
that recommends it to the market grower. Well netted with thick, sweet, firm 
salmon flesh and a small seed cavity. The No. 8 will produce you a heavy crop of 
large, quality melons; average 7 by 6% inches in size.

RESISTANT NO. 45—88 days. With the single exception of the Hale’s Best strains 
the No. 45 is no doubt the most widely planted strain of cantaloupes. Our strain of 
No. 45 is slightly oblong, well netted and with very solid flesh. Picked vine ripened, 
or full slip, it can be shipped long distances without any breakdown of the solid, 
firm flesh. The flesh color is a deep salmon, sweet flavored and firmer than most 
other varieties. The seed cavity is compact and well filled. The vines are vigorous 
and prolific, producing melons 6% by 6 inches—12 pack jumbo size. Commercial 
shippers will find the No. 45 an ideal melon for their purposes.
