FOUR-FIFTY 
AN IMPROVED STRAIN OF THE NO. 45 
The new “Four-Fifty” is an improved 
strain of the widely used No. 45, and has 
been very successful wherever used. 
The 4-50 is a melon that will hold up 
in prime edible condition for several 
days after being picked on a full slip. 
This characteristic not only makes a 
good shipping melon but also prevents 
loss in the fields. Any ripe melons over- 
looked in the fields are still in good con- 
dition on the following days. 
The Four-Fifty is an oval melon cov- 
ered by a heavy net. The flesh is salmon 
colored, sweet and smooth. The cavity 
is small and compact. The vines are vig- 
orous in growth and produce a heavy 
set of melons. The 4-50 will average jum- 
bo 36's in size, weighing about 4 pounds. 
The variety matures in about 98 days. 
Since we introduced the 4-50 in 1943, 
the demand for this variety has been 
steadily increasing, and in several dis- 
tricts it has already replaced the No. 45 
as the principal variety. We have a 
good supply of the 4-50 seed, and can 
take care of your requirements.
