MILDEW RESISTANT NO. 45 CANTALOUPE—Variety No. 32 
The vines of this introduction are entirely free 
of qny 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 immediately killed by mil- 
dew, while the Resistant intertwined with them 
showing no mildew infection whatever. The pro- 
duction and shipping qualities are 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;

CANTALOUPE— 
Variety No. 28 
Another improved strain of 
the Hale’s Best. By careful 
selection this improved strain 
of Hale’s Best has become 
another of the outstanding 
melons in districts where a 
large uniform early melon is 
desired. On an average, 
they produce within eighty 
days from date of planting. 
Have an unusually healthy 
vigorous vine and very pro- 
lific. The melons run strong 
to jumbo in size and oval in 
shape; practically all solid 
net; the flesh is a deep sal- 
mon color; has an excellent 
flavor, small seed cavity and 
fine shipper. We strongly urge you to give this 
melon a trial and feel confident you will be more 
than pleased with the appearance, uniformity, size 
and yield at harvest time, due to the fact it is

in other words, as a shipping melon, it is unex- 
celled. The No. 45 has a thick salmon colored 
flesh; is well flavored. However, the flesh is not 
as fine grained, neither is the flavor equal to that 
of the Improved Hale’s Best Strains. They run 
largely to the Jumbo type. The melon has a rea- 
sonably 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 qualities, a melon that MUST be VINE 
RIPENED, we advise giving the Mildew Resistant 
No. 45 a trial the coming season. '% lb. 65c; ¥2 Ib.
