Melons. 88 MELON CULTURE fectly healthy and which apparently have the power to resist or to throw off the disease. In fact, some varieties seem to have that inherent quality, which enables them to escape the disease, while others in the same field succumb to it. This fact enables the plant breeder to make his selections of fruits for seed from these apparently immune plants, and so, after a time, to produce a disease-resistant Fig. 20. A well-sprayed melon vine. (Fig. 19.) Let it be understood, however, that a disease-resistant strain which has been developed in one section of the country will not necessarily remain resistant when grown in some other locality under very different climatic conditions. The tend- ency, however, is for it to become resistant under its new environments much quicker and more easily than if it had never developed that quality. Experiments have proven that a resistant variety.
