CANTALOUPE CULTURE AND PEDIGREED CANTALOUPE SEED. 



An Ideal Seed Cavity. 



Cantaloupe Seed a Specialty 



ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HIGH-GRADE SEED? If you are, THE 

 ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED BREEDERS' ASSOCIATION can fur- 

 nish you with the best Rocky Ford cantaloupe seed, that experience and 

 systematic efforts have been able to produce. 



The need of this organization was suggested by the many letters of 

 inquiry for a reliable source of cantaloupe seed, that have continually 

 been coming to the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station. 



This Association has no official relation with that institution, except 

 that Mr. P. K. Blinn, Field Agent, and for many years the Cantaloupe 

 Specialist was instrumental in forming this association. It was the results 

 of the work on the Experiment Station in breeding the Rust-Resistant can- 

 taloupe on the basis of individual plant variation, that forms the founda- 

 tion of the system of seed selection that is behind all the seed sold by this 

 Association; which is ENTIRELY PRODUCED BY THE FEW MEN WHO 

 WERE SELECTED BY REASON OF THEIR EXPERIENCE AND ABILITY 

 AS SEED GROWERS TO FORM THE ASSOCIATION. The membership 

 is restricted, and the organization is NOT a seed jobbing concern. 



The plan is to develop and produce pedigreed cantaloupe seed and to 

 sell only such. 



SATISFIED CUSTOMERS ARE STOCK-IN-TRADE in the seed busi- 

 ness, and high grade seed, and the results they produce will secure them. 



The Association furnishes a certificate with all their seed which identi- 

 fies its source, and the breeding and selection behind the seed insures the 

 results.
