some fruits to take home to eat, I 

 called his attention to how different 

 these were from the first selection, and 

 he said the first fruit was the best for 

 shipping and good enough to sell, but 

 not such aS he wanted for his own 

 table. The Montreal melon is different 

 in character and is grown and handled 

 differently, but the growers, like those 

 of Rocky Ford, use locally grown seed 

 carefully tried and selected so as to 

 secure the best possible adaptation to 

 local conditions and requirements. 



"No two farms are exactly alike in 

 climate and productive energies, no two 

 men will follow identical cultural meth- 

 ods, and the varietal character of a 

 vegetable which will give the best satis- 

 faction and profit on one farm and for 

 one market will not be as satisfactory 

 in another, so that the best possible re- 

 sults can only come from the use of 

 seed from which it is possible for you 

 to produce a superlative quality, at 

 least of those vegetables upon which 

 your reputation and profit chiefly de- 

 pend. 



"How can such seed be secured? I 

 have had an intimate connection with 

 American seedsmen for over thirty 

 years and I believe them to be quite 

 as honorable and considerate of their 

 customers ' needs as any class of mer- 

 chants, but they are in business for the 

 sake of personal profit rather than from 

 altruistic motives, and can not be ex- 

 pected to push the sale, or to long 

 continue to oflfer varieties or special 

 stocks which aflFord them little or no 

 ])rofit. Often a certain- variety can be 

 depended upon to give a good yield of 

 seed in one location, but rarely more 

 than a light crop in another, although 

 what seed you do get is apt (not cer- 

 tain) to yield a large crop of better 

 quality in the second location than seed 

 from the location which gives the larger 

 seed crop. Can you expect the seeds- 

 man to persistently grow his seed in a 

 location where the crop is apt to be a 

 failure or to push the sale or long con- 

 tinue to offer a stock which affords him 

 no profit? I have known of many in- 

 stances where a variety or special stock 

 materially better than that generally 

 used has never come into the general 

 planter's hands and has dropped out of 

 cultivation because the seedsmen could 

 not handle it with profit. Again, could 

 a seedsman be expected to furnish dis-
