RESIDUE CBOP SEEDS. 



In practically all departments of the 

 seed trade the dealer who aims to han- 

 dle nothing but the best is called on 

 to compete with lower priced stocks 

 that are the product of get-away crops, 

 or crops grown primarily for other pur- 

 poses. It is one of the evils that prob- 

 ably will exist, but it is none the less 

 aggravating that it is inevitable. 



In this connection some interesting 

 correspondence has come to hand re- 

 garding conditions at Rocky Ford, 

 Colo. A seedsman sends the letter of 

 the secretary of the Rocky Ford Seed 

 Growers' Association, with the explana- 

 tion that "it was written in response 

 to a letter we wrote them for the reason 

 that our statements that the cantaloupe 

 seed grown especially for us for seed 

 purposes had been questioned as to the 

 stock being any better than the cheap 

 seed which was saved from the culls, 

 jumbos and ponies, after the best and 

 bulk of the crops had been shipped 

 during the summer for commercial pur- 

 poses, the party making the criticisms 

 above referred to being well known to 

 the seed trade in general and one who 

 should be in a position to know the dif- 

 ference in the stocks. ' ' The seed grow- 

 ers ' letter follows: 



"We wish to call your attention to 

 the matter of fact that you cannot com- 

 pete in the seed trade with the prices 

 that you are paying for your Rocky 

 Ford cantaloupe seed. The seed that 

 was grown for you here was of high 

 quality and the crop was grown exclu- 

 sively for seed. Of course you paid the 

 price, but what we wish to inform you 

 of is that after the shipping season of 

 melons is over, it is customary for most 

 of the people to cut the remainder of 

 the crop for seed and sell this seed at 

 10 cents per pound — and there is a mar- 

 ket for it. Now, how can you put seed 

 of high quality against these prices? 



"We have reliable information that
