Notice to Associations 



When making up your orders please 

 give me a chance to bid on same. This 

 is my specialty, filling large orders. I 

 am now filling orders regular each season 

 for the largest associations in the United 

 States. I can handle yours if you will 

 give me the order in time. 



We can dig, pack and ship out 500,000 

 plants daily when the weather is favor- 

 aDle. 



We pack so as to reach you safely. 



If your order is large enough we pay

I personally inspect every shipment. 



I have the thoroughbred stock that will

I want your order. I want it early.

Remember, thoroughbred plants from 

 the Eastern Shore will live and grow big 

 crops. They are winter hardened; nothing 

 like them. 



Seed Department 



The most of my seed are grown at 

 Rockyford, Colorado. They are grown by 

 experienced men, nothing but the best 

 stock are used in selecting seed from. 

 Therefore, I am prepared to furnish you 

 with as good seed as grows in any quan- 

 tity you may desire, at prices as cheap as 

 good seed, can be grown for. Anyone 

 asking less than my price, better let him 

 alone. He has not the best seed or he 

 could not cut the price. I will illustrate: 

 It takes a standard carrier of 45 canta- 

 loupes to cut one pound of seed. In order 

 to get best seed they must be saved from 



the first and best fruit that ripens on the 

 vines. Any ordinary season fruit at the 

 beginning will average $1.50 to $2.00 per 

 crate at the shipping station. Now. how 

 can a grower of seed afford to sell you 

 a pound of good seed for $1.00? It is not 

 only so with the cantaloupe, but all other 

 seed as well. I am making but a very 

 small profit on all the seed I grow and 

 ?ell. If you want the best I want your 

 order. If you want dollar a pound seed, 

 give your order to the other fellow. I 

 fiuote you as follows:
