TYPICAI* SPECIMKNS OF " HEARTS OF tiOLl) " SEKI>-TYI»ES 
TpHE "Hearts of Gold" cantaloupe seed we are offering Is pedigree seed, grown from melons of the same 
perfect type as shown above. The seed is sun-dried and cured under a subdued light and even tem- 
perature, just the same as is used by Col. Morrill for his own planting. Co]. Morrill has spent ten years 
in breeding up this cantaloupe to its prest-nl state of perfection. In size the fancy melons are about eighteen 
inches in circumference: the meat is about two inches thick. Under Col. Morrill's method of selection, which 
Involves the rejection of all imperfect specimens, the seed is more costly than ordinary seed, but pedigree 
seed always is worth more than it costs. We believe we are opening up an important opportunity to our 
customers in offering seed of this wonderful origination. Success is certain where our instructions are followed. 
$300.00 to $500.00 Per Acre in Five Months 
Hearts of Gold Cantaloupes 
WILL give you a net profit of $300.00 to 
1500.00 or more per acre in five months 
from date of planting. This celebrated 
cantaloupe was originated by America's greatest 
cantaloupe specialist, Col. Roland Morrill. Mr. 
Morrill also originated the "Rocky Ford" and 
Osage melons. AH cantaloupe growers will 
admit that Col. Morrill's originations are the 
best cantaloupes ever produced, and the fact 
that Col. Morrill is now growing the Hearts 
of Gold variety exclusively is conclusive evi- 
dence that the "Hearts of Gold" Is the best 
and most profitable of them all. 
All dealers who handle the "Hearts of Gold" 
cantaloupe declare that it is the sweetest, rich- 
est and most delicious cantaloupe that has ever 
come to their market. Mr. Scheid, Kalamazoo's 
leading grocer, in 1913, handled the "Hearts 
of Gold" cantaloupe from the beginning of the 
season until the season was closed, and he 
has advised us that he never found a single 
poor melon. These cantaloupes were shipped 
to Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago In 
carload lots during the season of 1913, and 
the dealers of tnese cities, who have been 
handling cantaloupes grown in all districts for 
many years, declare that the "Hearts of Gold" 
cantaloupe comes the nearest to perfection of 
any cantaloupe they have ever handled. And 
while Mr. Morrill had 70 acres of the "Hearts 
of Gold" here at Three Rivers in 1913 and 
40 to 50 acres at his Benton Harbor farm, he 
was unable to supply tne demand. 
While other cantaloupes were being sold at 
a price that barely paid freight and icing 
charges, the "Hearts of Gold" cantaloupes were 
netting Mr. Morrill all the way from $500 to 
$750 per car. Mr. Morrill claims that he has 
never made less than $300 per acre from canta- 
loupes and has made as much as $70u per 
acre. 
On account of Col. Morrill's wonderful suc- 
cess with the "Hearts of Gold" we feel that 
we are rendering our customers a positive fa- 
vor by arranging with Mr. Morrill to supply 
them with seed of this melon. And those who 
will plant the seed and give the plants good 
care will find them very profitable. Col. Morrill 
could supply us with only a limited amount of 
this seed, but as long as it lasts we will furnish 
the seed to our friends at the following prices: 
Sufficient seed for one acre $8.00 
Sufficient seed for y, acre 4.50 
Sufficient seed for 14 acre 2.50 
Sufficient seed for family garden. 1.00 
We explained in our 1914 book how careful 
Mr. Morrill is in selecting seed from the most 
perfect melons for his planting and by his 
methods of seed selection how he has built up 
this melon to perfection. We showed photo- 
engravings of two of these melons and gave 
a brief description of Mr. Morrill's method.
