Genuine Rockyford Cantaloupe—The Original Strain 
Early Netted Gem Cantalonpe 
Rocky ford (Orij^inal Strain) 
A very popular early variety of cantaloupe 
for the entire South for market or home use. 
The true type of the original Rockyford is shown 
by this illustration, and ifyou are growing for 
horne use or nearby market you will find this 
entirely satisfactory. For the shipper where 
standard size and heaviest netting are all im¬ 
portant we recommend our Eden Gem, but for 
all others this original Rockyford is a good can¬ 
taloupe. It's regularly ribbed, well netted, good 
size and has thick, green flesh of the most 
delicious flavor. 
Our seed is from crops grown exclusively for 
seed purposes, and is not the se'ed from the re¬ 
mains of the Southern and Colorado shipping 
crops such as is commonly sold. This ■'cull" seed 
is offered to us regularly every year at from 10 to 
25 cents per pound, and it is sold to seedsmen 
every year who are thus able to make “cut 
prices." If any one is willing to plant “cull" 
seed he iswelcome tobny it elsewhere. \Ve don't 
buy it or have it for sale. The personal inspec¬ 
tion work of our Mr. Hastings every year 
saves you from getting trash of that kind! not
