To Our Friends and Customers 
Highest Quality Seed at Lowest Prices 
During the world-wide depression the farming industry has been hard hit. With this 
fact in view we have made a big reduction in our prices for the coming season. Lower prices 
however do not mean a cheaper grade of seed but does mean the highest quality seed at a 
lower cost of production, which saving we are passing on to our customers in appreciation of 
their patronage. 
Please Read the Following Carefully: 
We claim that our carefully selected, hand-cut seed is fully equal in every respect to the 
so-called stock seed offered by some in wholesale quantities at very much higher prices than 
we ask for our selected regular stocks. The price we would have to have would be prohibitive 
on stock seed such as we save for our own planting stocks. 
Genuine stock seed is saved from the most nearly perfect melons; is saved from the most 
vigorous disease-resistant vines; saved from melons of uniform size and shape, selected for 
both inside and outside appearances, also for the eating and keeping qualities. 
In saving stock seed for our own planting we very seldom select ten pounds of stock seed 
per acre from our best seed fields; therefore, have never before had any stock seed to offer 
at any price but have accumulated a small surplus of a few leading varieties which we offer 
as long as it lasts at a very reasonable price to clean it up. 
Should we cut all of the best melons in our seed fields and offer the seed as stock seed, 
what kind of a selection would be left for our customers who order our regular stock? Think 
it over. 
Don't fail to order some of our Improved strains of the Hale’s Best cantaloupe 
seed. They are the best offered to date. 
We Advise All Commercial Growers to Place Their 
Orders Early. 
Quality Has No Substitute 
Our consistent aim is to make “Quality” the first consideration; next to make our price 
as low as good seed can be sold. 
From “grower to grower.” Our object is to grow the best seed that can be produced and 
supply the grower direct, without the seed passing through the hands of several dealers, whereby 
it often loses its identity. 
Our planting stocks are kept up to the highest standard by systematic selection. 
Our seed-growing is carried on in the most up-to-date manner. The seed we offer 
is the best selection from fields grown exclusively for seed purposes; was saved from 
stock true to type, from well-netted, fully matured, standard-sized melons of the 
best seed qualities. Our seed is all cut by hand, well cured, is thoroughly cleaned, 
all light seed fanned out, and is of the highest germination. 
While we don’t claim to have the only good seed on the market, we do claim that 
there is none better than the grade of seed we offer. 
NOTICE: Some states have adopted a Sales Tax, which should not affect seed shipped 
from another state. Should it do so, the buyer is to pay the tax. Colorado to date has no 
Sales Tax covering seeds. Should the Government impose any additional taxes or regulations 
affecting prices quoted in this catalog, our prices will be adjusted accordingly. 
Our Motto: “Best Seeds Only , and a Square Deal to All.” 
We want to supply growers who want and appreciate good seed. If after ordering from 
us you have any cause for complaint, we want you to write us fully at once, as just criticism 
is an aid to improvement. 
Your orders, either large or small, will be appreciated and receive our prompt personal 
attention. 
All orders will be shipped within 24 hours after they are received. 
We will be glad to answer any inquiries for information on subjects pertaining to the 
cantaloupe business. 
We solicit a share of your order for the coming season.
