Maine. Wish to thank you very much for the Growing 
Instructions that you sent me with my order of Hearts of 
Gold cantaloupe seed. I tried to follow your directions, 
growing them under glass, spraying several times, etc., and 
I had a very heavy crop of extremely fine melons. 
Massachusetts. There is no doubt that the Hearts of 
Gold are the most superior -flavored melon I have ever 
grown. Benders are good in quality but vary tremendously 
even in each hill. Hearts of Gold are true to type. Twelve 
melons cut would all be the same sweet perfect flavor. Of 
no other of the fifteen varieties that I plant can I say the 
same. 
Michigan. We raised Hearts of Gold melons from seed 
purchased of you and they were surely all you represent 
them to be and expect to order more soon for planting un¬ 
der glass so as to be early on the market and get good 
prices. 
Pennsylvania. “Had very nice crop of Hearts of Gold 
melons although we were stricken with drought as zvell as 
a hail storm. Melons were of fine quality.” “Had fine suc¬ 
cess with our Hearts of Gold last year and am increasing 
space this year” 
Nebraska. Raised 9 acres of your Hearts of Gold cant¬ 
aloupes last year and had fine crop. Had an average of 
about 15 melons to the hill. 
New York Your Hearts of Gold cantaloupes are cer¬ 
tainly delicious. We are enjoying them to the utmost and 
they come up to our expectations in every way, and are 
truly a veritable treat, notwithstanding that our own 
County, Monroe, is very well knozvn for its fine Ironde- 
quoit melons. Still, the flavor of your Hearts of Gold is 
zvay ahead of anything we have ever tasted. 
Ohio. Your Hearts of Gold seed produced me the best 
crop I ever raised of cantaloupes of the best quality that 
l ever ate. Yours for more melons. 
Delaware. Think your Hearts of Gold are a superior 
cantaloupe to any other variety grown in this section. 
South Dakota. “Had melons last year in spite of the 
drought.” “Have had your Hearts of Gold seed a number 
of times and have had most excellent results zvith it.” 
Maryland. “The Hearts of Gold cantaloupes< shipped 
on our order were very delicious and I hope an ‘AD’ for 
us both. 1 intend to plant only Hearts of Gold and from 
seed purchased from your house. My loss this year from 
fake Hearts of Gold seed from common seed store runs 
into hundreds of dollars. I am just as proud of your ex¬ 
traordinary business service and accommodations as I am 
of your Special True-to-Name Seed.” “Had a good crop 
of Hearts of Gold cantaloupes this season. Have been buy¬ 
ing my seed from you for 9 years. Your seed has alzvays 
been good and straight. It pays to plant good seed.”
