any exaggerated statements; on the contrary, it is their place to 
be perfectly neutral in their judgements, and their habit to be 
very conservative in their praise. 
$1,000.00 PER ACRE 
The successful farmers today are watching very carefully 
the costs of producing and marketing their crops, and finding 
which ones really pay. 
Many growers have reported sales from the Champlain 
at the rate of over a thousand dollars per acre, and we have bet¬ 
tered this figure ourselves more than once. Even in the best 
seasons, the Champlain is the greatest money maker; it can al¬ 
ways be raised at the least expense and sold for the most money. 
In a very good season it often happens that all kinds of mel¬ 
ons do well, and by the time the late varieties are ready for 
market, there are so many that the price slumps below the cost 
of production. The growers of the Champlain have by that 
time picked for probably four weeks, and have already made 
more than any of the late kinds can bring. But it has been 
our experience that the people who have been buying the Cham¬ 
plain like them so well that there is always a sale for them as 
long as they last, at prices well above the standard. 
WOULD YOU 
pay $3.00 per acre for some new and wonderful fertilizer which 
would make your cantaloupe ripen from two to four weeks 
earlier than their usual time, and also give them a big yield, fine 
flavor and great hardiness? Of course yon would: it would be 
the greatest investment you could make. No, we don't know 
of any such fertilizer, tut we are giving you that effect in our 
Golden Champlain seed, at a difference of about $3.00 per 
pound over the old standard seed.

There is no other melon which combines all the desirable 
points as dees the Golden Champlain, freen the 
standpoint of results. It is the cheapest 
seed you can buy 
REMEMBER 
that cantaloupe varieties or cucumbers will mix readily if plant¬ 
ed anywhere near each other as bees carry pollen from the blos¬ 
soms for quite a distance. Also experienced growers in the 
black soil districts fr.d that they do not get as good results 
from seed that they have saved themselves and planted back on 
the same soil. It is much better policy to insure having good 
pure seed by buying each year than to risk losing the advant¬ 
ages of the Champlain by planting seed raised under ordinary 
conditions. We run no risk of possible mixing; there arc no 
other melon growers bordering on our 150 acre faint; more¬ 
over. we are constantly breeding up the quality of our seed by 
yearly selection of the finest specimens for our planting.
