“The Champlain is away ahead of anything in earliness, 
quality excellent and yield best of any. I am more than pleas¬ 
ed with your melon considering the very unfavorable season, 
in fact the G. C. was the only melon 1 got a crop from. I 
want to get some more seed from you next year as I am con¬ 
vinced that it is the only melon to plant in this location.

“I tried for 6 years to raise enough melons to eat. but 
never succeeded until last year, when I planted Golden Cham¬ 
plain. From 45 hills I got all I could eat. gave away a lot, and 
had some to sell. They were fine melons.’—G. B. Suncook..

"The Golden Champlain is the earliest we have ever rais¬ 
ed and the best grower: yield good and quality averages better 
than Osage. The season was the worst we ever had, below 40 
several times in June, July and August."—W. F., Muskegon.

"The Golden Champlain is the earliest I know, and also 
excels in vigor and growth. L.ast summer it was the only melon 
that did anything worth while here."—F. C. Plymouth. Mich.

"1 think the Golden Champlain is one of the very best 
varieties for local market, and I can ship them successfully for 
four or five hundred miles or more. I raise about 60 acres of 
cantaloupe here. We are troubled with rust and blight and need 
something that makes quick. Send my seed at once, as we are 
about ready to plant.”—F. W. R.. Oscala, Florida.

‘‘Feeling confident that you knew what you were talking 
about when you said the Golden Champlain was two weeks 
earlier I decided not to plant any other kind, for which I was 
very thankful later. I have tried for many years to grow mel¬ 
ons enough for my own use. but had never succeeded before. 
This year I had in one-eighth acre (just 156 hills) of your 
Golden Champlain, and not only had all 1 could eat. but market 
ed 1000 of the finest melons you ever saw. I gave a melon 
party, the first ever held in Grand Forks County, and every one 
proclaimed the melons the finest ever. My neighbors had. 
other varieties planted, but did not get any melons."—Youi 1 
very truly. C. 1. Wyman, Northern North Dakota. 
MAINE 
"Golden Champlain is the only melon that ripened for me. 
and is, I believe, one month earlier than others, for no other- 
got anywhere here, only as large as a walnut. I consider Golden 
Champlain the earliest, most productive and best quality melon 
in existence. It was also superior to all other varieties in vigor 
and growth in a very poor season."—Very truly yours. F. R. 
Cole. Northern Maine.

"My Golden Champlain were three weeks ahead of all 
others, and all other varieties are raised around here. This 
was a very poor season, cold and dry and millions of beetles. 
Will send for more seed in the near future.”—Henry Brouilctte, 
Ontario. Canada.
