“Last year I planted 2 lbs. of your Delicious Cantaloupe Seed. 
I have raised Cantaloupes for market for sixteen years at this location 
and last year’s crop was the only one I ever raised when there was 
not a loss of from 20% to 50% by splitting open on hot days after a 
shower. 
“The Delicious did not split. As your catalog does not give this 
trait and it is of great importance to Southern Growers, I am under 
the impression you do not know it.” 
(Signed) B. H. BICKNELL, Jr., 
Citronelle, Alabama. 
“The Seeds we received from you last year proved more than 
satisfactory, and have more confidence in you than all other seeds¬ 
men from whom we have bought before.” 
(Signed) JULIUS PETER, 
West Allis, Wisconsin. 
“Your seeds are the best I ever had. I believe every seed of every¬ 
thing I ordered came up.” 
(Signed) E. O. HENDRICKS, 
Evergreen, Ala. 
“I received my order of Seeds, which I ordered February 29th, 
today, March 2nd, I got everything all O. K. It sure was packed 
fine and such quick service as your firm gave the order is surely 
something to be well proud of; and I hope t<r, next year, be able 
to send a very much bigger order. 
“Thanking you very much for your quick service and wishing your 
firm every success, I am 
Yours truly, A. R. BECKELER, 
R. F. D. No. 1, Egg Harbor, N. J.” 
“I have ordered your Incomparable Second Early Beet Seed sev¬ 
eral times this season, and find them true to name. No mixture. 
We have been growing your Incomparable throughout the season 
for several years.” 
(Signed) HENRY J. HUSTER, 
3758 Neosho St., St. Louis, Mo. 
“All the seeds we got from you last year bore excellently, and we 
will have our large order in soon.” 
(Signed) E. GEORGE ESCHE,
