TO SELL ONLY THE SEED WE GROW AND 
HARVEST OURSELVES 
r J~'0 FOLLOW the Golden Rule as nearly as possible, we will not sell you seed that 
we would not plant ourselves. 
“Life is not so short but there is always time for courtesy.” It is the desire of each 
member of our association that the spirit of courtesy and friendliness to our customers be 
our watchword. Hence should you be passing through our Valley stop and call upon us. 
We will endeavor to make your visit as pleasant and profitable as we can. If you have 
problems to solve and need assistance we will do all we can to help you. Our acquaintance 
with the cantaloupe industry in the many sections of the United States might make it 
possible for us to help you. Let us hear from you whether you are a customer or not. 
If you wish to succeed, keep this in mind, in a matter of so much importance as 
that of purchasing seed for a commercial crop a few dollars or a few days spent in a close 
personal inspection of the seed fields or an investigation of the parties who are selling the 
seed may be worth several hundred dollars to you. 
For sound practical reasons and the best use of your money, why not make an 
attempt to verify the facts before deciding whether you will spend your money for ordi¬ 
nary seed or spend it for seed of proven value? 
On the pages following we are describing the leading varieties of cantaloupes. Some 
of them may be new and unknown to you, others may be old and familiar ones that you 
have been planting for several years. Whether they are old or new, all the varieties offered 
are the finest that it is possible to produce. All the seed offered is of the highest quality 
—it is such seed as we would not hesitate to plant ourselves. 
We hope this catalogue may be of interest to you and of some assistance in making 
your choice of seeds for planting in 193 7. 
The final test of a cantaloupe is in the eating. Your melons must 
be of high quality if they are to pass this test.
