ONE OF THE FINEST EARLY COMMERCIAL CANTALOUPES 
' I 'HE NINE THIRTY-SIX has fulfilled all our expectations for this melon and as a 
result is one of the leading early varieties. It is universally used, having proven itself 
in every cantaloupe section. 
For the past three seasons we have been unable to supply the entire demand made 
upon us for this variety. This situation resulted from two causes: first, weather condi¬ 
tions were unfavorable for the production of a maximum crop of seed, which meant a 
limited supply, and, in the second place, and this reason was more important in the 
final analysis, we had an unusually heavy demand for this seed. It is an exceptional 
condition when a new variety of seed can be introduced and it will immediately displace

Thirty-Six. Immediately upon its introduction the Nine Thirty-Six was preferred to 
the older strains, and only when the Nine Thirty-Six was no longer available were the

older strains planted. This season, however, has been a very favorable one. This together 
with the fact that we had an increased acreage of the Nine Thirty-Six, means that we 
have a sufficient supply of this seed to meet the demands that will be made upon us this 
season for this variety. 
The Nine Thirty-Six is an early melon, combining with its earliness a fine flavor 
and good shipping qualities. It is a uniform melon of jumbo sizes, well netted with 
no sectors and produces a heavy yield. The Nine Thirty-Six is pink-fleshed, thick 
meated, and has a small cavity. Its earliness, its flavor, its prolificness, and its shipping 
qualities recommend it as a cantaloupe that will satisfy every grower. 
The Nine Thirty-Six is adaptable to every section of the country and you can be 
assured that you will make no mistake in using this variety.
