We are endeavoring in our work to develop and introduce 
to you improved strains of cantaloupe seed. In doing so we 
hope to be of assistance to you in producing better crops of can¬ 
taloupes for market. We believe in the old adage that “the 
world will beat a path to the door of him who produces a bet¬ 
ter mouse-trap, even though he may live in the deepest forest/’ 
We have no intention of living in the allegorical “deepest for¬ 
est,” but are telling you of our product through this catalogue. 
We believe that we will have no difficulty in selling our seed 
so long as it is better than any other placed upon the market. 
All our attention is centered upon the business of seeing that 
our seed is the very best that time and care can give you. All of 
our experience of years of cantaloupe seed production is 
brought to bear upon each season’s crop. Our vigilance is never 
relaxed, otherwise the standards might be lowered and our seed 
would not meet expectations. 
We hope that in your purchase of seed that you will bear 
in mind the necessity of securing the best seed possible in order 
to assure yourself against disappointment. We hope that the 
past season has been a successful one, and that through your ex¬ 
perience of the past that you can make the coming season even 
more successful.
