LONG ISLAND, N. Y. 
“It gives me great pleasure to advise you that your Cham¬ 
plain melon proved a good looker, a good eater, and a good 
yieldcr. It came in early, and stayed late. 
Although an extremely unfavorable season, mainly because 
of long continued cool nights in the early part of the season, 
it stood out in the patch like a house a-fire. We have been 
trying out melons from various sections of Europe, as well as in 
the U. S. since 1906, and your Champlain stands out as a 
“high-hooker” as Long Islanders put it, and we wish you well.” 
—Loyally, Hal B. Lullerton, Director of Agriculture, Long 
Island R. R. Experiment Station.

“Our Golden Champlain melons were the only variety 
that we were able to market the entire crop before the vines 
were diseased. They were three weeks earlier than any variety 
we raised. The G. C. won the reputation of being the finest 
quality of any melon on the market, and always commanded 
the highest price. We sold $1,000.00 per acre from them, 
while cur other varieties only produced $1 50.00, the vines 
becoming diseased before the melons ripened.”—J. M. R. Lewis- 
berry, Penn. 
MARYLAND 
“The Golden Champlain is the earliest we have had, and 
in regard to quality we have nothing better. It was four weeks 
earlier than the Pearl Pink Meat and Burrell’s Pink Meat.”—

“The Golden Champlain is the best melon I have tried. 
I certainly was well pleased with it. Had melons on the mark¬ 
et two weeks before any native melons around here. Quality 
fine. Enclosed find check for $11.00 for which send me two 
pounds of seed. I may as well plant all that I feel I can take 
care of before too many find this variety and flood the market. 
The early bird gets the coin.”—E. W. H., Bristol, Connecticut.

“Your Golden Champlain is the earliest melon I have ever 
raised and a good yielder. I got more melons off % acre of yours 
than from 1 M> acres of the others, although it rained ail last 
half of May and most of June we had to keep our overcoats 
handy.”’— P. H. Syracuse, N. Y. 
“Have grown melons for market for 3 5 years and find 
your Golden Champlain to be the best I have raised. Extra 
early, vigorous grower, and fine quality.”—G. W. P., Schen¬ 
ectady, N. Y. 
TENNESSEE 
The Golden Champlain is the earliest we know of and a 
good grower, although we had a very bad season. We have 
raised cantaiopue for market for over 25 years and like the 
Champlain better than any we ever had; the season w^as so wet 
they didn’t get a fair trial.”—T. N. K., Piney Flats, Tenn.
