We present to you in this, our 1938 catalog, the results of our work of years, 
but more particularly the results of the 1937 season. 
We believe that we are offering to you the very finest of cantaloupe varieties. 
We feel sure that we are offering you the best seed that it is possible to grow. We 
have been extremely careful in our work to be certain that the seed that you buy 
from us will be all that we say and all that you expect. 
Essentially a partnership exists between a seedsman and his customers. Each 
must appreciate the other’s position, each must understand the other’s problems, 
and each must know something of what the other is doing, if both are to be suc¬ 
cessful. 
THIS CATALOG DESIGNED FOR YOUR BENEFIT. 
Because it is impossible for us to write to each of our customers telling them 
of our work and our varieties, we are forced to use the medium of this catalog to 
tell them of our seed. Hence we have tried to address this catalog to you. In re¬ 
turn we hope that you will write to us telling us of your work and your problems. 
We have described our varieties truthfully in order that you will understand 
exactly what to expect from each one. We will, in the few pages immediately 
following, describe something of our policies and methods, in order that you may 
understand what we are attempting to do for you. 
Careful selection is an important part of cantaloupe seed harvest. This illustration 
shows the selections being made in Mildew Resistant No. 45 cantaloupes.
