GARDEN SEEDS 
In presenting our garden seeds on the following pages, we offer you some splen- 
did varieties, the seed of which we have grown and harvested ourselves. There is 
not a wide variety of seeds, but you will find quality in them all. 
We are specialists in the production of cantaloupe seed and take great pride in 
the quality and purity of our cantaloupe seed. We feel that time and experience have 
proven that we lead all others in offering the newest and best varieties in our special 
field. As farmers, however, you well know that it is impossible to limit your farm to 
a single crop. We meet the same situation here at Rocky Ford, and are forced to grow 
other crops besides our specialty of cantaloupes. With this condition prevailing, we 
decided years ago to take advantage of this situation, and utilize the remaining por- 
tion of our farming activities in the growing of other garden seeds. All of the gardén 
seed listed on the following pages have been grown by ourselves on our own farms. 
While the list is not large, it is a select group of vegetables of standard varieties of 
proven worth. 
Among the cucumbers offered, you will note two comparatively new varieties, 
the A. & C. and the Taxpayer, that are as fine as can be developed. The other varieties 
listed are all ones that have stood the test of time and experience because of their 
splendid merit. The tomato varieties listed on pages 26 and 27 are both old standard 
kinds and new improved strains. Our tomato seed this season was of exceptional 
quality. Among the beans offered, we wish to call your attention particularly to the 
Hopi Indian bean, asking you to read the description on page 31, and if you have not 
grown it before to try it this season. 
On page 29 we are introducing for the first time in our catalog a hybrid sweet 
corn. We have selected this particular variety because we believe that it is one of 
the finest on the market and we are sure you will like it. Ordinarily we do not offer 
seed that has not been grown by ourselves, but in this instance, we believed our 
customers would like to have us list a hybrid sweet corn even though not grown by 
ourselves. The popularity of the Sunburst pop corn, listed on page 28, has been 
growing rapidly, and last season we sold more of this seed than ever before. You 
will certainly make no mistake in planting this corn. With our Sunburst pop corn 
seed, careful tests on yield, popping qualities, and size of the ear have produced a 
pop corn of exceptional quality. Here again we feel that we are offering an unusual 
opportunity for you to take advantage of long years of seed breeding. 
Your order of the vegetable seeds listed on the following pages will receive our 
prompt and careful attention. These are standard varieties and we have taken care 
to see that they meet exacting requirements of quality and purity. You will find them 
as good as it is possible for you to buy anywhere.
