FROM BROOKSTON, IND.-—Sending order for Melon seeds. I planted 
Schoon’s Hardshell and Queen of Colorado last year on rich black soil with 
no trace of sand and you never saw nicer or better melons. They sold on 
market at highest price; buyers always back for more. 
FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS.—This is the 20th year I have bought Hearts of 
Gold Cantaloupe seed from you. Sell entirely on Houston market. Never did 
crate a box. Sold $2800.00 worth last year from 6 lbs. seed and lost 1000 bu. 
from week of bad weather. Made first planting in hot bed March 10th and 
plant in field at 10 day intervals. Last planting May 20th.
