Sugar Lumps Are Wonderful 
“Dear Henry: 

Your yellow Sugar Lump 
melons are simply wonderful. Sweet as 
honey. Believe me, I shall plant more of 
these next summer.”—Wm, F isher, Jr., Box 
243, Cohoes, New York, 
Payment in Nursery 
Sometimes you customers send in .or- 
ders that include some express collect 
and some postpaid items. When these 
two go out together, which sometimes 
happens, in the same package you have 
to pay charges on the items which should 
have been postpaid. Of course, this isn’t 
fair, so to make up for this extra charge 
to the customer I always try to send 
along some extra nursery stock which 
more than makes up for postage charges. 
This way, you get a good bargain.

Another Request for Pictures 
As usual, every time I put out a new 

~ Seed Sense I come asking for more pic- 
tures. Couldn’t put out my Seed Sense 
without them. Always enjoy looking at 
them and I know all my customers that 
receive this little magazine enjoy them, 
too, because I recéive lots of letters tell- 
ing me so. Pictures of yourself, family 
or friends showing some of your garden 
produce, ete., all are appreciated. Be- 
sides helping me, you help yourself be- 
cause remember I pay 50c for every pic- 
ture I use, and use as many as I can in 
every issue, so send yours in now.
