James B. Ryan, the ''Melon 
Doctor’ of Saturday Evening 
Post fame, has been actively 
engaged in cantaloupe seed ‘ 
production since 1907. He 
supervises all the work of 
producing our quality seed 
and personally handles the 
washing, drying and milling 
of the seed. Phil L. Ryan, on 
the right, personally super- 
vises all the field work dur- 
ing harvest. Phil is in the 
field at all times when the 
cutting crews are at work 
to see that only the finest 
melons are cut for seed. 











The test of the cantaloupe 
is in the eating. Good 
cantaloupes must look good 
and taste good. It is our 
responsibility to supply you 
with seed that will produce 
melons of fine flavor. Can- 
taloupes properly grown 
and properly harvested will 
please the customer and 
bring repeat orders.
