CLARA LEE, FLORIDA GIANT, BLACK DIAMOND OR CANNON BALL 
Variety No. 17 
Variety No. 17 is an improved strain of the 
above varieties and you positively cannot get 
better seed anywhere at any price, as there is none 
better. Our seeds cost several times as much to 
produce as do seeds usually sold by the average 
merchant. We could produce melon seed of any 
variety for less than half our present price but if 
we did the quality would not be there and they 
would come from all sizes and little regard would 
be paid to purity. Our melon seed would be 
cheaper than the common run of seed if we 
charged you twice the price per pound. It takes 
but one pound per acre to plant the crop and on 
the average half dozen fair size melons will sell 
for enough to pay for the seeds and by planting 
good seeds you will raise many more marketable 
melons that will sell for more money than those 
grown from the low priced seeds. See price sheet 
for prices.

SEED PER ACRE 
We recommend one pound of seed 
peracre. There are 4,760 average seed 
to the pound. This will plant 303 hills 
twelve by twelve putting about 15 seeds 
to the hill, there being 43,560 feet in an 
acre. By putting enough seed to the hill 
and later thinning to two of the best 
plants to the hill, the outside plants will 
act as a protection to the inner plants, 
which often saves replanting the entire 
acreage. Thin when the plants have 
four leaves.
