USE SPERGON TREATED WATERMELON SEED ONLY 
Anthracnose is the worst disease of water- 
melons in the nation, and with the possible ex- 
ception of California it occurs in every watermelon 
production region in the United States. 
If you use treated seed, you do not take the 
fungus into the fields with you, for the fungus got 
on the seed when they were extracted, no matter 
where they came from. Often a grower will plant 
treated seed for the first or second planting, but 
neglect or forget to use treated seed for the third 
planting. It is more important that these late plant- 
ings should be treated because anthracnose is a 
high temperature fungus disease, it works best 
and fastest when the soil is warm. 
Spergon seed treatment will also control gummy 
stem blight; however, both or either of the above 
diseases can be blown in to your field if your 
neighbor has used untreated seed, or if the field 
was infested the season before, the fungi will live 
in the soil and be carried to your field by the wind, 
as well as on your shoes, if you walk through an 
infested field and then into your own which is 
disease free. 
We are using and strongly recommend SPER- 
GON for the treatment of these diseases as we 
have found it to be the best treatment yet dis- 
covered and we have tried out all the leading 
brands and have not found a single sign of water- 
melon disease in our seed fields in more than six 
years, where the seed were treated.

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER 
There will be no refund on seed that has been 
out of our office more than thirty days from ship- 
ping date. We have in a few instances had cus- 
tomers ask to return surplus seed when they had 
ordered too heavily, anticipating a freeze, and in 
practically every case it has been too late for us to 
resell the seed that season. For this reason we will 
not accept seed returned for refund that has been 
out of our office more than thirty days from our 
shipping date; positively no refund at any time 
after the seal has been broken on the bag. 
WARRANTIES 
The WILLHITE MELON SEED FARMS gives no 
warranty, expressed or implied, as to the produc- 
tiveness of any seeds it sells and will not be in 
any way responsible for the crop. Our liability, 
in all instances, is limited to the purchase price of 
the seed. 
Neither are we responsible for the purity or va- 
riety, shortage or failure of crop, stenographic

CUSTOMERS—NOTICE AND REMEMBER! 
We pay the postage when only 29c packages 
are ordered. Should your order include as much 
as ¥% pound of any variety of seed other than 25c 
packages, you pay the postage on the full amount. 
If you send too much postage, same will be re- 
funded to you in postage stamps in your package 
of seed, wrapped in wax paper. 
Please remember there has been an increase in 
postal rates. I would advise you, whenever it's 
just as convenient, to order your shipment made 
by railway express and you can pay the shipping 
charges at your end of the line and, too, the pack- 
age is automatically insured up to fifty dollars 
without additional cost.
