The hand-cutting of cantaloupes for seed is 
one of the best ways to secure purity and qual- 
ity. When cantaloupes are cut by hand only 
ee ee the best ones are saved for seed, the rest can 
im ae ge be discarded. 





Our cantaloupe seed is dried and cured in the 
sun. The washing, drying and milling of our 
seed is personally supervised by Millard E. Ryan, + 
who is also the secretary for the Association. a

Personal supervision is one of the keys to suc- 
cess attained by our cantaloupe seed. The crew 
shown in this photograph is hand-cutting canta- 
loupes for seed, and this crew is supervised at 
all times in their work by Phil Ryan, one of th 
members of our firm.
