This watermelon runs 100% pure in the fields as 
to purity and is free of diseases of any kind. 
They were inspected by the state inspectors to see 
that they conformed with the state inspection laws 
in which they were grown, as well as by us and 
our inspectors, which gives you double protection, 
usually not found in certified seed. They were 
well isolated, even farther from any other variety 
of watermelons than the certification program calls

surrounded by timber which in our opinion serves

the prime cause of mixture. 
The seed comes to you in one- and five-pound 
sealed bags, already treated with Spergon Seed 
Treatment. We cannot break a bag to ship you a 
smaller amount than one pound, so please do not 
order less than this amount. This seed should be 
ready for shipment shortly after December 15, 1950. 
We will be pleased to accept your early booking 
and ship the seed at a later date. 
See price sheet for prices. Remember, no order 
for less than one pound accepted on certified seed.
