Known Origin 
_ Cantaloupe and cucumber seeds grown in Colorado and California, where Southern States obtains 
its supply, are superior in vitality and yielding ability. 
The origin of, or place where, vegetable seeds are grown is often important. For 
example, Southern States secures its cucumber and cantaloupe seeds from Colorado 
and California, where growers are experienced in breeding and growing them. Snap 
bean seed comes from Idaho and California because these states are practically free of 
antracnose disease. ©
