Fi HYBRID VEGETABLE SEEDS AND 
SEEDLESS WATERMELON 
In this country the first F1 Hybrid Egg Plant has been introduced some 25 years ago 
ever since numerous agricultural experiment stations took such F1 Hybrids up and as a result 
many other Fy Hybrids on such vegetables as Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Watermelons, etc. have 
been produced. The improvement of these native vegetables along this line was very striking. 
Up to now, numbers of excellent Fi Hybrids of each one of the vegetables mentioned above 
have been introduced. 
It is to be noted that special artistical training for pollination work is needed, especially 
on such vegetables as Tomatoes and Egg Plants which bear flowers of small size and are so 
delicate that pistils are very easily harmed when flowers are emasculated and pollinated. The 
recent development and success of Hybrid Vegetable seed production on commercial scale can 
largely be attributed to the existence of well trained “pollinators.” These pollinators are mostly 
young girls and it requires generally at least two seasons to become a first class pollinator. 
Being overpopulated in a small area we can produce such I’ Hybrid seeds at amazing low 
prices and moreover, if furnished by you, we can assure you of the privacy of your stock seed 
as well as the accuracy of hand pollination. 35 years of reputation is in back of our business.
