CATALOG serves as a display case for the presenting of seed by mail. 
It gives the buyer a description of the different varieties of seed. It tells him of 
the particular advantages of each. It helps him to decide which variety should 
perform best under his conditions. 
Without such descriptions, it would be almost impossible for the grower to 
choose the proper melon from among the many that are now in use. Even when 
the grower is given accurate descriptions it is difficult to determine which variety 
or strain is best for his conditions. Therefore even the most honest and accurate 
seed catalogs only partly answer the questions of the grower. 
Equally necessary, along with the catalog, is a seed grower of long experience 
and good reputation. Such a seedsman can be of great help to the cantaloupe 
grower. Out of his long experience the seedsman can answer the particular ques- 
tions of the grower and suggest the proper varieties for particular purposes and con- 
ditions. Also the seedsman can give advice and help in solving problems of disease 
and insects, of marketing, and a host of other factors. 
Therefore the grower should select his source of seed with care, basing his 
choice not only on the varieties offered, but also on the experience and reputation 
of the seedsman. Having been producing cantaloupe seed since 1909, we are
