back to Mother Nature seeds that come from a fine head of wheat, a beautiful 
flower, or a prime, luscious melon, knowing that she will return a yield many- 
fold. No more will he cheat her with seeds of inferior or doubtful quality, for 
there is neither satisfaction or profit in growing crops from poor or mingled seed. 
He knows that Nature can be gracious and kind, if he follows the rules she has 
so plainly shown us. 
We trust that among the books and papers which he has gathered for study 
will be found this catalog. In perusing its pages we hope he may find pleasure 
and profit. Our long experience in the breeding, growing and selection of plants 
has taught us many things of interest and help for the farmer. 
This catalog is designed to help the farmer to pick the variety of seed best 
suited for his needs. Only seed of the very best quality is offered on these pages. 
We have been growing quality cantaloupe seed for 43 years. Our purpose in 
all these years has been to produce the very finest seed that it is possible to 
grow. The greatest care is taken to insure that only the finest melons are saved 
for seed. Care is exercised in seeing that the seed is pure and true to name. The 
experiences of these 43 years, combined with the best modern methods of pro- 
duction and careful supervision of the harvest, enables us to offer you the finest 
quality of cantaloupe seed that can be produced. The seed is sold to customers 
in every state in the nation and to customers in several foreign countries. The 
seed is planted under a wide variety of conditions, in many types of soil. Be- 
cause of the high quality of the seed, it produces well in all these different 
sections and under all these varying conditions. This experience is your best 
guarantee that in buying the seed listed on the following pages you will be 
taking the first and most important step toward a successful crop. 
While the selection of the best seed is fundamental for a bountiful crop, the 
job is not done when the seed is planted. Many problems confront the farmer 
and he wants information on them so that his seed may have the best oppor- 
tunities for growth. Besides supplying the finest seed that it is possible to grow, 
we publish a series of informational sheets designed to meet the challenge of 
nature. We feel that this additional service of supplying information on disease, 
insects, and methods of production is a part of our duty to our customers. Our 
assistance can be had for the asking. If you have any questions regarding seed 
or cantaloupe production, write to us. We will be pleased to hear from you.
