Heavy yields are necessary for a profitable crop. Our melons 
are picked for yield and uniformity, to give you a planting 
stock that will produce a heavy crop with few culls. The 
accompanying photograph shows the melons from a single 
picking in one of our seed fields. oe 
Vigorous vine growth is necessary for a profitable crop. 
One of the requirements in our selection of cantaloupes 
for seed is that they come from vigorous and healthy 
vines, such as these surrounding the Seed Breeders 
melons shown in the accompanying picture. Note the 
depth of vine growth and the healthy appearance.

Quality marketable melons are necessary 
for a profitable crop. The highest type 
melons are the only ones saved for seed, 
and all off-types are discarded. When our 
seed produces cantaloupes, like these 
Jumbo Hale’s Bests shown in the picking 
bag, then you will have no difficulty in 
finding a ready sale for them.
