The value of dependable seed in cantaloupe pro- 
duction cannot be over-estimated. The loss of 
all or part of a crop due to poor germination, 
poor strain or seed-borne disease is too great 
to justify a careless seed purchase. 
Much skill, expense and experience go into the 
production of top-quality, healthy seed. And 
no matter what you pay for it, your seed cost 
is your least cost.
