The prairies of the West are known by all seedmen as the best adapted to the growth of such vine seeds as the Melon, Cucumber, Squash, Pumpkin, etc. Not alone on account of purity through convenience in isolating the different varieties, but for their rank growth and large yield on the rich, natural soil. Kansas, un- doubtedly, raises the best melons of any state in the union, far exceeding in quality those raised in the south. Probably the larger .share of melon seed sold by seedmen throughout the coun- try are raised in this state, where they are grown on newly turned sod. Seed are saved from large and small melons, indescriminately, and shipped to eastern seed- men. Our seeds are sown under our own supervision. In saving the seed stocks of our famous Kolb's Gem we use no melons weighing less than fifty pounds. Persons v/ho wish to make a success of raising melons will make no mistake in using our seed, as we undoubtedly have the finest strains in the country.
