SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Pritchard, or Scarlet Topper. 



TOMATOES 



1 oz. to 2,000 plants; ^ lb. per acre. 



All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclasively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced growers and 

 experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in onr catalog, and therefore strongly 

 recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. 



For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and 

 half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should 

 be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the 

 pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a 

 few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three 

 workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the plants. 



Extra Early Varieties 



Improved Advance An extra early large tomato 

 <.><.|^> vi/t^u. ^M.^%y^,-\,^ ^£ jjjgjj quality^ round or 



slightly flattened shape, and exceptionally smooth for such 

 an early variety. As early and hardy as Earliana and yield- 

 ing more fruit both in the first and subsequent pickings. 

 It is more shapely, more free from cracks and shows less 

 green about the stem than other extra early sorts. With 

 Improved Advance the grower can produce a crop which 

 will stand superior in appearance and quality, in compe- 

 tition with the other extra earlies and command the fancy 

 prices of an early market. 



RrPnk O'Dnil ^^- ^'^^^ •'■ Pritchard of the U. S. Dept. 

 ifi Kiun, \y Ayiiy ^^ Agrriculture describes his new crea- 

 tion as follows: "Very productive, early variety, highly le- 

 sistant to wilt and somewhat resistant to blights. Fruits 

 large, smooth, meaty, red, globular." 



C/»/i*-/£>/ rimiirt Winner of a Gold Medal in the 1934 

 OLUriKL UUWn ^„ American Trials. This hybrid of 

 Clark's Early and Marglobe has the shape and structure of 

 Marglobe, but a brighter scarlet color. It is earlier than 

 Bonny Best and yields as heavy as Brenk-O'Day. Excellent 

 shipping quality as well as being desirable for home growing. 



Hl/fffPfQ Developed under the direction of Prof. L. G. 

 " Schernierhorn of the New Jersey Agr. Experi- 



ment Station. The fruits begin ripening at the center, are 

 highly colored throuKhout and have a thick wall structure 

 with very small seed cavity. In comparison with Marglobe 

 they are slightly more flattened at the stem end and will 

 average much larger. Very prolific and desirable for can- 

 ning, market or the home garden. (Certified Stock.)
