(Shown in. Colors on Page 24) 



The Largest and Best Flavored Scarlet Tomato 



Almost Seedless 

 Practically Coreless 



Unparalleled in the history of tomato breeding — -Richmeat now 

 stands supreme as the World's Quality Tomato, as well as the 

 largest and meatiest. Among the remarkable characteristics of 

 this variety, are the vigorousness of its growth and its drought- 

 resisting qualities, the latter fact having been fully proven by its 

 behavior in drought stricken sections of the country during that 

 unforgettable summer of 1934 when Richmeat continued producing 

 luscious fruits after all other varieties had withered away. 



The fruits are rich scarlet in color, very large and meaty; fruits 

 weighing up to three pounds are not unusual. They are round-oval 

 slightly flattened in shape, and it is a very shy seeder as no distinct

 A Home Garden Tomato of Superior Excellence 



Customers who grew it say that they have never grown a tomato 

 that was more beautiful, more meaty, or better flavored. It is not 

 uncommon to see the vines carrying fruits weighing two pounds each. 



The color is brilliant scarlet and the skin is so smooth as to give the 

 fruits a polished appearance. The solidity and weight of this variety 

 are derived not from a thick-fleshed outer wall and tough skin, but. like 

 our famous Ponderosa, the seed cavities have given way to a solid 

 mass of meaty, succulent flesh, so that the fruit is practically seedless. 

 The plant is vigorous and 

 bears large crops of beautiful 

 fruit. Season 85 days.

 mass of rich, firm pulp. Its flavor is deliciously sweet and free
