The Largest and Best Flavored Scarlet Tomato 



paralleled in the history of tomato breeding — Richmeat now 

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

 st and meatiest. Among the remarkable characteristics of 

 variety, are the vigorousness of its growth and its draught- 

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

 /ior in drought stricken sections of the country during that 

 getable summer of 1934 when Richmeat continued producing 

 >us fruits after all other varieties Bad withered away. 



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

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

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



seed cells are produced, but on the contrary it develops a solid 

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

 from acidity. 



When setting out plants of Richmeat, it is recommended to 

 space them farther apart than ordinary varieties, on account of its 

 vigorous habit; also the yield and size of the fruits will be increased 

 if some of the superfluous foliage is pruned away. 



Richmeat is a main crop variety, and its bearing season covers a 

 long period. We heartily recommend it to home gardeners and 

 roadside stand producers, who cater to a quality trade.

 A Home Garden Tomato of Superior Excellence

 ivas more beautiful, more meaty, or better flavored. It is not 

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

 a polished appearance. The solidity and weight of this variety 

 Tived not from a thick-fleshed outer wall and tough skin, but, like 

 amous Ponderosa, the seed cavities have given way to a solid 

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

 ty of the flesh is caused by the lack of distinct seed cells, and in 

 espect is identical to the Red Beefheart. The quality and flavor 

 iceptionally fine, and due to the low acidity is very sweet'.
