SEEDS 13 
The Earliest Tomato in Existence 
Since the discovery of Sparks’ Earliana Tomato by the writer in 1899, and its introduction in 1900, 
we have been looking for a tomato of equal quality that would eclipse it in earliness. 
From critical tests 
the past season we believe in the Johnson’s Jack Rose we have a new and distinct variety, fully 10 
days earlier than the original Earliana. It also has the advantage of being more erect in growth, hay- 
ing a larger, stronger and more vigorous stock to support its load of fruit. —

JOHNSON’S IMPROVED Fig a 
STRAIN NO. 10 SPARKS’ 
EARLIANA TOMATO 
Sparks’ Earliana Tomato, in- 
troduced in 1900, has proved 
one of the most successful vege- 
table novelties ever introduced, 
and is now largely planted in 
all sections of the United States. 
This new strain, offered last 
season for the first, which we 
have named Johnson’s No. 10, 
is fully one week earlier than 
the original type, more vigorous 
in growth. 
Sparks’ Earliana Tomato was 
first discovered and named in 
1899, by the writer of this 
catalogue, Herbert W. John- 
son, who has since given his 
personal attention to its selec- 
tion, growth and improvement.

We publish below a few of hundreds of testimonial letters received from customers 
who grew our No. 10 Strain last season 
CHARLES H. GARDINER, Huntington, N. Y., Sept. 16, 1906, 
writes : ‘‘I planted seed of your new No. 10 Strain just one 
month later than the old Earliana; they ripened at the same 
time. They are the finest I ever saw.’’ 
HARRISON Perry, Dividing Creek, N. J., Oct. 12, 1906, 
writes: ‘‘ Your new Strain No. 10 is superior to the old Ear- 
liana, the fruit is earlier, firmer and vines keep green 
longer.” 
J. R. Jarvis, Cobden, Ill., writes: ‘‘ Your No. 10 Strain 
Earliana Tomato will prove the most profitable to market 
gardeners. I planted them in the open ground April 10th, 
and picked the first ripe tomatoes July 1st. Tomatoes large, 
sound and solid, the finest on the market.” 
A, T. Davis, Yardville, N. J., writes: “I planted your 
improved No. 10Strain side by side with the Earliana and 
they ripened two weeks sooner. Their foliage protects them 
from the hot sun, They have no equal.” 
P.M. Pettit, Piney Point, Md., Oct. 17, 1906, writes: 
“Too much cannot be said in favor of your new No. 10 Strain 
of Earliana. Sown March Ist, were ripe July ist. The 
first one picked weighed 1144 ozs. and was 12 inches in 
circum ference.”’ 
E. E. ADAMs, a large tomato grower of Leamington, On- 
tario, Canada, writes: ‘‘We find the new Earliana No. 10 
the earliest and most profitable variety, having cleaned up 
over $1,200 on two acres last season.”’ 
SARAH C. GUMBERT, Aughwick Mills, Pa., writes : ‘Your 
new No. 10 Strain brought me ripe tomatoes ten days earlier 
than the old Earliana, The new tomato is the very finest, 
very productive, and nearly seedless.’’ 
E, A. SHADLE, Lewistown, Pa., writes: ‘‘ Your new No. 
10 Strain of Earliana are not only the earliest of all, but they 
keep and retain thei: flavor tonger than any other kind after 
being taken from the vine.”’
