93. THE 

 PRITCHARD 

 TOMATO 



So named by 

 the U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture ' 

 in honor of its originator, 

 the late 

 Dr. Fred J. Pr it chard 



THE stock we herewith offer, certified by the State of New Jersey as to type- 

 purity and freedom from disease, will prove one of outstanding merit. The 

 original name of this stock was Scarlet Topper, but soon after Dr. Pritchard's 

 passing the Department officially renamed it Pritchard, an honor that was emi- 

 nently deserved. It is a cross of Marglobe and Cooper's Special, with most of the 

 quality of Marglobe and at the same time the earhness of Bonny Best. The plant 

 has a definite self-topping tendency. This restricted plant-growth should be 

 counteracted by heavy applications of ammonia (fish, king crab, or tankage) in 

 the early weeks to insure full production. With proper fertilization it is a heavily 

 productive variety. The fruits have very much the appearance and quality of 

 Marglobe, being large, smooth, globular, and solid, with thick walls and heavy 

 cross-sectors. It has already made an important place for itself with growers who 

 could profit by advancing their season a week over Marglobe.
