The Great Canner 



Bolgiano's John Baer Tomato 



Stands pre-eminent as an all-pur- 

 pose tomato. It has gained fame 

 throughout the entire breadth of the 

 nation as the ideal canning tomato. 

 It is one upon which dependence can 

 be placed at all times and under most 

 adverse conditions to produce a crop 

 of large, smooth and solid fruit in 

 greater numbers than any other va- 

 riety. For the home grower and 

 trucker it remains the old standby 

 that turns up every season with the 

 money-making crop. Too much can- 

 not be said of our strain of this splendid tomato. We have year after 

 year reselected and improved our stock of this most wonderful tomato 

 until today we confidently believe we have the finest, truest, purest 

 stock in the world. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; Yi lb., $1.15; lb., $4.00, postpaid. 



275. The Bolgiano Tomato 



The Potato Leaf Tomato 



Blossoms continually. Every vine is just loaded with perfect red 

 solid tomatoes all during the season. The Bolgiano Tomato is two 

 weeks earlier than Earliana. First fruit just as perfect as the prime 

 fruit of the season. The heavy potato leaf foliage protects the fruit 

 from sun scalds and blisters. The large stem set clusters make it a 

 profitable tomato for the grower. Never have we received such ac- 

 knowledgments from any of our own creations as we have the "Bol- 

 giano" tomato. Pkt., 10c and 25c; oz., 45c; </4 lb., $1.35; lb., $5.00,

A Marvelous Wilt-Resistant Tomato Bred to the 

 Highest State of Perfection 



In _ repeated tests, planted at the same time and given 

 identical cultural conditions, other .varieties were completely 

 destroyed by wilt while The Washington was free from wilt 

 and produced a good crop of frmt. 



The Washington Tomato produces a heavy crop of medium 

 large, smooth, solid, beautiful red tomatoes. Free from 

 cracks. Few seeds, consists almost entirely of plump solid 

 meat. Mild, delicious, sweet flavor. Matures about the same 

 time as Stone and Greater Baltimore, but a much heavier 

 yielder of more solid fruit. Fruits in large clusters. A won- 

 derful drought resister. From the time it begins to ripen 

 continues to bear heavily until killed by frost. Large vines 

 that protect the fruit from the hot sun.

 soils that are free from wilt.
