WE HAVE a wholesome respect for the Pritchard 

 Tomato. Under certain growing conditions, 

 this variety outyields all others. This particularly ap- 

 plies to New York and to New England where Mar- 

 globe ordinarily does not always ripen a full crop. In 

 maturity, Pritchard will average five days ahead of 

 Marglobe. 



Pritchard, a Marglobe x Cooper's Special hybrid, 

 originally introduced by the U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture as Scarlet Topper, was officially renamed by 

 the Department to honor its originator, the late Dr. 

 Fred J. Pritchard. His originations in wilt-resistant 

 types have had a vast influence on Tomato production 

 in the United States.
