TOMATOES, Continued 



MAIN CROP— PINK VARIETIES 



GLOBE. 



An outstanding variety; most valuable purple 

 Tomato. Commencing' to bear in early mid- 

 season, it produces an enormous crop of handsome, dis- 

 tinctly globe-shaped fruits of the very finest quality. On 

 light or sandy soils the yield is considerably reduced, so 

 we recommend Globe particularly for medium and heavy 

 soils, under which conditions it is sure to satisfy the mosi 

 critical of Tomato growers. As a home-garden Tomato 

 it is unexcelled, being suitable for salads, stewing, can- 

 ning — in fact, for every purpose. 



BEAUTY. A productive main-crop variety; fruits of good 

 size, smooth, solid, never cracking; quality excellent. 



BUCKEYE STATE. With the exception of Ponderosa, this 

 is the largest-fruited purple variety; late but a very 

 heavy yielder, especially on river-bottom land. Smooth 

 and meaty; purplish crimson in color. 



OXHEART. It is no doubt an off-spring of the Ponderosa 

 family. It is not a heavy cropper and not suitable for 

 general farming but more adapted to gardens where it 

 can be staked up and also for any one wanting to grow 

 prize tomatoes, as it grows enormous sized oxheart shaped 

 fruits which are of a purple color, having a very thick 

 flesh of excellent quality and very few seeds. 



TRUCKERS' FAVORITE. A purple-fruited counterpart to 

 Stone. Extremely productive; fruits large, solid, smoo'i 

 and of the finest quality. A few days later than Beaut} 

 but a heavier cropper. 



PONDEROSA. The largest of all Tomatoes, regardless of 

 color. Properly grown, a single plant will often bear from 

 20 to 30 large fruits, generally in clusters of three, each 

 cluster weighing from 1% to 2 pounds. 



EARLY DETROIT. Follows June Pink; fruits larger, uni- 

 formly smooth and well-colored. A good producer on any 

 soil. 



BECKERT'S VELVET SENSATION. Introduced by us in 

 1930, this second-early, pink fruited variety is the largest 

 Tomato we know of. It is quite smooth considering its 

 large size and the seed cell structure being broken makes 

 it quite solid. Matures in 108 days, setting in clusters of 

 from 3 to 5. Vine growth is rather tall and light green in 

 color. 



Globe Tomato 



VARIOUS OTHER TOMATOES 



DWARF CHAMPION. Compact, bushy plants averaging 3 

 feet tall by 2 feet across. Medium size, smooth, pink fruits 

 of good quality. 



DWARF STONE. A dwarf type main crop variety with scar- 

 let fruits of rather large size; solid and a good cropper. 



YELLOW PONDEROSA. A main crop yellow-fruited variety 

 of mild flavor. Fruits are large, rough and flattened in 

 shape.
