REDHEAD 
GROWER'S DESCRIPTION 
A new second early. We find it the most valuable of all 
the second earlies 
This is a new second early which we obtained in the West, 
and which on this first trial scored many points in earliness 
ahead of even Baer. The day we made the first picking we got 
bushels from Redhead, 1 bushel from Jewell. 'A peck from 
Baer and 10 fruits from Bonny Best, all sowed and set at the 
same time side by side and all plots about the same size. It is a 
strong grower, very prolific, the fruit bright red and very smooth, 
some of the first to set were oval in shape and weighed 12 to 14 
ounces. 
The summer of 1918 was very 
unfavorable for all our tomato 
crop and we could not make a 
fair comparison; but during the 
summer of 1919 Redhead more 
than held its own as a second early, 
and during a wet spell after a pro- 
longed drought, Redhead cracked 
less than any other variety we 
grew. And it is early. 
One of our customers says: — 
"Nov. 2-19 — I can truthfully say 
that Red Head was the best all pur- 
pose tomato I have ever grown, 
and next season I shall set out a 
much larger patch of them. I 
think it wiU be the leading market 
gardeners' tomato before long, as 
it is so early, productive and 
smooth, and of the best quality. — 
H. A. N., Mo." 
Also this: "Jan. 22-19— The 
Redhead tomato bore some fine 
fruit and promises to be a winner. 
We shall try more this year. — S. 
& W., Michigan."

for market gardeners, as well as 
desirable for the home garden.

and productive. The fruits are 
bright deep scarlet, medium to 
large, nearly round and exception- 
ally smooth for so early a variety.
