Hastings’ Long Keeper Toma^ 
For an extra ear- 
ly, really good to- 
mato this new pro- 
lific variety of ours 
is a wonder and the 
market gardeners or 
shippers who plant 
it are bound to get 
those top prices of 
the earliest market. 
It’s a wonder for 
extra earliness, 
smoothness and 
heavy bearing ; im- 
m e n s e 1 y prolific, 
combined with vig- 
orous growing qual- 
ities. Begins to “set” 
fruit from the first 
blooms and as the 
foliage is rather 
light ' and open it 
lets the sun in to 
color and ripen the 
fruit quickly. Our 
illustration from a 
photograph shows 
its extremely heavy 
bearing qualities. Begins with the 
earliest and keeps right along bearing. 
Fruits are from 2y‘>. to 3 inches in di- 
ameter; rich red color and ripen even- 
ly. It is a splendid shipper and of 
very good eating quality for home gar- 
den use. Its smoothness of skin and 
regularity are exceptional for an extra 
early variety. If you are a truck grow- 
er you cannot afford to miss planting 
it; if you are a home gardener you 
need it for earliest use. We have see^ as many as 34 good sized, 
smooth, ripe tomatoes on a single plant in our seed crops at one 
time. Immensely prolific and beyond question the most desirable ex- 
tra early tomato offered for sale. It represents years of closest and 
most careful work in seed selection and plant breeding. Packet, 10 
cts.; yz oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; % lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00; postpaid.
