Culture. Sow in hotbed or shallow boxes in the house in 
early Spring-; when plants are large enough, transplant into 
hotbed or boxes and when all danger from frost is past trans¬ 
plant into open ground, about four feet apart each way. 
About 600 seeds to the packet. 
Red River Tomatoes 
MILLET’S DAKOTA. The hardiest, most 
drought resistant early Tomato. Originated 
by the late John W. Millet of Bismarck, and 
introduced by us in 1913, it is as early as the 
earliest strain of Earliana. The fruit is of 
medium size, smooth uniform shape, and of 
rich deep scarlet color. It is of high quality, 
although not as meaty as the Red River. 
Under fairly favorable conditions we believe 
the Red River will outyield Millet’s Dakota, 
but under the harshest conditions we will back 
Millet’s Dakota against all comers. Pkt., 10c; 
J4 oz., 30c; oz., 45c; lb., $1.45, postpaid. 
Millet’s Dakota 
PINK PEACH. T his excellent sort resembles a 
peach in size and shape. The surface of the fruit 
is covered with a down much like its namesake. 
It makes delicious preserves and pickles. Size 
about the same as most early sorts and excellent 
to eat fresh. Plst., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c, post¬ 
paid. 
YELLOW PLUM, a beautiful sort, much resem¬ 
bling a plum in size and shape; widely used for 
preserving. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c, post¬ 
paid. 
RED CHERRY. The fruits are very small, about 
the size of a large cherry, smooth and round. It 
bears early and freely until frost, and is used for 
preserving. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c, post¬ 
paid.

GOLD NUGGET GROUND CHERRY. (See back 
cover for colored illustration.) The largest 
Ground Cherry we have ever seen, with many 
fruits 1 *4 inches in diameter. Professor A. P. 
Yeager is truing up this stock which as yet is 
not quite straight for color, but, because of its 
size and quality we believe it worthy of intro¬ 
duction right now. Pk., 20c; oz., 60c; oz., 
$1.00, postpaid. 
RED RIVER. We could fill a fair sized book 
with letters we have received in praise of this 
variety. It is the result of a cross of Carter’s 
Sunrise, a small, very meaty, greenhouse va¬ 
riety, with one of the North Dakota Experiment 
Station’s selections of Earliana, made by Pro¬ 
fessor A. F. Yeager of the North Dakota Agri¬ 
cultural College. One of the earliest, and the 
most solid, meaty early sort we have ever seen. 
Red River is a heavy producer of bright scar¬ 
let, medium sized, slightly flattened, smooth 
fruits of solid meat and splendid flavor. Pkt., 
10c; % oz., 30c; oz., 45c; % lb., $1.45; 1 lb., 
$5.00, postpaid. 
EARLY JUMBO. The earliest large Tomato, this 
pink sort was developed by Professor A. F. 
Yeager of the North Dakota Agricultural Col¬ 
lege. It is very meaty and of high quality. 
Pkt., 20c. 
GOLDEN BISON. A fine addition to the Bison 
family. Professor Yeager has combined the 
earliness and compact habit of growth of Bison 
with a medium sized, smooth, mild Golden 
Tomato of finest quality. Attractive in salads 
especially when sliced together with Red To¬ 
matoes. This sort is worth trying. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 35c; oz., 60c. 
Strawberry or Ground Cherry 
STRAWBERRY, GROUND CHERRY or HUSK 
TOMATO—-GOLDEN HUSK. This variety is 
unequalled for canning, preserving or making 
pies. Dried in sugar as raisins or figs they are 
unexcelled. The vines cover the ground and 
yield enormously. The yellow fruits are half 
an inch in diameter and enclosed in a husk. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 30c; oz., 45c, postpaid. 
The garden seed ordered from you last spring’ 
has been very satisfactory. The first time I had 
tried North Dakota garden seeds in Mo. and 
expect to be a regular customer. I wish to men¬ 
tion especially the Bison Tomato. We have had 
a very peculiar summer. More rain than usual 
during April, May and early June, but began to 
get hot and dry the latter part of June. Con¬ 
sequently, the old “stand-by” tomatoes have 
been a complete failure. We have the only to¬ 
matoes in this part of Mo. Never saw any to¬ 
matoes bear like they do. Have canned 200 qts. 
and sold $15.00 worth. Have to gather tomatoes 
every day. Never thought any Tomatoes could 
bear like the BISON.
