BISON. The Tomato for Northern Gardens. The best early 
tomato yet developed by Professor A. F. Yeager, this sort is 
self-pruning or determinate in growth. In place of wasting 
its vitality in continuous branching, as do practically all 
other Tomatoes, Bison grows a compact plant and puts all its 
energies into producing and ripening a heavy and extra early 
crop of smooth, solid, meaty, medium sized red Tomatoes. 
In 1930 Professor Yeager had a plant in his plot that pro¬ 
duced 40 pounds of ripe fruit. One of our customers wrote 
in of a Bison plant that bore 42 pounds of ripe fruit. Do 
not prune Bison plants. We believe this is the best thing 
that Professor Yeager has developed to date and that is 
saying a lot. Pkt., 10c; 34 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; 34 lb., $1.75; 
1 lb., $0.00, postpaid. 
Have been growing your Bison Tomato for three years. Had 
plants with as many as 85 nice tomatoes on them—beat any 
variety I ever saw. A. A. McPARLAND, Orr, Minn. 
JOHN BAER. Slightly earlier than Bonny Best, this sort is a 
heavy yielder of smooth, firm, medium large sized scarlet 
fruits. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; *4 lb., $1.10, postpaid. 
PONDEROSA. A very large, solid meated, purplish-red tomato. 
It is a little late for the ordinary northern garden, but we 
list the earliest northern grown strain in response to a de¬ 
mand from southern 
customers and some 
northern gardeners 
who wish to grow the 
largest tomatoes. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 
25c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., 
$1.25, postpaid. 
FARGO YELLOW 
PEAR. In this new 
sort Professor A. F. 
Yeager of the North 
Dakota Agricultural 
College has com¬ 
bined the earliness 
and self pruning 
habit of his Bison 
Tomato with typical 
Yellow Pear Fruit. 
Its extreme earliness 
and heavy yields are 
worth while. Pkt., 
10c; y<& oz., 35c; oz., 
00c. 
Bison Tomato 
(Typical llnpruned Plant) 
EARLIANA. Selected Early Strain. 
One of the earliest and best of 
the early varieties. It is very 
productive for an early sort. 
The fruit is fair sized, round, 
very smooth and solid and pro¬ 
duced in clusters in the center of 
the plant. The color is a bright 
scarlet. You simply cannot beat 
our strain of this grand old sort. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 
postpaid. 
34 lb., $1.10, 
The Bison Tomato is the only 
tomato to raise in our city gar¬ 
den because it matures early. 
We won 1st prize on our garden 
last summer, and I know it was 
the tomatoes that done it.

Selected Earllnna 
Last year 1 planted some of your Ladak Alfalfa on 
dry land. Some of it came to bloom the first year 
though it was so dry. It was about 12 inches high. — • 
Mrs. Emery Bergman, It. No. 2, Power, Mont. 
RED HEAD. This new variety 
is one of the very best second 
early sorts. As early as Chalk’s Jewel it is nearly as 
large as Stone. Very productive, the fruits are nearly 
globe-shaped and very solid. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 25c; oz., 
40c; 34 IB-) $1.25, postpaid. 
BONNY BEST. Very nearly as early as Millet’s and Earli- 
ana, the bright deep scarlet fruits ripen more evenly than 
do those of any other early scarlet variety and are of su¬ 
perior solidity and interior color. A good yielder and 
most attractive in shape and color. This sort is coming 
rapidly to the front both for the home and market gar¬ 
den. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., $1.10, postpaid. 
MARGLOBE. An all-purpose, midseason Tomato devel¬ 
oped by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The fruits 
are medium large, nearly globular, smooth and solid. 
This variety is resistant to wilt. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., 
$1.10, postpaid. 
WONDERBERRY—GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY. Not a true 
■Huckleberry, but ’belonging to the same family as do To¬ 
matoes, Eggplant, and Pepper, this is very productive of 
round, nearly black fruits, but little smaller than a C'oncoid 
Grape. These fruits when fully ripe make excellent pies, 
preserves, and jam. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c.
