Burpee’s Tomatoes 
1089 Marglobe© 
(M) No other Tomato ever introduced has been acclaimed 
as quickly as this remarkable variety which was originated 
with the Department of Agriculture in Washington. It 
is an all-purpose Tomato in every way, embody¬ 
ing all the good qualities looked for by the home 
gardener, the market grower, and the canner. 
It is particularly valuable for shipping and 
has proved to be decidedly disease-resist¬ 
ant, particularly against Fusarium Wilt 
and Nail-head Rust. The plants are 
vigorous and very productive, bearing 
a wonderful crop of uniformly globe- 
shaped, deep scarlet, large fruits. 
Young fruits have a tendency to be 
of a somewhat oval shape. The 
skin is smooth and evenly colored 
from stem to blossom-end. The 
interior of the fruits is solid, meaty, 
and juicy. The flavor of the 
bright red flesh is delicious.

1095 Burpee’s Dwarf Giant O 
(L) This is the finest and best of all dwarf Tomatoes, 
producing fruits which will weigh 10 to 20 ozs. each. 
The fruits are very attractive. They are smooth, some¬ 
what flattened, and have a rich purple-crimson skin. 
Burpee’s Dwarf Giant is the most meaty of all Tomatoes, 
with flesh free from any hard fiber or core. The meat is 
fine grained, juicy, and solid enough to stand shipping well. 
It has a most delicious and rich taste. The seed cavities 
are extremely small and it is, therefore, a shy seeder. 
Highly valued by home gardeners and market growers 
who find it a great advantage to grow a variety of compact 
habit which can be planted closely. Pkt. 15?!; V 2 oz - 40?!; 
oz. 65?!; 4 ozs. $1.95; y 2 lb. $3.55; lb. $6.50; 2 lbs. $12.10;

Burpee's 
Dwarf 
Giant 
(L) One of the largest Tomatoes ever introduced. The 
skin is purplish scarlet. It is smooth and evenly colored. 
The individual Tomatoes will weigh as much as a pound 
and a half each. The oxheart shape of the fruits is most 
distinct. They are extremely solid and have few seed- 
cells, which accounts for their enormous weight. If you 
want to beat your neighbors by growing the largest smooth 
Tomatoes, try Oxheart this year. It is a valuable variety 
which combines a rich, luscious, sub-acid flavor with a size 
that is most unusual. Pkt. 10?!; y 2 oz. 50?!; oz. 85?!; 
4 ozs. $2.45; l/ 2 lb. $4.55; lb. $8.50; 2 lbs. $16.75. 
1117 Burpee’s Self-Pruning 
(M) The limited branching habit makes it possible for the 
plant to throw all its strength into fruit production and 
consequently Burpee’s Self-Pruning is an exceptionally 
heavy cropper. The Tomatoes are perfectly smooth and 
very solid. They are of handy size, with an even- 
colored, glossy, bright pinkish red skin. The flesh is juicy 
and of delightful sub-acid flavor. Pkt. 15?!; V 2 oz. 25?!;

Follow the Bull’s Eye (o) 
If you are in doubt as to which varieties to 
choose, make your selection from those marked 
with a bull’s-eye (O). They represent, in our 
opinion, those which do well under the most 
varied conditions of soil and climate. Yet all varie¬ 
ties offered have their valuable qualities. Season of 
maturity, varied conditions of soil and climate, and 
market preferences demand that a book as widely 
distributed as Burpee’s Annual include a large 
number of different varieties. _
