EARLIANA 
This is the earliest red tomato known. The 
fruit is of a deep scarlet color, which is pro¬ 
duced in clusters of five to eight, averaging 
two and a half inches in diameter and quite 
solid; it is a valuable and most profitable 
variety to grow for early market, as the profit 
in tomato culture is always in the earliness 
of the crop. Pkt., 5c; % oz., 15c; oz., 30c;

The plants are of vigorous growth, very pro¬ 
ductive, ripening evenly to the stem; about 
ten days later than Earliana; retaining its size 
to end of season. Fruit is a bright red and 
very attractive. A good sort for market gar¬ 
deners. Pkt., 5c; y 2 oz., 15c; oz., 30c;

BREAK O’DAY 
A new introduction of the U. S. Dept, of 
Agriculture, ripening about the same time as 
Earliana. It produces large, smooth, meaty, 
red globular fruits as large as Marglobe, and 
continues to bear during the entire season.

heavy cropper, solid, smooth and of fine qual¬ 
ity. Color bright scarlet, and a very desirable 
variety for either market or home garden.

BONNIE BEST 
A very beautiful early variety, following 
the Earliana in ripening. The vines are vigor¬ 
ous and produce a good crop of round and 
deep fruits, bright scarlet in color and of 
very good quality; is suitable for both an early 
and main crop. A very good variety for the 
early market and home gardens. Pkt., 5c; 
H oz., 15c; oz., 30c; H lb., #1.00; lb., #3.50. 
JUNE PINK 
This is the earliest of the pink varieties and 
is similar in habit to the famous Earliana, re¬ 
sembling that variety in every way except the 
color. Produces its fruit in clusters; ripens 
early, of fair size and continues bearing until 
frost. In markets where pink tomatoes are 
preferred, they will command a much higher 
price than any of the various red varieties.
