Double-Purpose Special Tomatoes 
PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPER. 
SELECTED EARLIANA. 
This is a new, medium-large, very 
red, smooth, meaty globe variety 
with erect, medium dense vines. It is a very heavy cropper, requiring rich soil, well 
fertilized. Ripens just after Earliana and before Marglobe. The mild-flavored flesh 
is red throughout, very firm, with thick inner walls. A cross between Marglobe 
and Cooper’s Special, and fine for market and early-season canning. 
Excels all of the ordinary strains of Earliana. The 
_ fruits are deep scarlet, almost perfectly round, very 
solid, with a very small core and few seeds. They mature very early and uniformly 
in prolific clusters near the center of the plant, borne on strong, vigorous vines. 
New midseason hybrid from Marvel and Livingston’s Globe. 
_Entirely immune from rust and wilt. A pure scarlet, globe-shaped, 
with the size and fine qualities of Livingston’s Globe but earlier and a heavier 
cropper. Valuable for canning and marketing due to its remarkable solidity. 
This very productive hothouse variety, 
_trained to one stalk with 10 clusters, yields 
40 to 50 Tomatoes, or 10 to 12 pounds per plant in the spring crop. Picking begins 
75 days after setting plants. Still more remarkable, however, is its suitability for 
outdoor culture on stakes or trellises, to meet the growing call for hothouse-size 
Tomatoes through the outdoor season. The fruits, 4 to the pound, are round, slightly 
flattened, smooth, very firm, with no

tense brilliant orange-scarlet which, 
when displayed with other red

crop, about as early as Bonny Best, 
yields perfect fruit, and is easy to 
pick and spray against blight. Seed 
limited.
