Sparks’ Earliana 
Everyone likes a good Tomato and every garden should have at least a dozen hills of Tomatoes. They may take a 
little more work than some other vegetables, but the occasional hoeing needed is well repaid by the constant supply 
of delicious fresh fruit all summer long. When the first frost comes in the fall, there are usually a number of green 
Tomatoes left on the vines. These make an excellent pickle which will be relished the whole winter. We pay special 
attention to raising Tomato plants for the home garden. 
SPARKS’ EARLIANA—Coming into the market before any other sort, 
it commands top prices. The fruits are solid, uniform in shape, and 
of a rich bright-red color. The Tomatoes are produced in clusters, and 
generally can all be gathered in about three weeks from the time the 
first fruits ripen. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; % lb. 70c; lb. $2.25, postpaid. 
NEW PRITCHARD, or SCARLET TOPPER—This is a new tomato 
originated by the late Dr. Pritchard of the U. S. Department of Agri¬ 
culture. It is early, fruits large, smooth, meaty, very red, globular. 
Vines medium, dense, erect, self-topping and very prolific. 
Especially bred up for a green-wrapped tomato, it is also an excellent 
canner and it ripens well up to the stem end. It has a tendency to set 
a rather large number of fruits, therefore requires either a naturally 
fertile soil or one well fertilized in order to size up the- fruit properly and 
produce maximum quantity of fruit per vine. Packet 10c; 14 oz. 30c; 
oz. $1.00, postpaid. 
MARGLOBE—This new tomato is the result of the efforts of Dr. F. 
Pritchard of the United States Department of Agriculture who has suc¬ 
ceeded in producing a perfectly globe-shaped tomato of the most beau¬ 
tiful red color. It bears an abundant crop of good sized fruit which 
ripens well up to the stem. It is a second early sort and has proven 
to be disease resistant in the section where tomato diseases are most 
prevalent. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; % lb. $1.00, postpaid. 
LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE—The greatest shipping Tomato known. The 
finest early purple tomato in existence. Very distinct in shape, firm 
fleshed, of delicate flavor, almost blight-proof. Livingston’s Globe is 
an extra good, all-round sort, of a distinct globe shape or elongated 
fruits. On account of its shape, it permits a great number of slices 
to be made from each fruit. We class it with the first early varieties. 
It is always smooth, of firm flesh and few seeds; ripens evenly; color, 
a fine glossy rose, tinged with purple. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; % lb. $1.25, 
postpaid. 
GULFSTATE MARKET—Although this variety was de¬ 
veloped primarily to meet the demands of tomato growers 
who ship to distant markets, its many excellent qualities 
make it also a very desirable sort for the home gardener 
or the grower for local markets. Fruits medium to large, 
round or globe shaped, show but little depression about 
stem and are smooth and free from cracks. Color, deep 
purplish pink, ripening well about the stem. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 40c; *4 lb., $1.25, postpaid.

This seed is grown for us in the North by an experienced 
man that grows no other variety of tomato. This variety 
produces the most perfect High Crown Tomato ever grown.

right up to the stem and has no blight, no cracked, no 
wrinkled, no one-sided scarred fruits. When dead ripe John 
Baer will not burst. Has a mild, delicious sweet flavor,

ping tomato on the market. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz.,

BREAK O’DAY—This varety is a cross between the Mar- 
globe and Marvana, possessing the disease-resisting quality 
in both to a very marked degree. In size, color, shape 
and solidity the fruit is very much like Marglobe but ma¬ 
tures from ten to twelve days earlier. It produces a very 
heavy plant and from a standpoint of yield is one of the 
most prolific varieties ever introduced. The fruit is globe- 
shaped and of a beautiful deep scarlet color, and is un¬
