PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPER (CERTIFIED)—95 Days 
The Scarlet Topper or Pritchard Tomato, a new variety of considerable merit was 
developed by the late Dr. Fred J. Pritchard, of the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture. Cooper’s Special, a self-topping pink tomato, was crossed with Marglobe, a red 
variety now widely grown. 
The plants of the new variety Scarlet Topper are comparatively small, the leaves 
and stems a little coarser than those of Earliana. The vines are branching and fairly 
short, the tips ending in clusters of fruit or leaflets, thus giving it the name of “Topper.” 
The fruits are possibly a few days later than Earliana, medium in size and globular 
or slightly flattened at the blossom end. Features of this variety which strongly appeal 
to canners, are its dark red interior, as well as exterior color, and its extreme solidity. 
Another strong point in its favor as a canning tomato, is its large yield of ripe fruit on rich 
soil over a short picking period. Pkt., 10c. Oz., 70c. a lb., $2.25 
LANDRETHS* RED ROCK (CERTIFIED) —110 Days 
A choice sort, exceedingly solid, or, in other words, free from water, full of pectin, 
that is, a gum-like juice. Nothing like it in this respect. Shape round or full-bottomed, 
smooth as an apple, free from splits, small cavity at stem end, ripens all over, fruit borne 
in clusters. Vine very healthy; quite rust-resistant. Plant in rich soil. Several days 
earlier and more productive than Stone. It is rounder, a deeper red, more solid or 
meaty, larger fruited. See page 76 for uncertified seed.

STONE (CERTIFIED) —115 Days 
A superior sort, a great favorite in all gardens. Used extensively by commercial 
canners. It is a late sort, productive, producing large, solid, bright red, smooth fruit. 
One of the old proven standbys. See page 76 for uncertified seed. 
THE BLOOMSDALE— 105 Days 
A wagon load of the Landreths’ 
Bloomsdale Tomato is very showy. 
The Earliana, earliest Tomato of any 
size, ripens a week sooner than the 
Bloomsdale, but it is somewhat flat, 
while the Landreths’ Bloomsdale is far 
superior, being plump, smooth and a 
continuous picker, which the Earliana 
is not, thus affording little comparison 
with the famous Bloomsdale variety. 
In tonnage it is at least a 50% larger 
cropper than the Earliana, consequent 
upon its everbearing quality. It is 
most admirably adapted for a canners’ 
sort, being unusually large, round, 
smooth, very meaty and crackless, not 
losing much weight in skinning, a re¬ 
peater in fruiting, consequently a 
heavy picker each time. We pick it 
seven times at intervals of ten days, 
that is, 70 days of picking. The 
habit of the plant is particularly hardy, 
being free from disease, both at stem 
and blossom ends.
