TOMATO 
W. D. CO.’s NEW EARLY RED —We have 
given this variety the above name because it is 
exactly what the name implies. It is New, hav¬ 
ing just been tested out this year 1931, with grati¬ 
fying results. 
It is Early, as our trials have shown it to be 
much earlier than the Marglobe and ripened very 
soon after the Earlianna. 
It is Red. It is a brilliantly colored tomato, 
with the color evenly distributed to the stem end 
and through the flesh. Its beautiful red color 
has attracted attention and quite an interest by 
tomato dealers, growers, canners and others. It 
is of the round type, which the canners desire. 
The plants are vigorous in growth, wilt resistant 
and although the foliage is sufficient to give the 
tomato protection it is not dense enough to inter¬ 
fere with proper coloring. During recent years 
the canning houses have been encouraging the 
growing of an early round red tomato and this 
one has certainly met the requirements, as to 
earliness, color, shape and productivity, and pro¬ 
duces a very low percentage of culls. Our seed 
stock of this variety is limited to a small quantity 
at this time and we therefore quote prices accord¬ 
ingly. Pkt. 20c; oz. 60c; % lb. $2.00; lb. $6.00. 
W. D. Co.’s New Early Red 
WISEMAN-DOWNS CO.’s WILTPROOF TO¬ 
MATO —Our ever present efforts to produce an early 
tomato of perfect quality at the same time absolutely 
wiltproof, has been crowned with success. By the care¬ 
ful selection of the seed stock, as to quality, color, growth 
of vine, blight resisting qualities, etc., and by crossing 
the early varieties we have truly succeeded in producing 
a tomato; the vine of which is of remarkably strong 
growth, often times putting out second growth and cover¬ 
ing the ground in five foot rows, making an excellent pro¬ 
tection to the fruit from the hot sun rays. The fruit is 
of globular shape, but inclined to be deeper than any 
other variety. Perfectly smooth, no ridges and of a 
nice size. Very solid and meaty and comparatively few 
seeds. The color is a beautiful red and of a very attrac¬ 
tive appearance. Immensely productive. We will have 
only a limited supply of seed for this season owing to 
the small quantity which each fruit produces, we there¬ 
fore suggest placing your order early before the supply 
is exhausted. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.50; lb. 
$5.00. 
BREAK’O’DAY —This variety was introduced by 
Dr. F. J. Prichard of the Dept, of Agriculture and is fast 
becoming one of the most popular. The fruit is of a 
beautiful red; meat very fleshy, few seeds, shaped very 
much similar to Marglobe, but earlier in some sections, 
having reached maturity three days later than the 
Earlianna. Vines of a healthy vigorous growth. Wilt¬ 
proof and Disease-proof. Very prolific. 
The seeds we order are of our own growing from the 
original Dr. Prichard stock. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. 
90c; lb. $3.00. 
MARGLOBE—SPECIAL STRAIN —A cross between 
the Marvel and the Globe. Unlike the Globe, this 
variety has red fruit, it is second early in maturity, and 
the plants are medium large and erect, its foliage shading 
the fruit and preventing sun scald. Fruits are large, 
smoth and globe shape, almost coreless. A very produc¬ 
tive variety well adapted for truck growing, shipping 
as a canning sort. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; X lb. $1.50; lb. 
$5.00.
