Wood’s Pedigree Tomatoes—Continued 
No. 422. Spark’s Earliana jf e d)5[9o 
Days]. —A real extra-early tomato, one 
that will make fruits of good 
size, solid and of 
good quality. Unfor¬ 
tunately. many seeds 
sold as Earliana pro¬ 
duce rough and ir¬ 
regular fruits. Every 
year our planting 
stock is saved from 
plants that bear only 
perfect, smooth, ex¬ 
tra-early tomatoes, 
and having followed 
this practice for a 
Spark’s Earliana. number of years, we 
1 believe our strain is 
as near perfect, will bear as early and as many fruits as any 
that can be had. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 45c; y 4 lb. 85c; lb. $3.00,

i'lO. ‘iOU. JOnn I>aer as Spark’s Earliana, but produces a 
heavier crop, and the fruits are more uniformly large and attrac¬ 
tive. The first fruits ripen among the earliest and it continues 
to bear large fruits longer than most extra early tomatoes. The 
fruits are smooth, attractive and remarkably large for so early 
a tomato. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 45c; y± lb. 75c; lb. $2.75, postpaid.

No. 423. Chalk’s Early Jewel ^Sftra^Sfy, [ comhfj^n 
very shortly after Spark’s Earliana, but a heavier cropper, with 
fruits of larger size and 
sweeter flavor. It is 
bright red or scarlet; in 
quality and handsome 
appearance like 
the Stone, but distinctly 
earlier. A particular ad¬ 
vantage is its hardy, vig¬ 
orous and robust growth, 
admitting of earlier set¬ 
ting in the field, as it is 
claimed that it with¬ 
stands cool weather and 
blight where more ten¬ 
der sorts would be in¬ 
jured. It continues bear¬ 
ing through a long sea¬ 
son. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c;

Wood’s Improved Ponderosa Tomato 
No. 436. Wood’s Improved Ponderosa 
Beefsteak Tomato [110 Days] 
Before our Brimmer was introduced, Ponderosa was the out¬ 
standing tomato in size and quality. Unfortunately, the old Pon¬ 
derosa was rough and uneven. In our improved strain the tendency 
to produce rough fruits has been overcome without in any way 
sacrificing the many fine qualities that made this fine tomato 
famous. The plants are healthy and luxuriant, quite blight-resist¬ 
ant and continuous and abundant bearers. They are so vigorous 
that even in dry seasons we have grown tomatoes of unusual size. 
The fruits are practically all meat, with exceptionally few seeds. 
If trained to a single stem, tomatoes weighing a pound or more are 
not unusual. Color, purplish pink. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; 2 ozs. 80c; 
H lb. $1.50; lb. $5.50; 2 lbs. $10.65, postpaid. 
No. 435. Greater Baltimore (Bright Scarlet). [120 Days]— 
A dependable tomato. Even in 
unfavorable seasons a big yielder of good-sized fruits; deep 
from stem to blossom ends, firm and solid and free from ridges 
and cracks. A wonderful canner as well as a fine tomato for the 
home garden. It ripens evenly to the stem and is one of the big 
croppers. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 2 ozs. 35c; V4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00, post¬ 
paid. Not postpaid, 2-lb. lots $1.75 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $1.60 per lb.; 
10-lb. lots $1.40 per lb. 
No. 431. Dwarf Stone (Bright Red). [100 Days]—Bears the 
largest fruits of any of the dwarf to¬ 
matoes. These are borne in clusters of 3 to 5, are smooth, of good 
size, ripen evenly, medium early, firm, solid, and the quality and 
flavor are first class. Ideal for the small garden, as the plants 
can be set as close as 24 inches apart. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 2 ozs. 65c;
