Perfection Brand Delicious Tomatoes 
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. 35c; ^4 lb. $1.25, 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; *4 oz. 20c; 
oz. 60c, 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.
