Burpee’s Tomatoes 
Penn State Earliana 
Tomatoes are rich in health-giving elements, and are uni¬ 
versally used as appetizing food ; All gardeners should 
grow an early crop as well as a main crop, whether they are 
for home use or market. The main crop is, of course, the 
most desirable for canning. 
The early varieties (E) mature in 85 to 95 days, the mid- 
season or second-early varieties (M) in 96 to 105 days, the 
late or main-crop varieties (L) in 110 to 120 days.
