THE DIENER TOMATO 
“King of All Tomatoes" 
This tomato was originated by Richard Diener in 
1917 and has proved in every respect far superior 
to any variety now existing. The size of the first 
fruit reaches the weight of three pounds, but the 
average is about one pound. The yield is very 
heavy. 
The flesh is very solid and perfectly filled out, 
leaving no hollows. For this reason it is very valu¬ 
able for dehydrating or canning. Canned, this to¬ 
mato has the finest flavor of any tomato known. It 
is used in great quantities by California's largest 
canneries. The flesh is magnificent, dark red and 
very sweet and free from acid. It produces very few 
seeds, so is exceptionally fine for catsup and best 
for tomato juice.

THE PEPPER TOMATO 
(Diener) 
A cross between Bell Pepper and Tomato. This 
tomato should be in every garden. Having the pep¬ 
per flavor added to the tomato, it has a unique 
spicy taste, and all who have used them prefer 
them for tomatoes. It is extra early bearing; never 
has any deformed fruit; very solid and more egg- 
shaped than round, and from four to six ounces in 
weight.

RUST-PROOF SNAPDRAGONS 
1935 Novelty 
(“All Colors Mixed") 
Snapdragons have been badly affected by rust 
which has killed the plants and made them un¬ 
sightly. For the past several years several growers 
have worked on them for rust-resisting qualities 
and the ones we offer here are fairly rust-proof, that 
is 75 per cent.

VAPORITE 
This is a soil insecticide which destroys all insect 
pests living in the soil, such as wireworms, nemi- 
todes, cutworms, etc. Petunias are badly affected 
by nemitodes in many localities, which often kill 
many of the young plants. Vaporite mixed in the 
soil, one pound to a cubic yard, will completely 
destroy them. After mixing, cover the soil with 
empty sacks and allow it to stand for about three 
days so the gas which forms will have plenty of 
time to take effect. After three days it will do no 
harm to the plants. 
Vaporite Your Ground —Insure your flowers and 
crops against Pest Attack. ($1,000,000 annual loss 
in California from wireworms.) Vaporite is easy 
and harmless to handle and will rid your garden or 
grounds of all forms of soil pests. Vaporite is scat¬ 
tered over the soil and forked or raked in. Vaporite 
creates a gas which remains active in the soil for a 
month. Vaporite can be safely used with growing 
plants. Vaporite is recommended by leading Ameri¬ 
can and English Seedsmen. Vaporite has been 
successfully used in Europe for 30 years and has 
the largest sale of any insecticide there.

Enterprise, Alabama, June 26, 1934. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Mr. Diener: You'll be interested to know that the 
Double Shastas are doing very nicely. Last year, being 
exceptionally dry in this section, it was with the greatest 
of difficulty that I managed to get a few plants to come 
through. This spring early I broke up the clumps and reset. 
They're doing fine and almost everybody that sees them 
simply stops and gasps at the beauty. 
Very sincerely, 
I. H. SINGLETON.
