Improved John Baer Tomato 
Heavy Yielding—Large Smooth Fruit 
Our improved stock of John Baer will produce fruit which will 
average larger than other strains. The crop which we grew this 
summer was not only superior in this respect to any John Baer we 
have seen but the fruit was remarkable for its evenness, fine color 
and solid well colored interior. 
The John Baer tomato has long been one of the most reliable 
sorts for market and canning as well as a favorite home garden 
variety. 
This tomato produces immense crops of large, smooth, hand¬ 
some tomatoes. The vines are strong and vigorous. The fruit is 
produced in great clusters, and is early enough to ripen the whole 
crop before frost in a normal season. 
The tomatoes are uniformly of good large size, perfectly smooth 
and regular and of a bright rich scarlet color without any green 
around the stem. The fruit is very free from cracking.

Ha ms' Early Stone 
A Tomato of Superior Quality 
The Stone has been considered for many years one of the 
very best tomatoes on account of its firmness and lack of acidity. 
For canning it is important to get a variety that is not acid and 
for this reason the Stone is especially valuable for this purpose. 
By raising the seed in this northern latitude and making selec¬ 
tions with special reference to earliness we have obtained a strain 
of Stone that not only has retained the fine qualities of flavor and 
color of the old Stone but is almost as early as John Baer. 
The vines are sturdy and prolific, bearing an abundance of 
fine fruit. The fruit is smooth, deep red throughout, very solid 
and firm and very sweet. 
We are glad to recommend this variety for the home garden 
and roadside markets where “Quality counts.”

Blue Hubbard Squash 
Macomber Turnip 
A Ruta Baga of Exceptional Sweet Flavor 
We have found this Swede Turnip or Ruta Baga of very much finer quality for table use than 
any other we have ever tried. Ruta Bagas are often rather coarse, but the Macomber is very 
sweet and fine grained. We have never tasted a turnip of any kind of such fine quality as this. 
I he turnips are white with purplish green tops; they are large, smooth, round and handsome 
with practically no neck. The flesh is white, fine grained and of a mild sweet flavor. They will 
keep all winter and remain in fine condition for the table if properly stored. 
We highly recommend this turnip for the home garden or market where quality is appreciated 
and this excellent variety finds ready sales at the roadside market. 
To get the best results the seed should be sown about the middle or last of June in the Northern 
states.

Blue Hubbard Squash 
Rapidly Becoming The Most Popular 
Large Winter Squash 
We are very proud of our very fine strain of Blue Hubbard which we 
have developed here on Moreton Farm. It is a very heavy yielder and is 
more true to color and uniform in type than any other strain we have ever 
seen. In a seven acre field which ice grew for seed this year there were actu¬ 
ally not more than three or four green squash in the whole field! 
This variety which was selected from the original Hubbard has rapidly 
found for itself a place among the leading market varieties of squash and 
in many markets far outsells the older green varieties. 
The fruit is of an attractive blue-gray color, similar type to the old Hub¬ 
bard but larger and more warted. The shell is very hard, making this 
squash an extremely good keeper. The flesh is thick, of deep yellow color 
and of fine flavor and texture. See also natural color photo on page 38for color. 
The most critical growers are very enthusiastic over our strain of Blue 
Hubbard, and we are sure there 
is no better stock grown.
