NORTON (CERTIFIED)—115 Days 
This is a wilt-resistant strain of the original Stone. For this reason it is considered by many as the 
superior of Stone where the wilt disease is present. The fruits are solid, and of good color, but not quite 
as deep as Landreths’ Red Rock. See uncertified seed, page 99.

PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPER (CERTIFIED)—95 Days 
The Scarlet Topper or Pritchard tomato, a new variety of considerable merit, was developed by the 
late Dr. Fred J. Pritchard, of the United States Department of Agriculture. Cooper’s Special, a self-topping 
pink tomato, was crossed with Marglobe, a red variety now widely grown. 
The plants of the new variety Pritchard (Scarlet Topper) are comparatively small, the leaves and 
stems a little coarser than those of Earliana. The vines are branching and fairly short, the tips ending in 
clusters of fruit or leaflets, thus giving it the name of “Topper.” 
The fruits are produced possibly a few days later than Earliana, medium in size and globular or slightly 
flattened at the blossom end. Features of this variety which strongly appeal to canners, are its dark red 
interior, as well as exterior color, and its extreme solidity. Another strong point in its favor as a canning 
tomato, is its large yield of ripe fruit on rich soil over a short picking period. The Pritchard (Scarlet Topper) 
has a richer, deeper red internal color than Marglobe. Do not plant this variety on light, sandy nor poor 
soil. It is best grown on rich soil. The plants should be set closer in the row than other varieties with 
larger and coarser vines. In two State Agricultural Experiment Station tests during 1933 and 1934, our 
strain of Pritchard was the unanimous choice for first place by all the judges. See uncertified seed, page 99.

STONE (CERTIFIED)—115 Days 
Our new strain of Stone produces the largest fruits in the late-maturing varieties, having a red color, 
some specimens weighing nearly a pound each. The fruits are naturally flat because of their large size, but 
are very deep in proportion. This is a heavy yielding strain, and is highly recommended where the Stone 
variety is used. See uncertified seed, page 99.

DELAWARE BEAUTY—106 Days 
The Delaware Beauty was introduced by Landreth 
in the Autumn of 1912. A showy medium-sized, red 
sort. Vine compact, deep green, blight-resistant, 
thick stemmed, extraordinarily productive. The 
fruit is almost entirely free from splits, which is a 
most distinguishing quality. It is very uniform in 
size and showy, with a habit of simultaneously 
coloring up all over the fruit. Shape.slightly flattish 
at blossom end, quite globular at stem or crown.

Brown’s Special—120 Days 
This is a new late variety of considerable merit for 
the South. The heavy, dark green foliage is a 
distinct advantage where sunscald is prevalent. 
The fruits resemble Stone in shape, but are con¬ 
siderably larger than most strains of this variety, 
and have exceptionally solid internal structure. 
A distinguishing character of Brown’s Special is 
the light green color of the fruits just before they 
ripen to a dark red color.

“THE BLOOMSDALE” 105 Days 
This is our special selection in the Greater Baltimore 
Group. It is far superior to the usual strains of this 
variety and therefore we have named it “The 
Bloomsdale.” The vines are large and healthy, and 
produce an abundance of large, slightly flattened 
deep red fruits.
