SALZER’S TENDERLOIN TOMATO 
See page 73 for description of this elegant, new, solid, meaty 
tomato, fittingly named Tenderloin! Market Gardeners, reap the 
highest market prices with it. It is always in demand at top 
prices! Home Gardeners, have the meatiest tomato grown, right 
in your own garden. It will please you! Salzer’s Tenderloin is 
proclaimed by all who have grown it as the most solid and most

SALZER’S BREAK O’DAY TOMATO 
A new early tomato, disease-resistant, developed by the late Fred J. 
Pritchard, Senior Physiologist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
Break O’Day is about 10 to 15 days earlier than Marglobe, from which it 
was developed, with fruit fully as large. The large scarlet, almost 
globular fruits mature in 120 days, they do not crack, are very solid, 
with few seeds, and are of delicious flavor. Very productive.

% lb., $2.25; lb., $4.00, postpaid. 
PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER 
Another heritage of the late Fred J. Pritchard of the U. S. 
Dept of Agriculture! This new early variety produces beautiful 
red fruits, smooth, meaty, globular in shape and with an elegant 
flavor. Scarlet Topper is enormously prolific and therefore should 
have rich soil to develop its heavy set of fruit to large size. Vines 
are medium dense, erect, and SELF-TOPPING. The main shoot, 
after forming two or three flower clusters, usually terminates in 
a flower cluster, checking vegetative growth much the same as 
cutting out the top, hence the name. Self-topping ability, earliness, 
prodigious yield, color and quality, all combined in one, make this 
one of the finest of all tomato introductions. Not disease-resistant 
however. 122 days. I 163—Pkg., 20c; y 2 ox., 30c; oz* 50c; 2 ox., 80c; 
% lb., $1.45; y £ lb., $2.75; lb., $5.00, postpaid.

bearing good sized fruit, uniform

eter). with solid, thick flesh. Good

SALZER’S DWARF 
CHAMPION 
Quite distinct from the other va¬ 
rieties in habit of growth and 
foliage. Good sort for the home 
garden as the plants, owing to the 
peculiar upright growth, take up 
but little room and yield abun¬ 
dantly. The plants stand up al¬ 
most like small trees. Ripens 
early; of medium, uniform size; 
deep glossy red with purplish 
tinge; round, smooth, free from 
cracks. A very desirable sort.
