TOMATOES 
W. D. Co.’s New Early Red 
WISEMAN-DOWNS CO.’S WILTPROOF 
By the careful selection of the seed stock, as to quality, 
color, growth of vine, blight resisting qualities, etc., and 
by crossing the different varieties we have truly succeeded 
in producing a tomato; the vine of which is of remarkably 
strong growth, often times putting out second growth and 
covering the ground in five foot rows, making an excellent 
protection to the fruit from the hot sun rays. The fruit 
is of globular shape, but inclined to be deeper than any 
other variety. Perfectly smooth, no ridges and of a nice 
size. Very solid and meaty and comparatively few seeds. 
The color is a beautiful red and of a very attractive 
appearance. Immensely productive. Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c, X A 
lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00. 
BREAK O’ DAY 
This variety was introduced by Dr. F. J. Prichard of the 
Department of Agriculture and is fast becoming one of the 
most popular. The fruit is of a beautiful red; meat very 
fleshy, few seeds, shaped very much similar to Marglobe, 
but earlier in some sections, having reached maturity three 
days later than the Earliana. Vines of a healthy vigorous 
growth. Wilt-proof and Disease-proof. Very prolific. 
The seeds we offer are of our own growing from the 
original Dr. Prichard stock. Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, y 4 lb. 90c, 
lb. $3.00. 
MARGLOBE 
Let us here and now, emphasize the fact that we have I 
only one variety of Marglobe Tomato and we are not going 
to attempt to substitute some other variety, or seed saved 
from some canning house in order to lower the price; so 
when you order Marglobe from us, you can rest assured 
you are getting the true strain as originally introduced by 
the late Dr. Prichard; selected with the greatest care, that 
they shall be true, pure and reliable. Fruit are well-sized, 
smooth, beautiful red color and of a very attractive appear¬ 
ance, globe shaped and almost coreless. Nationally known 
for its good canning and shipping quality. Pkt. 10c, oz. 
50c, y 4 lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00. 
W.-D. CO.’S NEW EARLY RED 
We have given this variety the above name because it is 
exactly what the name implies. It is New, having just 
been recently introduced by us in 1931, with gratifying 
results. 
It is Early, as our trials have shown it to be much earlier 
than the Marglobe and ripened very soon after the Earli¬ 
ana. 
It is Red. It is a brilliantly colored tomato, with the 
color evenly distributed to the stem end and through the 
flesh. Its beautiful red color has attracted attention and 
quite an interest by tomato dealers, growers, canners and 
others. It is of the round type, which the canners desire. 
The plants are vigorous in growth, wilt resistant and al¬ 
though the foliage is sufficient to give the tomato protec¬ 
tion it is not dense enough to interfere with proper color¬ 
ing. During recent years the canning houses have been 
encouraging the growing of an early round red tomato and 
this one has certainly met the requirements, as to earli¬ 
ness, color, shape and productivity, and produces a very 
low percentage of culls. Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c, y 4 lb. $1.50, lb. 
$5.00.
