Tomatoes Produce Enormous Crops if Good Seeds are Planted 
Marglobe. A disease resistant type, developed by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. Fruits are iarge, 
smooth, globular, meaty and almost coreless. Plants 
very productive, medium large and erect, shading 
the fruit well to prevent sun scald. A good sort for 
market gardeners and canners as it is second early 
in maturing. 
Pritchard (or Scarlet Topper). 95 days. A scarlet self' 
topping or self'pruning tomato developed by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. A cross between 
Marglobe (U. S. Department of Agriculture) and 
Cooper’s Special. The dwarf sturdy plants are com¬ 
paratively wilt-resistant. Fruits are smooth, globular, 
and extremely solid, making it a good shipper. Other 
outstanding features are its deep red interior as well 
as exterior color and heavy yielding ability. 
Earliana. A very early and productive sort, with deep 
red fruits crowded in clusters all over the plant. The 
fruits are very uniform in size, averaging 3 inches in 
diameter and 2 to 2/i inches deep. The flesh is 
solid, with few seeds. 
Dwarf Champion. A compact, upright grower that 
bears a profusion of medium-sized, purplish pink, 
smooth, symmetrical fruits. 
Dwarf Stone. Fine for the home garden because of its 
dwarf, compact habit. The fruits are freely borne in 
clusters of three to five, and average 4 inches in 
diameter and l/i inches in depth. They are bright 
red in color, smooth, and solid. 
Ponderosa (Beefsteak). The largest Tomato yet intro¬ 
duced, frequently weighing a pound or more. The 
fruit is deep purple in color, slightly reddish, with 
very solid, luscious flesh and small seed cells. Fine 
for the family garden and for the market. A fine 
slicing Tomato, being very fleshy. 
Stone. One of the best main crop, red Tomatoes. The 
fruit is large, smooth, bright scarlet, of fine quality, 
having little core. A heavy yielder of uniformly large 
fruits, and has proved to be a tremendous money 
maker everywhere. Fine for canning or the home 
garden, and long considered the standard main crop 
Tomato for all purposes.

One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants. 
All Tomato seed is flat, yellow, fuzzy, semi-solid and 
about one-sixteenth inch in diameter. For a small gar¬ 
den, sow a few seeds in a shallow box or flower pot the 
beginning of March, and place in a sunny window. 
About May 15th, set plants in the garden, 3 feet apart 
each way, watering freely at time of transplanting. If a 
large area is to be planted, sow seed in the hotbed in 
rows 5 inches apart and one-half inch deep. When 
2 inches high, transplant, 4 inches apart, to another 
hotbed, or in 4-inch pots, one plant to a pot, again 
transplanting to the open the middle of March. 
Chalk's Early Jewel. Matures a week later than Earliana. 
The fruits are very uniform in size, of brightest red, 
and very solid. It produces its large fruits continu¬ 
ously through the season, and for quality and quantity 
easily takes first place among the extra early varieties. 
Bonny Best. A vigorous growing sort of spreading, 
upright habit, and having large, smooth, deep green 
foliage. The fruits are of good size, weighing 5 to 6 
ounces each, and are borne in clusters of three to 
five. In shape they are rather flattened, but smooth 
and do not crack. The skin is a solid red right up 
to the stem; and the flesh is dark red, of fine texture 
and flavor, and slightly sub-acid. 
Matchless. One of the heaviest yielders and a fine main 
or general crop sort. The beautiful, cardinal-red 
fruits are very large, solid, and meaty, with few 
seeds. It is particularly recommended for short mar¬ 
ket shipments, as it is not quite so solid as the Stone. 
It also has the added merit of retaining the size of 
is fruits late in the season. 
John Baer. The introducer claims that this is one of 
the very earliest Tomatoes originated up to date. In 
addition to its earliness, it has the added merit of 
being an enormous yielder, producing 50 to 100 
fruits to a plant. Strong plants, grown in paper pots 
and transplanted without disturbing the roots, will 
produce ripe Tomatoes in 30 days. The fruits are 
perfect in shape, solid, high crowned, and of a beau¬ 
tiful brilliant red.
