JUDY'S PINK. It has all the merits that could be claimed for the 
regular Break O’’ Day with such additional qualities as extremely 
heavy production and vigorous growth. Being non-cracking and bright 
pink in color; showing no signs of the yellow cast; foliage is heavy; 
four days earlier; bearing more fruit; definitely set in type. Quality 
exceptionally fine, being non-acid and of exceptional taste. We 
recommend it for stakes and suggest it be planted on light soil. Do 
not fail to give this variety a trial. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 60c; oz., $1.00; 
y 4 lb., $3.00; lb., $10.00. 
PRITCHARD. (Scarlet Topper). This wonderful tomato was intro¬ 
duced by the late Dr. Fred Pritchard of the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture. Pritchard, globe-shaped, smooth and solid, was 
found to be just a few days later than Earliana and about on par 
with Break o’ Day. Our seed was grown from the original stock see<t 
furnished by the late Dr. Pritchard. No grower should pass up the 
opportunity to give this Tomato a trial. (State Certified). Pkt., 10c; 
V4 oz., 20c; y z oz., 30c; oz., 50c; V4 lb., $1.50; lb., $4.50. 
BREAK O' DAY. Plere is a Tomato which is a rare development com¬ 
bining the good qualities of the parent stocks, Marvana and Marglobe. 
To the late Dr. Fred Pritchard of the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
we are indebted for the breeding of this fine Tomato, and from whom 
our original seed stock was obtained. The fruit is extremely early, 
smooth, true globe-shaped, red, solid with few seeds. The vines are 
sturdy and wilt resistant and bear heavily. Our representative at¬ 
tending the O'hio State trials at Marietta, Ohio, found the gardeners 
most enthusiastic about Break o’ Day Tomato this year. Pkt., 10c; 
*4 oz., 20c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; *4 lb-. $1.50; lb., $4.50. 
HOLMES’ EVERBEARING. This wonderfully fine, large, early To¬ 
mato has become very popular with Tomato growers. Its fruits are 
red, nearly globular in shape, slightly flattened, very smooth, ripens 
well around the stem end, and does not crack as badly as other early 
sorts. Sets and bears in clusters, producing a very heavy crop. 
Holmes’ Everbearing is very desirable for its yield, form, solidity and 
market quality. You will not make a mistake by planting Everbear-. 
ing. Pkt., 10c; V4 oz., 20c; y 2 oz., 35c; oz., 55c; V4 lb., $1.80; lb., $3.00. 
PENN STATE. (Award of Merit, All-America Selection.) Has a very 
compact growth which makes close planting possible. The foliage 
is rather coarse, medium dark green, and covers the fruit well. The ' 
fruit is evenly colored rich scarlet and is unusually free from 
blemishes. It matures almost as early as the Earliana, and in yield 
has produced more than twenty tons to the acre on College farms. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., $1.00; oz., $1.85; 2 ozs., $3.50; 14 lb., $6.00; lb., $20.00. 
IMPROVED MARGLOBE. This highly developed strain of Marglobe 
is justly acclaimed by leading planters as the MOST OUTSTANDING 
TOMATO EVER DEVELOPED. It is bred especially for critical 
planters who realize the value of quality and purity in tomato seed, 
and is noted for its extreme solidity, deep globe type and productivity 
as well as its disease resistance—being exceptionally vigorous and 
healthy. Ripens a beautiful scarlet-red, well up to the stem— profit¬ 
able for gardeners and shippers. Fkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; V4 lb., 
$1.50; lb.. $4.50.

BONNY BEST. An excellent early sort for home and market: valu¬ 
able for forcing under glass. The fruits ripen only a week later 
than Earliana. Plants produce enormous crops of beautiful, smooth, 
scarlet-red, flattened globe-shaped fruits which are very firm. The 
seed was inspected by the Dept, of Agriculture and certificate granted 
showing purity of type and freedom from disease. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 
30c; oz., 50c; V4 lb., $1.35; lb., $4.50. 
EARLIANA. (Penn. State). This strain of Earliana was developed by 
Dr. C. E. Myers at the Pennsylvania State college. It has been selected 
for extra-early maturity, large size of the red fruits, even shape, 
smoothness and productiveness. We anticipate that Penn State will 
supersede the other Earliana strains. Our seed has been produced 
directly from the original stock. Fkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 25c; oz., 40c; V4 lb., 
$1.00; lb., $3.50.
