F. S. & N. Co. 
Really, 1 never had so many tomatoes as I did last 
year, when 1 planted your Scarlet Topper. We fed 
bushels and bushels to our pigs. I believe some vines 
had a bushel of ripe tomatoes. These tomatoes never 
had a crack or crease on them. They sure yield a 
perfect fruit. Your White Gold Potatoes are wonder¬ 
ful. We ordered 2 bushels and planted all. We ate 
new potatoes from July 1 to Aug. 5th and still dug 
about 15 bushels. As a family of 8 we use lots of 
potatoes. They stood the drought fine.
