TOMATOES—Continued 
Harris’ EARLY STONE. A Tomato of Superior Quality. 
The Stone has been considered for many years one of the 
very best tomatoes on account of its firmness and lack of 
acidity. For canning it is important to get a variety that is 
not acid and for this reason the Stone is especially valuable 
for this purpose. 
By raising the seed in this northern latitude and making 
selections with special reference to earliness we have ob¬ 
tained a strain of Stone that not only has retained the fine 
qualities of flavor and color of the old Stone but is almost as 
early as John Baer. 
The vines are sturdy and prolific, bearing an abundance 
of fine fruit. The fruit is smooth, deep red throughout, very 
solid and firm and very sweet. 
We are glad to recommend this variety for the home gar¬ 
den and roadside markets where “ Quality counts.”

Tomatoes 
ITALIAN RED PEAR (Pomo d’oro a Pero). This is the tomato 
most prized by the Italian people for making their famous “tomato 
paste.” It is also used extensively for canning. 
The fruit is very solid with thick walls, and deep red in color through¬ 
out. It is true pear shape but three or four times as large as the ordinary 
red pear tomatoes. It is borne in clusters of 4 to 7 fruits on strong vines.

“ Your Italian Bed Pear tomato which was new to me last year was per¬ 
fectly splendid. Will plant no other kind. My seeds from you this spring 
came up beautifully. Mrs. Joseph B. Bradley, Fairfield, Conn. May 2, 1935. 
Dwarf Stone—Fine for Home Gardens. These plants grow dwarf and 
stocky, like those of Dwarf Champion, and can be set out close together. 
The fruit is like Stone, medium size, solid and deep red, and of fine 
quality. Bipens a little later than Early Stone, but has the ability to 
produce fine solid fruit late in the season when most tomatoes are not so 
solid and firm.
