TOMATO—Continued 
★ BONNY BEST (CERTIFIED)—100 Days 
This is an old favorite early tomato maturing after Earliana. The fruits are globular when small, 
becoming slightly flattened when they attain large size. Our strain has been selected for heavy yield, and 
where Bonny Best, John Baer, or Chalks Jewel is used for market or canning, we highly recommend our 
Certified Bonny Best as meeting the requirements of this group.

★ BREAK O’DAY (CERTIFIED) — 95 Days 
This is a new tomato which has become a popular early red variety, grown in some western states with 
great success. Dr. F. J. Pritchard, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, originated this variety by 
crossing Marvana with the Marglobe. 
The vines are very open growing and somewhat resemble Earliana in appearance. The leaves are small 
and rather short for such a prolific plant. It is quite resistant to disease. The fruits are medium to large in 
size and quite closely resemble the Marglobe as to shape. Under good cultural and climatic conditions where 
a heavier vine growth and a somewhat lower summer temperature prevails, th'e Break O’Day will produce 
satisfactory external and internal color. This variety is not recommended for light nor sandy soils. It is 
only a few days later than our Earliana.

★ BROWN’S SPECIAL (CERTIFIED)—120 Days 
A new, late variety of considerable merit for canning, especially suited to the South. The stems of the 
plants are long, and the leaflets are large and dark green in color. The plant produces the largest amount of 
foliage of any tomato that we know of, and therefore is well suited to lighter soil types. Heavy applications 
of nitrogenous fertilizers should not be made to this variety. 
The fruits resemble Stone and Greater Baltimore in type, being somewhat flattened, but are much 
larger, averaging 6 to 8 ounces per fruit. The external and internal color is a dark red, and the interior 
structure is very solid with very small seed cavities. A distinguishing character of Brown’s Special is the 
light green color of the fruits just before they ripen. 
Brown’s Special yieldte over 10 tons per acre whpre such a late maturing variety can be grown to ad¬ 
vantage. The crop is produced later than Stone or any of that group. This is a fine juice and canning 
tomato, on account of its color and productiveness.

DELAWARE BEAUTY —105 Days 
The Delaware Beauty was introduced by Landreth in the Autumn of 1912. A showy medium-sized, 
red sort. Vine compact, deep green, blight-resistant, thick stemmed, extraordinarily productive. The 
fruit is almost entirely free from splits, which is a most distinguishing quality. It is very uniform in size 
and showy, with a habit of simultaneously coloring up all over the fruit. Shape slightly flattish at blossom 
end, quite globular at stem or crown.
