All Fruit for No. 3 Seed Is Hand Cut for Inspection 
ADIRONDACK EARLIANA 
Particular care is given the selection of this No. 3 Earliana. 
Earliness is of prime importance. Productiveness and vigor are essen¬ 
tial. The quality of the fruit must have rigid inspection. After the 
selection of plant and fruit by outward appearance each fruit is cut 
individually, by hand, for inspection of the interior construction. A 
good market tomato will have few seeds and small cells, thick walls, 
no green or pithy core, will be well colored. Only those fruits show¬ 
ing a high standard of perfection in this, as well as in plant type, are 
used in the selection of this No. 3 Earliana. 
The location at which this seed is grown is worthy of considera¬ 
tion. We are north of the Adirondacks, four miles from the Cana¬ 
dian Line, with a growing season of only about three months and a 
half free from frost, with generally cool days and many cold nights. 
This has without doubt been a factor in the improvement of these 
strains.
