Salzer’s Earliest of All Tomato 
Although introduced by us many years ago, Salzer’s Earliest of All is still the leading extra 
early tomato, the earliest large-sized variety grown, and we believe, as we are constantly improv¬ 
ing it, it will hold its position and will stay on top as the Earliest of All. 
With us in the North it has always been a study to produce extremely early vegetables, such as will ripen 
and produce perfect fruit in a short time, and in Earliest of All our efforts have been successful. Everybody 
who has tried it, speaks of it in highest praise. Earliness in tomatoes is essential for the market grower 
and highly desirable for the home garden. Salzer’s Earliest of All is the best extra-early so far produced; 
it is our very earliest strain; it is a “short season” tomato. Ripening as it does in about 108 days, in the North, it id 
especially well adapted to all sections of the country, which makes it so decidedly popular. Finely bred for uniformity 
in size, attractiveness, extra earliness, and trueness to type, Salzer Quality is nowhere better evidenced than in this 
fine, highly praised variety. If you want the very earliest tomatoes, combined with fine flavor, meatiness, productive¬ 
ness, attractiveness, and tenderness, you should plant our Earliest of All. It is bound to please the most particular. 
The fruits are of good size, brilliant scarlet color, nearly round, entirely smooth, and remarkably handsome. The 
flesh is solid, and of the finest flavor. The fruits are borne continuously in large numbers until killed by frost. They 
have a tough skin, firm flesh, making them good shippers and keepers. Mr. W. T. Allgire, Vici, Okla., writes, “I had 
great .success with Salzer’s Earliest Of AH Tomatoes, even though we had a heavy hail.” Mrs. Ernest J. Smrz, Junction 
City, Wis., writes, “Have raised your Earliest Of All Tomatoes for 14 years. They start to bear earlier than any other 
and bear until frost.” Mr. Henry Ringerwold, Hudsonville, Mich., writes, “I want some of your Earliest Of All Tomato 
seed. Saw them at my neighbor’s and they look good to me.”

1 have never grown so many and such nice tomatoes as I did this year from Salzer’s Earliest Of All. Because of late 
springs and early fall frosts I could never get ripe tomatoes until this year.—Mr. Theo. Swiontek, Bancroft, Wis.
