If anybody anywhere in the United States can show me a better strain of the purest type of early Pritchard or 
Scarlet Topper, than this one of ours, I surely would like to see it. I believe we have the grandest stock of Pritchard, 
the best strain in America. I would like your opinion. Try it if you want the finest crop of Pritchard you ever grew, 
and I believe you will agree with me.

SCHELL’S STRAIN JOHN BAER TOMATO is a most 
valuable variety because of its extreme earliness, good size,

stock that we have distinguished it by calling it Our Own 
Perfected Strain of John Baer. By intensive selection we have 
mastered and improved those vital points of any crop which 
result in increased profits to the gardener who wisely leads 
with the first John Baer Tomatoes in market and has a real
