JOHNSON^S JACK ROSE TOMATO 
See Colored Illustration on Back of This Book 
Since the discover)' of Sparks’ Earliana Tomato by the writer in 1S99, and its introduction in 1900, 
we have been looking for a tomato of equal quality that would eclipse it in earliuess. From critical tests 
the past season we believe in the Johnson’s Jack Rose we have a now and distinct variety, fully 10 
days earlier than the original Earliana. It also has the advantage of being more erect in growth, hav¬ 
ing a larger, stronger and more vigorous stock to support its load of fruit. The later fruit on the vines 
is just as la^e and perfect as the first. The fruit and foliage are quite distinct in color from either the 
Sparks’ Earliana or June Pink. If you want an abundant supply of fine, solid, rich-colored, meaty 
tomatoes that will be large and good until frost comes, try the Jack Rose. Sujjply of seed so limiteil 
this season we can offer in packets only at 25 cents each, or 6 packets for $1.00. 
JOHNSON’S IMPROVED 
STRAIN NO. 10 SPARKS’ 
EARLIANA TOMATO 
Sparks’ Earliana Tomato, in¬ 
troduced in 1900, has proved 
one of the most successful vege¬ 
table novelties ever introduced, 
and is now largely planted in 
all sections of the United States. 
This new strain, offered last 
season for the first, which we 
have named Johnson’s No. 10, 
is fully one week earlier than 
the original type, more vigorous 
in growth. 
Sparks’ Earliana Tomato was 
first discovered and named in 
1899, by the writer of this 
cataiogue, Herbert W. John- 
son, who has since given his 
personal attention to its selec¬ 
tion, growth and improvement. 
If vou want the best seed obtain¬ 
able of this now famous variety, order Johnson’s No. 10 strain from Johnson Seed Company.

CHAP.LE.S II. Gardinee, Huntington, N. Y., Sept. 16, 1906, 
writes: ‘‘I planted teed of your new No. 10 Strain just one 
month later than the old Earliana; they ripened at the same 
time. They are the finest I ever saw." 
Harkiso.v Perry, Dividing Creek, N. J., Oct. 12, 1906, 
writes: " Your new Strain No. 10 Is superior to the old Ear¬ 
liana, the fruit is earlier, firmer and vines keep green 
longer.” 
J.R. Jarvis, Cobden, Ill., writes: "Your No. 10 Strain 
Earliana Tomato will prove the most profltahle to market 
gardeners. I planted them In the open ground April 10th, 
and picked the first ripe tomatoes July 1st. Tomatoes large, 
sound and solid, the finest on the market.” 
A. T. Davis, Yardvllle, N. J., writes: " I planted yonr 
Improved No. 10 Strain side by side with the Earliana and 
■they ripened two weeks sooner. Their foliage protects them 
:from the hot sun. They have no equal.” 
P. M. Pettit, Piney Point, Md., Oct. 17, 1906, writes’: 
" Too much cannot be said in favor of your new f,'o. 10 Stmln 
of Earliana. Sown llaroh Ist, were ripe July Ist. The 
first oue picked weighed ozs. and was 12 inches In 
circumference.”

tario, Canada, writes: “We find the new Earliana No. 10 
the earliest and most profitable variety, having cleaned up 
over?I,200ontwoacreslaEt season.' ’ 
Sarah C. Gcmbert, Aughwlck Mills, Pa., writes : "Your 
new No. 10 Strain brought me ripe tomatoes ten days earlier 
than the old Earliana. The new tomato Is the very finest, 
very productive, and nearly seedless.” 
E. A, Bhadle, Lcwlstown, Pa., writes: “Yonr new No. 
10 Strain of Earliana arc not only the earliest of all, but they 
keep and retain their flavor longer than any other kind after 
being taken from the vine.”
