TOMATOES 
W. D. Co.’s New Early Red 
WISEMAN-DOWNS CO.’S WILTPROOF 
By the careful selection of the seed stock, as to quality, 
color, growth of vine, blight resisting qualities, etc., and 
by crossing the different varieties we have truly succeeded 
in producing a true wiltproof tomato; the vine of which is 
of remarkably strong growth, often times putting out 
second growth and covering the ground in five foot rows, 
making an excellent protection to the fruit from the hot 
sun rays. The fruit is of globular shape, but inclined to 
be deeper than any other variety. Perfectly smooth, no 
ridges and of a nice size. Very solid and meaty and com¬ 
paratively few seeds. The color is a beautiful red and of 
a very attractive appearance. Immediately productive. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c, % lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00. 
BREAK O’ DAY 
This variety was introduced by the late Dr. P. J. Prichard 
and is fast becoming one of the most popular. The fruit 
is of a beautiful red, meat very fleshy, few seeds, shaped 
very much similar to Marglobe, but earlier in some sec¬ 
tions, having reached maturity three days later than the 
Earliana. Vines of a healthy vigorous growth. Wiltproof 
and Disease-proof. Very prolific. 
The seeds we offer are of our own growing from the 
original Dr. Prichard stock. Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, Vi lb. 90c, 
lb. $3.00. 
MARGLOBE 
Let us here and now, emphasize the fact that we have 
only one variety of Marglobe Tomato and we are not going 
to attempt to substitute some other variety, or seed saved 
from some canning house in order to lower the price; so 
when you order Marglobe from us, you can rest assured 
you are getting the true strain as originally introduced by 
the late Dr. Prichard; selected with the greatest care, that 
they shall be true, pure and reliable. Fruit are well-sized, 
smooth, beautiful red color and of a very attractive appear¬ 
ance, globe shaped and almost coreless. Nationally known 
for its good canning and shipping quality. Pkt. 10c, oz. 
50c, 'A lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00. 
W.-D. CO.’S NEW EARLY RED 
We have given this variety the above name because it is 
exactly what the name implies. It is New, having just 
been recently introduced by us in 1931, with gratifying 
results. 
It is Early, as our trials have shown it to be much earlier 
than the Marglobe and ripened very soon after the Earli¬ 
ana. 
It is Red. It is a brilliantly colored tomato, with the 
color evenly distributed to the stem end and through the 
flesh. Its beautiful red color has attracted attention and 
quite an interest by tomato dealers, growers, canners and 
others. It is of the round type, which the canners desire. 
The plants are vigorous in growth, wilt resistant and al¬ 
though the foliage is sufficient to give the tomato protec¬ 
tion it is not dense enough to interfere with proper color¬ 
ing. During recent years the canning houses have been 
encouraging the growing of an early round red tomato and 
this one has certainly met the requirements, as to earli¬ 
ness, color, shape and productivity, and produces a very 
low percentage of culls. Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c, V\ lb. $1.50, lb. 
$5.00.
