heavy production and vigorous growth. Being non-cracking and bright 
pink in color; showing no signs of the yellow cast; foliage is heavy; 
four days earlier; bearing more fruit; definitely set in type. Quality

PRITCHARD. (Scarlet Topper). This wonderful tomato was intro¬ 
duced by the late Dr. Fred Pritchard of the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture. Pritchard, globe-shaped, smooth and solid, was 
found to be just a few days later than Earliana and about on par 
with Break o’ Day. Our seed was grown from the original stock seed 
furnished by the late Dr. Pritchard. No grower should pass up the 
opportunity to give this Tomato a trial. (State Certified). Pkt., 10c; 
*4 oz., 20c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; *4 lb., $1.50; lb., $4.50. 
BREAK O’ DAY. To the late Dr. Fred Pritchard of the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture we are indebted for the breeding of this Tomato, 
and from whom our original seed stock was obtained. The fruit is 
extremely early, smooth, true globe-shaped, red, solid with few seeds. 
The vines are sturdy and wilt resistant and bear heavily. Pkt., 10c;

PENN STATE. (Award of Merit, All-America Selection.) Has a very 
compact growth which makes close planting possible. The foliage 
is rather coarse, medium dark green, and covers the fruit well. The 
fruit is evenly colored rich scarlet and is unusually free from 
blemishes. It matures almost as early as the Earliana, and in yield 
has produced more than twenty tons to the acre on College farms.

IMPROVED MARGLOBE. This highly developed strain of Marglobe 
is justly acclaimed by leading planters as the MOST OUTSTANDING 
TOMATO EVER DEVELOPED. It is bred especially for critical 
planters who realize the value of quality and purity in tomato seed, 
and is noted for its extreme solidity, deep globe type and productivity 
as well as its disease resistance—being exceptionally vigorous and 
healthy. Ripens a beautiful scarlet-red, well up to the stem— profit¬ 
able for gardeners and shippers. Pkt., 10c; y z oz., 30c; oz., 50c; *4 !*>■>

MARHIO. A new pink Tomato developed by Dr. Ira C. Hoffman of the 
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Leading greenhouse Tomatoes.

resistant to Fusarium wilt. Fruits are pink, large, smooth, round and 
deep. They are very heavy, having thick meaty rind and cross walls; 
almost no fibrous core, relatively few seeds. Clusters of 5 to 7 buds, 
average weight per fruit 5 to 7 ounces. It has given good satisfaction 
in the field when staked. It did exceptionally well in tropical sections 
where other varieties failed. Our seed is grown from seed furnished 
by Dr. Hoffman. Pkt., 10c; y z oz., 30c; oz., 50c; V4 lb., $1.60; lb., $5.00.

Dr. C. E. Myers at the Pennsylvania State college. It has been selected 
for extra-early maturity, large size of the red fruits, even shape,

supersede the other Earliana strains. Our seed has been produced
