PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER. A ' so «"'?* 
-- chard. We think 
this is one of the finest tomatoes ever grown. The vines are vigorous 
and very high yielding while the fruits are medium to large round, thick 
of flesh, firm and with hut small seed cavities. The color is a brilliant 
red throughout and they color right up to the top without any hard 
green spots and seem to be resistant to “cracking.” 
This is a tomato of exceptionally fine quality being mild and free 
from acidity. It is one of the best kinds for home canning we know. 
In season the fruit ripens only a few days later than the early kinds such 
as Bonny Best and John Baer. 
Home gardeners should not be without this valuable kind in their 
garden. Market gardeners and growers for roadside stands where 
quality counts will find this a profitable variety to raise.

HARRIS’ SUCCESS. This old favorite is still popular with many 
people. Although hut a little later than Bonny Best and John Baer, the 
fruit is larger and more like Stone. It is of the finest quality for cooking 
or canning, being much sweeter and more free from acidity than most 
other kinds. The vines are very vigorous and produce enormous crops 
of very large, handsome fruit. This is a most satisfactory variety to 
have in the home garden.

MARGLOBE. !«'«* Resistant. Main Crop. This tomato 
-1 has established itself as an extra fine commercial 
variety in many sections. 
The tomatoes are large, globe shaped, smooth, color perfectly up to 
the stem and are of a deep red color all through. The vines are 
vigorous and resist blight well even in very wet weather. The fruit 
ripens medium late coming on just after John Baer and Bonny Best. 
It is so large, smooth and handsome that it is excellent for market, 
canning or any other purpose. 
Our original stock seed was sent to us by the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture at Washington. We have grown and improved 
this variety on our farm for a number of years, until now we have a 
stock that is unsurpassed.

BONNY BEST. Harris’ Special Strain. This magnificent early 
variety should he largely planted for home use and market. The fruit 
ripens only a week later than Earliana and the plants produce enormous 
crops of beautiful, smooth, high colored fruit, practically all of which 
ripen before the vines are killed by frost. 
The tomatoes are of good size, only slightly smaller than Improved 
John Baer, smooth as an apple and a deep scarlet color which extends 
right up to the stem without any green tinge. There is no finer strain of 
Bonny Best than the seed we offer, no matter what price is charged.

Dwarf Stone—Fine for Home Gardens. These plants grow dwarf and 
stocky, like those of Dwarf Champion, and can be set out close to¬ 
gether. The fruit is like Stone, medium size, solid and deep red, and of 
fine quality. Bipens a little later than Early Stone, but has the ability 
to produce fine solid fruit late in the season when most tomatoes are 
not so solid and firm.

ITALIAN RED PEAR (Pomo d’oro a Pero). This tomato is most 
prized by the Italian people for making their famous “tomato paste.” 
It is also used extensively for canning. These tomatoes canned whole 
with a few leaves of basil make a delightful change from ordinary 
canned tomatoes. 
The fruit is very solid with thick walls, and deep red in color through¬ 
out. It is true pear shape but three or four times as large as the ordi¬ 
nary red pear tomatoes. It is borne in clusters of 4 to 7 fruits on 
strong vines.
