Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper 
Also Called “Pritchard” 
We think this is one of the best tomatoes 
ever introduced. It has become a very popular 
and profitable market variety on account of its 
beautiful appearance, fine quality and heavy 
yield. Our stock seed has been selected from the 
original seed sent us a number of years ago by 
the United States Department of Agriculture and 
we are growing the seed here in the North making 
carefully checked selections in order to maintain 
the size, vigor and earliness of this variety. 
The fruit is deep globe in shape and medium 
early, ripening right after Bonny Best. The 
flesh is very solid with few seed cavities, and is 
quite free from cracking. The brilliant red color 
goes right up to the stem. The quality is extra 
fine, being mild and without acidity. 
The plants are robust but not of rank growth 
and bear heavily. 
Certified seed of our own growing. See prices

New Rutgers Tomato 
An Extra Large and Solid Main Crop Sort 
This new tomato was originated by Dr. Schermerhorn of the New Jersey Agriculture Experi¬ 
ment Station at Rutgers. From our observation of the crops which we have grown and the trials 
we have seen, we are sure that this variety has a definite place in the list of finer tomatoes. 
The outstanding features of the Rutgers tomato are the large size and solid structure of the 
fruit, deep globe shape, fine flavor and deep red color all over, together with a heavy set of fruit 
which makes for high yield. It is not an early variety—but ripens about the same time as Mar- 
globe. In a normal season Rutgers will produce an abundance of ripe fruit before the vines are 
killed by frost. The vines are strong and sturdy, with plenty of leaves to prevent the fruit being 
scalded by the sun. We offer Certified Seed of our own growing. See prices on next page. 
Earliana —Harris’ Extra Early Northern Grown Strain 
We are sure that all our customers who have raised our special strain of Earliana tomato will 
agree with us that it is the smoothest and best colored stock of Earliana obtainable. There are other 
tomatoes offered under various names which are said to be earlier than Earliana, but we have 
found none to be any earlier and most of them are irregular in shape and not so well colored.

Marglobe Tomato —Blight Resistant 
We have grown this variety on our own farm since it was first released by the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture and have made careful selections each year until now we have a strain which 
is unsurpassed in yield, uniformity of color and size of fruit. 
The fruit is large, globe shaped, perfectly smooth, deep red, very solid and firm. The vines 
are vigorous and healthy and do not blight. Because of this fact the vines remain green until 
frost, so the late fruit is as good as the first to ripen.

Harris’ Early STONE Tomato 
Produces large deep red fruit 
Those who saw our seed crop this year were astonished at the enormous amount of fruit on 
the vines. By raising the seed many years in this northern latitude and making selections for 
earliness, we have obtained a strain that ripens almost as early as Bonny Best and John Baer and 
at the same time has retained all the good qualities of the old Stone. 
The fruit is smooth, deep red throughout, solid, firm and very sweet. The yield is high and 
market gardeners with a discriminating trade will find this a very profitable tomato to raise.
