PROUD OF OUR 
NORTHERN GROWN 
TOMATO SEED 
• BISON, THE TOMATO FOR 
NORTHERN GARDENS 
The best early tomato yet developed 
by Professor A. F. Yeager. In place of 
vesting its vitality in continuous branch¬ 
ing, as do practically all other tomatoes, 
Bison grows a compact plant and puts 
ail its energies into producing and 
ripening a heavy and extra early 
crop of smooth, solid, meaty, med¬ 
ium sized red tomatoes. In 1930 
Professor Yeager had a plant in 
his plot that produced 40 pounds 
of ripe fruit. Do not prune Bison 
plants. We believe this is the 
best thing that Professor Y ea¬ 
ger has developed to date and 
that is saying a lot.

Claimed by some to be as early 
as the Earlibell. Our tests show 
them to mature at approximately 
the same time. Anyway, it is one of 
the earliest tomatoes and has proven one of the 
liardiest, very solid and meaty. The Canadian 
experiment station at Morden, Manitoba, proved 
it to be the heaviest, yielder out of 49 varieties. 
It is a cross between one of the older varieties 
and one of Professor Yeager's newer varieties. 
Fruit is small medium size, bright scarlet color 
tfieat, and slightly flat.

• SCARLET TOPPER OR PRITCHARD 
A medium-early, large, smooth, and extremely 
solid Tomato of an intense scarlet color. Most 
productive and very attractive. Of a solidity 
that is truly remarkable, with very small seed 
pockets and no core. Its productiveness, par¬ 
ticularly on rich soil, is amazing and individual 
plants will bear 70 to 80 fruits each. It will 
yield 15 tons and more per acre. Pkt., 6c; 
VY oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.15;

• EARLIBELL 
TOMATO SELECTION

We are still waiting for someone to prove to 
us that they have or can produce an earlier to¬ 
mato than the Earlibell. I received a letter 
from one of our Texas customers one day, or¬ 
dering six pounds of this Earlibell seed. He 
told me that he can get 25 per cent more fruit 
to the acre and ten days earlier than any other 
tomato grown in the market garden section of 
Texas. This ten days means sometimes several 
cents per pound additional for their big crop. In 
the North it means ten days more of tomato 
season, freedom from frosts, etc. It means that 
we can produce tomatoes further north and at 
higher altitudes than ever before. We grow in the 
Trial Ground, practically every variety of claimed 
early tomatoes. The method adopted is as fol¬ 
lows: 
On the first day of June we plant in the open 
ground the seed of all of the varieties and as 
they grow make records of the growth, the time 
of blooming and the first ripe tomatoes. The 
Earlibell is always just five days ahead of the 
next earliest, and running about as much as 
twenty days earlier than a number of varieties 
that are claimed to be extra early. The Earlibell 
is not only earlier, but it produces greater quan¬ 
tities of fruit with enough foliage to keep them 
free from sunburn, seldom rots, generally good- 
sized, smooth and of a bright red color that 
makes it very desirable for market as well as 
for the home table. Try it. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 
25c; 1 oz., 40c; !4 lb., 90c; 1 lb., $2.85; 5 lbs., 
$12.50 Postpaid. 
• EARLIANA 
The earliest, large, smooth red tomato. This 
tomato is not only remarkable for its earliness, 
but for its very large size, handsome shape and 
bright red color. Its solidity and fine quality are 
quite equal to the best medium, and late sorts. 
Enormously prolific. The very finest for the 
northern market and home garden. Pkt., 5c; 
'/ 2 oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c; 14 lb., 80c; 1 lb., $2.25; 
5 lbs., $9.25. Postpaid. 
© NEW STONE 
The tomato for a main crop. We call 
this the king of the Livingstone kinds, 
which are the best types of large, smooth, 
solid "beefy” tomatoes. If asked to select 
one main crop, market sort, we advise this. 
Color, fine scarlet; stem set high, core 
small and shallow, so that but little is 
lost when it is taken out of the 
fruit before slicing. If in doubt, 
buy the New Stone. Pkt., 5c; y 2 
oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c; 14 lb., 70c; 
1 lb., $1.90; 5 lbs., $7.50 Post¬ 
paid. 
• JUICY (For Tomato Juice) 
The new tomato developed espe¬ 
cially to produce a fine flavored, 
highly colored tomato juice. 
The fruits are medium to large 
in size, with thick outer and inner 
walls, and a small seed cavity. The 
flesh is firm and very bright red. 
Juicy ripens about the same time 
as Pritchard — will outyield any 
main crop tomato we have ever 
grown. A bushel basket of large, 
rich scarlet "Juicy" tomatoes will out-sell any 
other tomato on the market; and whether can¬ 
ned, ,ed for tomato juice, or as fresh sliced 
tomatoes "Juicy" will prove superior to any 
other variety. Pkt., 7c; 14 oz., 20c; 1 oz., 35c; 
14 lb., 90c; 1 lb., $2.50.

Dear Sirs: 
Am very glad to tell you I had a swell gar¬ 
den even though the weather man was 
against me, but he didn’t stop the garden 
seeds from growing. Every seed grew and 
my Earlibell tomatoes surely were very 
heavy yielders, giving, us all we could eat 
raw; canned 150 quarts and sold and sup¬ 
plied my neighbors.
