Our seed plot of Grothen’s Globe shows how very heavy the foliage grows. We do not have the tomato diseases 
that seedsmen are troubled with farther south.

>kGROTHEN’S GLOBE: 70 days. A selection from 
Break O'Day that shows better color and has a heav¬ 
ier vine growth. Fruits are medium large, red, globe- 
shaped, and smooth. An improved Break O'Day. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts. ; 54 lb. $1.35; lb. $4.50. 
*EARLIANA: 66 days. A very early variety for the 
home and market garden. This variety has been 
improved a great deal in the past few years so that 
the fruits are much smoother than they originally 
were. The vine is only medium size and the yield is 
not as large as is obtained with later varieties. Fruits 
flattened, medium sized, firm, bright red. Pkt. 10 
cts.; 45 cts.; 54 lb. $1.25; lb. $4.00. See back 
cover. 
^PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER, Also called 
Pritchard. 75 days. Pritchard is a heavy yielding 
mid-season variety. The flesh is very solid, brilliant 
red and good quality. The globular fruits color 
evenly over the whole surface clear up to the stem. 
From some localities we have heard the criticism that 
too large a percentage of small tomatoes is produced. 
Pritchard sets a large number of fruits and we feel it 
needs a strong soil with plenty of fertility if it is to 
give satisfactory results. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 
X lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50. 
NYSTATE: A new second-early variety developed at 
the Geneva Experiment Station. The fruit is large, 
deep, smooth, with uniform red color. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 75 cts.; 54 lb. $2.20; 1 lb. $7.60. 
RUTGERS: A new late variety from the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. The fruit is large, deep, and 
very smooth. The color and flavor are excellent. 
This variety did very well in our trial grounds but is 
rather late for New York State. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
50 cts.; Jj lb. $1.75; lb. $6.00. 
jfcKING HUMBERT: The small plum-shaped Italian 
tomato used extensively for tomato paste and can¬ 
ning whole. Our strain of King Humbert is larger 
and more uniform than the old plum tomato, very 
mildly acid, firm and sweet. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 75 
cts.; J4 lb. $2.50; lb. $8.00. 
* CERTIFIED JOHN BAER: 70 days. The best 
main crop tomato in most sections. This strain was 
developed at the Geneva Experiment Station and has 
proven to be better than the old strains. Fruits me¬ 
dium sized, semi-globular, very attractive bright 
scarlet-red, smooth and quite firm. Colors well 
around stem. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; 54 lb. 
$1.25; lb. $4.35. 
*MARGLOBE: 79 days. A medium late wilt resist¬ 
ant variety that has become very popular. It is a 
heavy grower and quite productive. The fruits are 
medium to large, nearly globular, smooth and very 
solid. Very fine quality. This variety is also used 
extensively for green tomatoes. We have been grow¬ 
ing Marglobe for several years and have a very fine 
strain. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 54 lb. $1.35; lb. 
$4.50. 
*OXHEART : 90 days. A distinct, attractive variety 
recently introduced and becoming very popular as a 
novelty. Fruits extremely large, somewhat rough, 
heart shaped, pink; very solid meat and of very mild 
flavor. Moderately productive but rather late for 
our climate. Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 75 cts. ; 54 lb. $2.50; 
lb. $8.00. 
Rutgers is one of the largest and best quality 
tomatoes but rather late for some sections of New 
York State 
Henry Gregor writes that tomatoes from our John Baer seed won second prize at the Wisconsin State Fair.
