EARLIANA (Rice’s Selection) (60 days) — Earliest and best of the very 
early tomatoes. Very productive for an early sort. Fruit of fair size, round, 
very smooth and solid, and produced in clusters in center of the plant; 
color bright scarlet. Plants have a distinct open habit of growth. Our many 
years of selection on this stock has made it unequaled today. ( See above.)

tomato, much in favor with Southern truckers. Fruit globe shaped, smooth 
and solid; color purplish-pink.
