T HIS most valuable early variety confirms, by repeated tests, all the praise that has been lavished upon it. Gardeners 
near Rochester, who supply the large wholesale markets, are enthusiastic admirers, and grow it in preference to any 
other early tomato. The letters published herewith are from local gardeners, from Michigan, and the far west. Hundreds 
of others could be shown, and the universal verdict would be “ the best I ever raised.” Don’t fail to include this variety 
when making up your seed order, and remember Vick’s Strain of the Earliana comes from James Vick’s Sons only. 
As a crop, Vick’s Strain of Earliana Tomato 
ripens a week ahead of any other variety 
coming into market when other sorts are ripen¬ 
ing a few scattered fruits. This fact makes the 
Earliana the most profitable variety ever intro¬ 
duced. The fruit is remarkable for its large size, 
perfect form, bright red color, and its delicious 
flavor which is “just: right ” for the palate of an 
epicure. 
The Fruit does not crack; is solid and meaty, 
with few seeds, and is unequalled in quality by 
any other variety. 
The Plant is of medium size, strong and vigor¬ 
ous, setting the fruits freely close to the center stems. 
The plants should be set about three by four feet.

The demand for Vick’s Improved Strain of the 
Earliana is increasing annually. The seed is 
grown on our own farm, saved from selected 
fruits, and by our methods of skillful selection the 
present strain is a vast improvement over the 
original—which at one time seemed beyond criti¬ 
cism. The illustration shows fruits of this perfect 
strain as they were taken from the fields. On the 
third page of this Guide is a picture of Vick’s 
vegetable exhibit at the New York State Fair, 
held in Syracuse, September 13 to 18, 1909. The 
top of the pyramid in the lower section is the 
Earliana tomato, the crowning feature of an allur¬ 
ing display of vegetables grown from Vick’s Seeds 
by Monroe County gardeners.
