BISON. Tlu* Tomato for Northern Gardens. T he k es t ear j_ 
tomato yet developed by Professor A. F. Yeager, this sort is 
self-pruning or determinate in growth. In place of wasting 
its vitality in continuous branching, as do practically all 
other Tomatoes, Bison grows a compact plant and puts all its 
energies into producing and ripening a heavy and ext ha early 
crop of smooth, solid, meaty, medium sized red Tomatoes. 
Yields up to 4 2 pounds for one plant have been reported. Do 
not prune Bison plants. We believe this is the best thing 
that Professor Yeager has developed to date and that is 
saying a lot. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz M 50c; lb., ,$1.50; 
1 lb., $5.50, postpaid. 
Rev. W. Shoup writes from Cross Lake, Manitoba, Canada, 400 
miles north of the International Boundary Line: “Allow me to 
state that I have experimented quite widely in tomatoes in 
this extreme north. The Bison leads by all odds.” 
JOHN BAER, slightly earlier than Bonny Best, this sort is a 
heavy yielder of smooth, firm, medium large sized scarlet 
fruits. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; lb., $1.10, postpaid. 
PONDEROSA. a very large, solid meated, purplish-red tomato. 
It is a little late for the ordinary northern garden, but we 
list the earliest northern grown strain in response to a de¬ 
mand from southern 
customers and some 
northern gardeners 
who wish to grow the 
largest tomatoes.

FARGO YELLOW 
PEAR, in this new 
sort Professor A. F. 
Yeager of the North 
Dakota Agricultural 
College has com¬ 
bined the earliness 
and self pruning 
habit of his Bison 
Tomato with typical 
Yellow Pear Fruit. 
Its extreme earliness 
and heavy yields are 
worth while. Pkt., 
15c. 
Bison Tomato 
(Typical Unpruned Plant) 
EARLIANA. Selected Early Strain. 
One of the earliest and best of 
the early varieties. It is very 
productive for an early sort. 
The fruit is fair sized, round, 
very smooth and solid and pro¬ 
duced in clusters in the center of 
the plant. The color is a bright 
scarlet. You simply cannot beat 
our strain of this grand old sort. 
Pkt., 5c; y 2 oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 
lb., $1.10, postpaid. 
We surely think your Bison 
Tomato Seeds are grand. Last 
year we had canned 50 quarts 
tomatoes before any of the 
neighbors had ripe ones.

Selected Earliana 
After seeing the best crop of tomatoes raised in 
Oreat Falls from your Bison Tomato Seeds ar Joe 
Dusalt’s residence, 3008 3d Ave. North, last year I 
decided to try your seeds. P. J. MICHELS,

RED HEAD. This is one of the 
very best second early sorts. 
As early as Chalk’s Jewel it is nearly as large as Stone. 
Very productive, the fruits are nearly globe-shaped and 
very solid. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.25, 
postpaid. 
BONNY BEST. Very nearly as early as Millet’s and Earli- 
ana, the bright deep scarlet fruits ripen more evenly than 
do those of any other early scarlet variety and are of su¬ 
perior solidity and interior color. A good yielder and 
most attractive in shape and color. This sort is to the 
front both for the home and market garden. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 35c; U lb., $1.10, postpaid. 
MARGLOBE. An all-purpose, midseason Tomato devel¬ 
oped by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The fruits 
are medium large, nearly globular, smooth and solid. 
This variety is resistant to wilt. Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; *4 lb., 
$1.00, postpaid. 
WONDERBERRY—GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY. Not a true 
Huckleberry, but belonging to the same family as do To¬ 
matoes, Eggplant, and Pepper, this is very productive of 
round, nearly black fruits, but little smaller than a Concord 
Grape. These fruits when fully ripe make excellent pies, 
preserves, and jam. I*kt., 10ci o/.., 50c.
