The illustration gives a fair idea of its size and smoothness. 
The color is a rich, cardinal red. The skin is so tough that it 
is a splendid keeper and shipper, and is less liable to crack 
in wet weather than any other tomato. Unsurpassed for 
market or table. The plant is a strong grower, and is very 
productive. The fruit is free from core, and the seed spaces 
are small. The leaves are of a rich, dark green color, and 
very luxuriant, indicating great ability to produce fruit of 
the largest size throughout the entire season. It stands at 
the front as the earliest bright red tomato. See cut. Packet,

“Read What Our Customers Say About This” 
Gentlemen: Dec. 25, Sioux Center, Iowa. 
As we had a fine crop of your First of All Tomatoes we 
had about 2000 plants this year and harvested 500 Bushel 
of them. We want to praise them very highly, and besides 
that we enclose a photo of my husband holding - a cluster in 
his hand with 42 well developed Tomatoes on it, and the 
same vine produced 84 more well grown Tomatoes, and the 
vine was full of blossoms. We were indeed very well pleased 
with them. Yours truly, Mr. & Mrs. Ed. Poel. 
“Your First of All Tomatoes are wonderful. I made big 
money on my crop this year.”—Fred G. Deishlie. 
Gentlemen: I am sending you a cluster of your First of All 
Tomatoes, that I grew this year. This cluster contains ten 
large luscious tomatoes. Many clusters contained twelve to 
fifteen tomatoes. I don’t see how the vine holds them up. 
They are the best I ever saw. I make big money on them.— 
Earl Mouck.
