DWARF GIANT (90 days) 
A “tree” tomato recommended for growing plants to be 
sold to the general public. The buyers will call for more 
plants because Dwarf Giant is an extremely large fruited 
sort, the fruit weighing over a pound each and is all meat, 
very tasty and free of acidity. Color, purple-crimson. Not 
a market gardeners’ variety. Fruit somewhat rough. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 60c; lb. $6.00. 
SCARLET TOPPER or PRITCHARD

than Earliana. Very heavy producer, fruit In clusters, globe 
shaped, of good size, very solid, very red, ripens very red 
clear to the stem. Vines of medium height with abundant 
foliage to protect the fruit from hot sun. Wilt resistant. 
New and extra good. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $4.00. 
CLARK’S SPECIAL EARLY (72 days) 
An extra early sort, ripening with Bonny Best, unusually 
attractive on account of its unexcelled bright scarlet color. 
The fruits are large, smooth, very solid, almost a globe, ex¬ 
ceptionally deep through from stem to bottom. Heavily pro¬ 
ductive. The percentage of culls is very small. A coming 
variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 1 lb. $3.00. 
TOMATO MARGLOBE (77 days) 
Main crop variety of vigorous growth, resistant to wilt and 
nail-head rust. Moderately productive. Fruit nearly globular, 
smooth, bright scarlet, very solid, of fine quality. In our trials 
we find the first set fruit large and very high class but what 
comes after is fruit rather undersized. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. 
$4.00. 
TOMATO —Ideal Forcing (67 days) 
New. Fruits slightly larger in size than Crackerjack, 
vines shorter, slightly darker red in color with very tough 
skin therefore a good shipper. Do not hesitate to try as Ideal 
is worthy of its name and if you prefer slightly larger toma¬ 
toes than our Crackerjack, Ideal may prove just the variety. 
Ideal is just as productive as Crackerjack. Pkt. 25c; % oz. 
50c; 1 oz. $2.00. 
TOMATO BIDE’S N. C. 0« —Forcing sort, early, fruit red, 
firm, solid, round smooth 3 to 4 tomatoes weighing a pound.

quantities of fruit in double bunches. Pkt. 20c.

over in quarter and half ounce lots at ounce rate. Quarter 
and half pounds at pound rate. Five pounds or over at 10 
pound rate. 26 pounds or over at 100 pound rate. 
TOMATO CRACKERJACK (66 days) 
A GREAT VARIETY FOR GREENHOUSE FORCING 
Crackerjack produces ten times as many fruits as other 
varieties and under glass will make more money for you than 
any other crop. The fruit is solid, smooth, globe shaped, 
bright red and there is no waste, every tomato is saleable. 
Medium in size, just right as the grocers of our city put it. 
It takes 3 to 5 Crackerjacks to a pound, for this reason grocers 
prefer Crackerjack over the big sized tomatoes which are so 
hard to weigh unless cut in pieces. Nobody wants cut toma¬ 
toes, Crackerjack weighing without cutting is the sort desired. 
Crackerjack is a strongly self pollenizing variety, every bloom 
is sure fruit which is produced in bunches of 5 to 10 every 6 
inches of a plant growth. Once it starts to turn in color it 
ripens quickly and evenly to the core. Crackerjack will yield 
bigger sized fruit if grown 10 degrees cooler than is required 
for other tomatoes. (Night temperature of 55 deg.) 
One of our customers writes: I have been growing 
Crackerjack Tomato for the past four years with splendid 
results, getting on the whole about 80% of what we term 48 
lbs. pack, that is that many tomatoes to a 10 pound box, 
which brings the highest price in our markets, especially 
when tomatoes retail for 40 or 50 cents per lb. We have 
grown tomatoes for the past 20 years—Comet and Sutton’s 
Best—but Crackerjack skins either kind. Price: Pkt. 15c; 
Va oz. 30c; oz. $2.00. 
TOMATO EARLIANA (66 days) 
Our strain is extra choice. Fruit as smooth and as free 
from cracks as can be expected, large and bright red. In our 
trials, our strain proved absolutely superior and we have 
tried many strains, some pretty high priced among them. 
To get a heavy crop of high quality tomatoes ahead of 
others, you must grow Earliana in heavily manured ground. 
Use well rotted manure and prepare your ground in the fall 
whenever possible. You must stake the plants, because when 
plants are left laying on the ground the fruit develops a green 
spot where it touches the ground. Do not use manure for 
other varieties of tomatoes except Bonny Best and Break O’ 
Day. Both these varieties do much better when grown on 
manured ground. Otherwise the rule is for all tomatoes: no 
fresh manure. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; lb. $3.00. 
TOMATO BREAK O’DAY (70 days) 
Wilt resistant. Its fruits are large, smooth, meaty, red 
and globular, very similar in fact to those of Marglobe but 
usually larger. In widely separated field tests Break O’ Day 
gave phenomenal results, in fact everywhere it has been tried 
the growers have been delighted with iis performance. The 
above is a description of the originator, Dr. Fred J. Pritchard. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $4.00. 
TOMATO LATE BONNY BEST (77 days) 
Produces a heavy crop of fine fruit, even under the most 
adverse conditions. The fruit is large, very solid, perfectly 
smooth, bright scarlet. The strain we offer is a special 
selection, wiltproof and free from other diseases. A prof¬ 
itable sort for a main crop, for shipping as well as forcing 
under glass. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c; oz. $1.00. 
TOMATO OXHEART (90 days) 
A mighty attractive tomato, unusual in shape, meeting 
with instantaneous favor everywhere. Heart-shaped, pink in 
color, meaty and solid, of large size, specimens weighing two 
pounds or over being quite common. Almost seedless. Fairly 
early. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 15c; oz. 60c. 
TOMATO RUTGER (72 days) 
Briefly stated Rutger is an improved Marglobe producing 
an average of larger fruit than Marglobe, slightly earlier. The 
fruit ripens from the center, has thick walls and extra firm 
flesh of brightest crimson. Pkt 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $4.00, prepaid.
