TOMATO 
CULTURE. Tomato seed should be planted in a box in 
the house or in hotbeds or greenhouse about the 1st of 
March, then transplanted once or twice to develop the 
roots to a good size before setting out in the open. Do 
not set out until all danger of frost is passed, as toma¬ 
toes are easily damaged by frost.

Pritchard* (Scarlet Topper) 
This new variety introduced by the U. S. Dept, of Agri¬ 
culture, is from their experiments, the most perfect 
disease, wilt and rust-resisting tomato. The fruits are 
scarlet, large, globe-shaped and very attractive. Pritchard 
matures as early as Bonny Best and is highly recom¬ 
mended for both home and market garden. 
Gould's Early Standard* 
Gould’s Early Standard Tomato is the result of many 
years of experimenting to obtain a meaty, heavy bearing 
tomato, that would produce early and continue to bear 
fruit until frost. 
It has no equal for the home garden or for market, be¬ 
ing an excellent keeper and shipper, fruit being firm, 
coloring beautifully, producing abundantly from early 
summer till frost. Flavor is unsurpassed. Unexcelled 
for canning. No expense has been spared to make Gould’s 
Early Standard the best tomato grown anywhere.

Earliana "Private Stock"* 
The result of many years’ selection from the most per¬ 
fect and earliest stock. Produces more uniform fruit 
of a smooth, perfect shape than any other early variety. 
Spark's Earliana 
One of the very earliest sorts. 
Fruit of fair size, color bright 
scarlet. A prolific bearer, yield¬ 
ing fruit in clusters, particularly 
in warm sandy soil. 
Dwarf Champion 
Dwarf and compact in habit. 
Stands up well even when loaded 
with fruit, having a stiff, bushy 
stem. May be planted close to¬ 
gether making it desirable for 
small gardens. The fruit is of a 
purplish pink color, medium size, 
smooth, very attractive and fine 
flavored. Skin is tough and flesh 
solid, but has no hard core. 
Rutgers* 
This is a recent introduction by 
the New Jersey Agricultural Col¬ 
lege. It Is especially adapted for 
market gardeners. The flesh be¬ 
ing firm and sparkling red, ma¬ 
turing about the same time as 
Marglobe. 
New Penn Stnte 
Tomato 
Bonny Best* 
A very popular second early variety. Ripens a few days 
later than Earliana. Vines are vigorous, prolific, fruit 
red, solid, medium in size, smooth, small core and very 
uniform in size and color. A very popular variety for 
early market and also a good home garden tomato. 
New Penn State* 
Originated by Dr. C. E. Meyers of the Agricultural Ex¬ 
periment Station of Pennsylvania after seven years of 
breeding work. The plant is vigorous and yet compact 
with heavy foliage to protect from sun scald. It is as 
early as the Earliana and of much better quality. 
John Baer* 
Is considered one of the best early tomatoes grown. 
Fruit is smooth, uniform in size, nearly round, firm and 
of excellent quality. Will hold up well for shipping. It 
is a heavy bearer that will last all summer. A favorite 
with market gardeners, shippers and canners. 
Ponderosa 
This is the largest fruited Tomato. It 
is solid with very small seed cells, of 
very fine quality for slicing. Some of 
the fruit is oblong in shape and some¬ 
what ribbed. The color is purplish 
red. The vines are strong and if staked 
will grow to a height of 6 or 7 feet, 
Golden Ponderosa 
A large golden-yellow tomato, in shape 
very much like the Red Ponderosa. 
The vines are vigorous and bear right 
up to frost, fruits very uniform in size 
and shape that contain very few seeds. 
SMALL FRUITED TOMATOES 
Ground Cherry or Golden Husk 
These are greatly valued for preserves 
or for making pies. Fruit is very 
sweet and mild in flavor. 
Yellow Plum 
A small yellow fruited variety, finely flavored, resembling 
a plum in size and form. Used mostly for preserving. 
Yellow Pear 
Fruit is pear shaped, slightly larger than the Yellow 
Plum, of clear yellow color. 
Italian Large Plum 
This is a bright red plum shaped tomato. The fruit is 
borne in clusters of six or more. It is very prolific and 
is used extensively for salads and preserves. _ 
October 13, 1936. 
I picked 917 ripe and 2 bushels of green tomatoes 
from 12 Gould’s Standard tomato plants which 1 
purchased from you this spring. This is all the more 
remarkable when you take into consideration the 
extremely hot and dry summer we had. Best of all, 
the quality of Gould’s Standard tomato is the best 
of any variety I have ever tried.

round and slightly smaller than a Concord Grape.
