JOHN BAER. Improved Strain. Heavy Yielding. Is an 
-- improved strain of this variety which has long 
been one of the most reliable sorts for canning, home garden and mar¬ 
ket. It produces immense crops of smooth, handsome fruit; larger than 
most strains of this variety. 
The fruit is solid, deep red all through, and produced in great clus¬ 
ters. It is early enough to ripen the whole crop before frost in a normal 
season. 
We find by carefully conducted trials and reports of critical growers 
that our strain of John Baer is fully equal to any stock of this variety 
obtainable and far superior to most of them.

HARRIS’ SUCCESS. This old favorite is still popular with 
many people. Although but a little later than Bonny Best 
and John Baer, the fruit is larger and more like Stone. It is of 
the finest quality for cooking or canning, being much sweeter 
and more free from acidity than most other kinds. The vines 
are very vigorous and produce enormous crops of very large, 
handsome fruit. This is a most satisfactory variety to have 
in the home garden.

RUTGERS New — Extra Large and Solid Fruit. This new tomato which originated at the New 
-- Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station is outstanding for the large size and solid 
structure of the fruit. This combined with a deep red color all over, fine globe shape and excellent 
flavor make Rutgers a very popular variety. 
This is not an early variety, but matures about the same time as Marglobe. The yield is very large 
and even in our northern climate it will ripen an abundance of fruit before the vines are killed by frost. 
Rutgers is a superb kind for canning. The canned fruit being firm, mild but with excellent flavor 
and a very attractive deep red color. Try some Rutgers this year.

ITALIAN RED PEAR (Pomo d’oro a Pero). This tomato is most prized by the Italian people for 
making their famous “tomato paste.” It is also used extensively for canning. These tomatoes canned 
whole with a few leaves of basil make a delightful change from ordinary canned tomatoes. 
The fruit is very solid with thick walls, and deep red in color throughout. It is true pear shape but 
three or four times as large as the ordinary red pear tomatoes. It is borne in clusters of 4 to 7 fruits on 
strong vines.

MARGLOBE. ?"*•** Resistant. Main Crop. Our original stock seed of this 
- - famous tomaU>>wi»s sent to us by the United States Department 
of Agriculture at Washington. We have grown and improved this variety on our 
farm for a number of years, until now we have a stock that is unsurpassed. 
The tomatoes are large, globe shaped, smooth, color perfectly up to the stem and 
are of a deep red color all through. The vines are vigorous and resist blight well even 
in very wet weather. The fruit ripens medium late coming on just after John Baer 
and Bonny Best. It is so large, smooth and handsome that it is excellent for market, 
canning or any other purpose.

BONNY BEST. Harris’ Special Strain. This magnificent early variety should be 
largely planted for home use and market. The fruit ripens only a week later than 
Earliana and the plants produce enormous crops of beautiful, smooth, high colored 
fruit, practically all of which ripen before the vines are killed by frost. 
The tomatoes are of good size, only 
slightly smaller than Improved John 
Baer, smooth as an apple and a deep 
scarlet color which extends right up to 
the stem without any green tinge. There 
is no finer strain of Bonny Best than the 
seed we offer, no matter what price is 
charged.
