JUNE PINK (60 days)—In habit of growth, productiveness and size of 
fruit identical with Earliana, differing only in having purple fruit. The 
best extra early purple variety. 
MARGLOBE (70 days)—One of the most popular of the wilt-resistant varie¬ 
ties. It is second early in maturity. The plant is vigorous, large and erect, 
its foliage shading the fruit and preventing sun scald. Fruits are red in 
color, large, smooth and globular. A very productive variety well adapted 
for truck gardening, shipping, and as a canning variety. 
NORTON WILT RESISTANT (80 days)—Similar to Stone, but bred for 
its resistance to Fusarium Wilt. Possibly a trifle later than Stone. Deep 
red in color. 
OXHEART (90 days) —One of the largest of all tomatoes. Purple fruits often 
weigh up to 1)^ pounds. Of distinct “oxheart” form, very solid, with few 
seed cells. 
PONDEROSA, or BRIMMER (90 days)—An exceptionally large, purple- 
fruited tomato, and one of the best for home use. Fruit very solid, with 
few seeds. We have much improved this stock. 
PRITCHARD, or SCARLET TOPPER (75 days)—A mid-season scarlet- 
fruited sort, which is resistant to Fusarium Wilt and to Nail Head Rust. 
Vine vigorous, and productive. Fruits nearly globular in shape. 
RED ROCK (85 days)—A very fine selection of the Baltimore type. Medium 
early, round, smooth, and cardinal red. Makes a good canning variety. 
ROYAL PURPLE (80 days) —An improved type of Beauty and more pro¬ 
ductive. Fruits exceedingly smooth and uniformly large in size, round, and 
with little core; color deep pink, tinged purple. A mid-season sort. 
STONE (85 days)—The standard and general favorite with truckers and 
canners; always dependable, very vigorous and productive; fruits round, 
large, solid, smooth and deep red in color. Our selected stock of Stone is 
much above the average. 
STRAWBERRY, WINTER CHERRY, or HUSK (90 days)—The small 
yellow fruits are produced in a husk. Excellent for preserves.
