1118 Burpee’s Hew u Nameless" Tomato 
$100 for a Name 
A distinct, new, all-purpose tomato 
—a new and different type of fruit on a 
new kind of vine. The plant is short 
stemmed and bushy, but with no self- 
topping tendency. The leaves are 
small and set closely together, dark 
green, thick and firm in texture, 
forming a dense mass of foliage 
which virtually hides the fruit, 
especially in center of plant. 
The fruit, unusual in that 
it combines large size with 
deep globular form, averages 
7 to ozs. and maintains 
its size well throughout, the 
season. The shoulder is 
smooth, there is little or no 
depression at the stem end, 
and the scar is quite small — 
in other words, it is refined in 
spite of its size. The color is 
bright scarlet, uniform, and 
attractive. Slice Burpee’s New 
“Nameless” Tomato and you 
will marvel at the structure and 
firmness of its interior. Flavor? 
As good as Marglobe, and that’s a 
high compliment. Ready in 75 days 
from setting out the plants. 100 seeds 100; 
300 seeds 250; 1,500 seeds $1.00.

All-America Bronze Medal Winner for 1940 
In this pepper we believe that we have com¬ 
bined thickness of flesh and desirable shape 
with earliness, productivity, and adapta¬ 
bility to every part of the country. It 
most closely resembles California Won¬ 
der but is a week or ten days earlier 
in Southeastern Pennsylvania, and 
farther north this valuable charac¬ 
teristic is intensified. It is remark¬ 
ably productive, setting an unbe¬ 
lievably heavy crop of peppers 
underalmost anyconditions. Plants 
are 15 to 18 in. tall, erect, bearing 
fruits upright in large clusters. 
The fruit is blocky, just the right 
size and shape for stuffing, measur¬ 
ing 3 to in. in diameter and 3to 
3^4 in. in length. It is nearly round in 
cross section, with 3 or 4 lobes, a well- 
rounded blossom end entirely without 
objectionable deep creases, and is glossy 
dark green turning bright red when ripe. 
The flesh is % in. thick, tender, crisp, and, 
of course, always sweet. Ready in 67 days 
from time of setting out the plants.
