ARCHIAS’ BEST TOMATOES 
New Resistant 
TOMATO 
Topsail 
Here is a new ana distinct 
variety that was developed 
by a veteran Tomato grow- 
er. Topsail is a medium 
early variety that; continue* 
to bear throughout the sea' 
son. The vines are strong 
and vigorous like Marglobe. 
The fruits are nearly round 
or slightly flattened, of large 
size, always smooth, ripen 
evenly and are a bright deep 
scarlet all the way through, 
extremely solid with few 
seeds. Topsail ripens slight' 
ly earlier than Marglobe, 
bears until frost and is an 
extra heavy yielding sort. 
It is resistant to both blight 
and rust. Here is a fine 
Tomato for both home and 
market. Pkt., 15c; V 2 oz., 
35c; oz., 50c; x / 4 lb., #1.50,
