to grow than any other extra early variety. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, Vi lb. 70c, V 2

TOMATO 
Tomatoes do best in warm, moderately rich soil. Sow seeds early in March in hot bed 
or house, in shallow boxes. About May 15 to 20 in this latitude the plants should be set 
out in the open ground, in rows four feet apart each way. All seeds we offer are from 
critically selected specimens of fruit and must prove of the greatest value to the planter. 
Pritchard or Scar¬ 
let Topper Ab, a f re- 
extensive experiments con¬ 
ducted by the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture in their quest 
for a perfect disease, wilt 
and rust resisting tomato, 
several fine varieties have 
been developed; but, it is 
believed that this, their 
newest introduction is the 
most perfect sort yet pro¬ 
duced. An extra-early, large, 
smooth, and extremely solid 
Tomato of an intense scar¬ 
let color. Most productive 
and very attractive. Of a 
solidity that is truly re¬ 
markable, with very small 
seed pockets and no core. 
Its productiveness, particu¬ 
larly on rich soil, is amaz¬ 
ing, and individual plants 
will bear 70 to 80 fruits 
each. It will yield 15 tons 
and more per acre. Pkt. 5c, 
oz. 25c, V4 lb. 80c, V2 lb.
