DISCO TOMATOES 
581 BONNIE BEST—Early, medium sized, slightly 
flattened, smooth, scarlet colored. The plants are 
vigorous and prolific, the fruits of excellent qual¬ 
ity. 
582 CRIMSON CUSHION—A very large, solid and 
meaty red tomato for main crop planting. 
583 DISCO EARLIANA—The best of the early to¬ 
matoes, it is also equal in quality to the finest 
medium or late tomato. Solid and excellent for 
market. Fruits are medium sized, firm and smooth, 
deep scarlet in color. 
584 PENN STATE—All-America Selections— 
Special Mention. An extremely early tomato, 
unusually free of blemishes. Rich scarlet in color, 
the flesh is dark red with very little core. A very 
fine tomato. 
585 GOLDEN QUEEN—Large size, smooth fruits 
of bright golden yellow. Thick and meaty, of ex¬ 
cellent flavor, and of mild acidity. Very solid and 
fleshy. 
586 PONDEROSA—A very large, productive va¬ 
riety for the home garden. A main crop, it bears 
until frost. The flesh is solid and meaty, the ex¬ 
terior somewhat rough and inclined to crack. 
Splendid for slicing. 
^ 589 PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPEI^-All- 
America Selections—Gold Medal. A mid-season 
variety, wilt resistant and disease resistant, rec¬ 
ommended for shipping. Medium to large, excep¬ 
tionally fine quality. 
590 OXHEART—Large at the stem and tapers al¬ 
most to a point. Main crop, solid and meaty, fine 
for slicing. 
New Fire steel 
592 FIRE STEEL T OMATO—A new development, 
being a cross between Pritchard and Bison, intro¬ 
duced by one of our local successful market gar¬ 
deners who has specialized in tomato breeding for 
a number of years. This gardener was in our office 
recently telling us he had received a letter from 
a firm who specialize in supplying seed to truck 
growers. They purchased a small quantity of 
Firesteel Tomato last spring and wrote that it 
was the best all around tomato in regard to yield, 
early maturity, and fine flavor they ever grew, 
and ordered 10 pounds of seed for delivery this 
spring. It is a self-pruner, and consequently the 
plants can be planted very close together. Last 
year in Davison county. South Dakota, a yield of 
over 800 bushels per acre was gathered from Fire- 
steel Tomato. 
587 MARGLOBE—A second early sort, very resist¬ 
ant to wilt and rust diseases. Medium size, smooth, 
bright red fruits. A heavy producer and a fine 
shipping variety. 
588 BISON—One of the most outstanding tomatoes 
for the Northwest, hardy, very early. The fruit 
ripens evenly, and great quantities of ripe toma¬ 
toes can be picked from each vine at one time. 
Has less foliage than any other variety, and there¬ 
fore the growth goes to the tomato rather than 
to vines. We would recommend this tomato in 
preference to all others for the Northwest. 
595 IMPROVED BISON—This is a selection made 
for several years by a truck grower who special¬ 
izes in tomato growing. While retaining the 
salient features which have caused Bison to be¬ 
come so popular in the Northwest, has smoother 
fruits, smaller seed cavities, heavier yielding, and 
finer flavor than the original strain, particularly • 
well adapted for canning and making tomato juice 
as well as slicing. 
588 Bison 
SMALL FRUITED VARIETIES 
593 STRAWBERRY (Ground Cherry or Husk)—Not 
a true tomato. Small, round yellow fruits inclosed 
in a thin papery husk. Very sweet, used mostly 
for pies and preserves. 
594 YELLOW PEAR—Fruit bright yellow of rich 
flavor, mostly used for preserves. The most popu¬ 
lar of the small fruited varieties. 
DISCO TURNIPS 
610 PUBPLE TOP STRAP LEAVED—Very widely 
used, flattened on top. 
611 PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE—Similar to 
above, except globe shaped. 
612 WHITE EGG—Early, oval or egg shaped.
