PRITCHARD. (Scarlet Topper). This wonderful tomato was intro¬ 
duced by the late Dr. Fred Pritchard of the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture. Pritchard, globe-shaped, smooth and solid, was 
found to be just a few days later than Earliana and about on par 
with Break o’ Day. Our seed was grown from the original stock seed 
furnished by the late Dr. Pritchard. No grower should pass up the 
opportunity to give this Tomato a trial. (Certified Seed). Pkt., 10c;

supersede the other Earliana strains. Our seed has been produced 
directly from the original stock. Pkt., 10c; Vz oz., 20c; oz., 35c; Va lb..
