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 ToDDcr ^ 
ici 1 upper 
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. 8c,

order and not something else just as good. M. A. Rhodes

type. Not as early as Ear liana, yet there are only a few day s 
difference, and John Baer yields a much heavier crop of larger, more uniform 
and more attractive fruits that in total it makes a much more profitable crop 
to grow than any other extra early variety. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, Vi lb. 70c, Vz
