Large, solid, deep red fruit 
PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER. Also called Pritchard. This is 
one of the finest tomatoes ever grown. The fruits are medium to large, 
round, thick of flesh, firm and with but small seed cavities. The color is 
a brilliant red throughout and they color right up to the top without 
any hard green spots and have been resistant to “cracking.” 
It is free from acidity and altogether a tomato of exceptionally fine 
quality. It is one of the best kinds for home canning we know. In season 
the fruit ripens only a few days later than the early kinds such as 
Bonny Best and John Baer. 
Home gardeners should not be without this valuable kind in their 
garden. Market gardeners and growers for roadside stands where quality 
counts will find this a profitable variety.

REDCAP. (New.) Introduced by the New York State Agriculture Ex¬ 
periment Station at Geneva. This new tomato has proved to be an 
excellent cropper. The fruits are slightly flattened, smooth and solid. 
They are of mild but excellent flavor, making a superior canned prod¬ 
uct. The color both inside and out is exceptionally good. Ripens about 
the same time as Baer.

MARGLOBE. Blight Resistant. Main Crop. Our original stock 
-1 seed of this famous tomato was sent to us by the 
United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. We have 
grown and improved this variety on our farm for a number of years, 
until now we have a stock that is unsurpassed. 
The tomatoes are large, globe shaped, smooth, color perfectly all 
over and are of deep red color all through. The vines are vigorous 
and resist blight well even in very wet weather. The fruit ripens medium 
late coming on just after John Baer and Bonny Best. It is so large, 
smooth and handsome that it is excellent for market, canning or any 
other purpose.

popular variety. See photo and full description on page 6.

Small Fruits for the Home Garden 
Small fruits do not take up a great deal of space and add im¬ 
measurably to the value and satisfaction of the home garden. See 
pages 83 to 85 for Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries and Grapes. 
“I have bought tomato seed of you nearly every year for 20 years and 
have always found them clean, productive and true to variety.” 
E. C. Francis, Mountain Grove, Mo. Feb. 25, 1939. 
Improved John Baer 
A typical cluster of fruit. 
JOHN BAER. Improved Strain. Heavy Yielding. One of the 
——— most reliable sorts for canning, home garden and 
market. Ours is the Geneva strain of this variety producing immense 
crops of smooth, handsome fruit which are larger than most strains of 
this variety. 
The fruit is solid, deep red all through, and produced in great clusters. 
It is early enough to ripen the whole crop before frost in a normal 
season. 
We find by carefully conducted trials and reports of critical growers 
that our strain of John Baer is fully equal to any stock of this variety 
obtainable and far superior to most of them.
