TOMATOES —Continued 
John Baer—Improved Strain 
The Best Tomato in Its Class 
This is the Geneva strain of John Baer 
tomato and will produce larger fruit and more 
tons of fine tomatoes to the acre than any 
stock we have ever seen. 
The fruit is unusually large for this 
variety. It is very smooth and is deep red 
throughout, coloring right up to the stem. 
The vines are vigorous and healthy and pro¬ 
duce heavy crops. 
We regard this Improved John Baer as 
one of the best medium early tomatoes, and 
can recommend it most highly both for market 
and canning. 
N. Y. State Certified Seed of our own 
growing. See prices below.
