NICHOLSON'S TOMATOES-Selected For the South 
417—NICHOLSON’S BREAK O’DAY. (See 
Back Cover.) Requires 70 days. We have re¬ 
ceived more complimentary letters from our 
customers on this tomato than any we have 
ever handled. The fruits are large smooth, red, 
heavily meated and globular in shape. It is as 
early as Earliana, 10 to 12 days earlier than 
Marglobe, and a heavier yielder than either. 
Nicholson’s Break O’Day is an excellent ship¬ 
per. All tests have proven that the fruits very 
seldom crack and are not affected by sun scald; 
vines are practically free from blossom-end 
rot, and even when planted with other sorts 
that would be affected as much as 90 per cent. 
The open spreading vine with small leaves is 
wilt resistant and sets fruits freely. Pkt., 10c; 
on., 35c; V*. lb., $1.00; lb. $3.50; 5 lbs., $15.75, 
postpaid. Please ask for prices in larger quan¬ 
tities. 
398—NICHOLSON’S PRITCHARD. Requires 
73 days. A cross between Marglobe and 
Cooper’s Special; it inherited the good qual¬ 
ities of both parents. It is early, with large, 
smooth, meaty, very red, globular-shape fruit. 
Vines are medium, dense, erect and self-top- 
ping. Especially bred up for a green wrap¬ 
ped tomato, also an excellent canner and it 
ripens well up to the stem end. It has a 
tendency to set a rather large number of 
fruits. It therefore requires either a natur¬ 
ally fertile soil or one well fertilized in order 
to size up the fruit properly and produce the 
maximum quantity of fruit per vine. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 40c; *4 lb., $1.25; lb., $4.00, post¬ 
paid. Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
397—JUNE PINK TOMATO. Requires 69 
days. It is a beautiful purplish pink Tomato 
similar to the popular Earliana in growth of 
vine, shape and size of fruits. A valuable 
variety for the market gardeners who want a 
very early Tomato. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; % lb., 
$1.00; lb., $3.50; 5 lbs., $15.00, postpaid. Not

hardy and very prolific extra early variety.

home use. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75e; lb.,

MR. JOHN Q. PUBLIC 
World conditions point to an advance 
in the cost of living and it will be a 
wise move in 1940 to reserve space in 
your garden for a nice size vegetable 
plot. Vegetables are best, fresh from 
your own garden. 
No method of food preservation will 
maintain the full-flavor, chemical con¬ 
tent and food value of freshly picked 
vegetables. 
Folks on the farm will do well to en¬ 
large their vegetable gardens as advo¬ 
cated by the U. S. Department of Agri¬ 
culture.
