NEW/ 
Wilt-Resistant Tomato 
-TOPS ALL- 
(72 days.) A distinct, new, all-purpose Tomato. 
Topsail is a medium early variety that continues to bear 
throughout the season. The vines are strong and vig¬ 
orous like Marglobe. The fruits are nearly round, 
weighing on an average of 6 ounces. The meat is ex¬ 
tremely solid, with few seeds. Topsail ripens evenly, 
a bright scarlet-red all the way through. Being a 
heavy yielder and resistant to both blight and rust, 
it makes an ideal Tomato for table use and 
canning. Market gardeners like Topsail be¬ 
cause it never fails to make 
them money. Although 
Topsail was only introduced 
by us in 1937 it has become 
the most popular Tomato in 
Central Missouri today. Like 
its name, it tops all. 
Pkt., 15c; Vz oz., 
35c; oz., 50c; M lb.,

Transplant when 2 or 3 inches high. 
When ground has become warm, trans¬ 
plant, on a rainy or cloudy day. Set the 
plants 4 by 4 feet, 3000 plants per acre; 
the dwarf sorts may be planted closer.
