The Tomato for Northern Gardens 
We were the first concern to grow and list this fine Tomato 
» _ 
originated by Professor A. P. Yeager at the North Dakota Experi¬ 
ment Station. It is self-pruning or determinate in growth. In 
place of wasting its vitality in continuous branching as do prac¬ 
tically all other Tomatoes, Bison grows a compact plant and put;^ 
all its energies into producing and ripening a heavy and extra 
early crop of solid, meaty, medium sized red Tomatoes of finest 
quality. Many yields up to 40 pounds for one plant have been re¬ 
ported. Pkt., 10c; Mi oz., .30c; oz., .'iOc; lb., 1 lb., $6.00, 
postpaid. 
Tried your Bison last year and had fine success, they were ripe the 
15th of July. Mrs. Bridget O’Connor, Newcastle, Nebr., R. No. 1. 
This spring I set out 14 hundred tomato plants and raised them. 
We sold nearly 5 hundred dollars worth of tomatoes this summer. We 
have 2 flowing wells, we take great interest in our garden.
