for which we paid $500 for a name. 



Note the deep» globe shape and the firm, meaty interior of Table Talk Tomato. 
1118 Table Talk 75 days. A new, all-purpose tomato—a new and different type of fruit on a 
new kind of vine. The plant is short stemmed and bushy, but with no self-topping tendency. The 
leaves are small and set closely together, dark green, thick and firm in texture, forming a dense mass 
of foliage which not only protects the fruit, but virtually hides it, especially in the center of the plant. 
The fruit, unusual in that it combines large size with deep globular form, averages 7 to 8% ozs. and 
maintains its size well throughout the season. The shoulder is smooth, there is little or no depression 
at the stem end, and the scar is quite small—in other words, it is refined in spite of its size. The color 
is bright scarlet, uniform and attractive. Slice Burpee’s Table Talk Tomato and you will marvel at 
the structure and the firmness of its interior. Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 50¢; oz. 90¢; 14 lb. $3.25.
