(See picture back cover) 
765. RUTGER’S. (71 days.) Our greatest Tomato. 
I introduced this over the radio in a big way about 
four years ago. I knew at the time what a grand 
Tomato it was going to turn out to be for you. 
The plants are strong and have just enough foliage 
to protect the fruits from sun-scald. The large, 
bright scarlet fruits ripen from the inside ouf—the 
deep red solid flesh is exceptionally fine for slicing 
and canning. We had a lot of fine compliments on 
it at our booths at the Iowa and Nebraska State 
fairs the past season. They keep bearing clear up 
until frost hits them in late Fall. We had Rutger’s 
Tomatoes this year from our own vines up to the 
10th of November. You will get a large yield from 
Rutger’s, larger than any other variety | know of. 
Thousands of people will testify with me on this 
and I know as they read it, they will say, “Yes, 
sir, we’re planting Rutger’s again this year.” Ex-
