Tomato 
This variety created quite a sensation last

than the Marglobe and matures as early as 
the Earliana. Pkt., 5¢; oz., 50c; 4 lb., $1.25. 
JOHN BAER. An extra early scarlet fruited 
variety of superior merit. The vines are very 
hardy and exceptionally productive. It is one

longer than other very early varieties. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 35c; 14 lb., $1.00. 
GOTHEN’S GLOBE. Medium early. Large and 
a good shipper. Fruits, scarlet, nearly globe 
shaped, smooth, solid, with small seed cav- 
ities. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 14 lb., $1.00.

its upright growth and its ability to stand 
alone without trellising. Fruit medium sized, 
smooth, uniform and of a purplish carmine 
color. Pkt., 5c; oz., 50c; 1% Ib., $1.25. 
EARLIANA. Most Popular Extra Early Red.

uniformly large red Tomato. The big planting 
by Southern shipper and marketers is Earli- 
ana. It has a sturdy vine, producing fruit in 
compact masses, and has few seeds. Its early 
ripening is aided by sparse foliage. This is 
a most valuable variety if true seed is used.

JUNE PINK. An extra early, purplish pink 
Tomato, similar to the popular scarlet fruited 
Earliana in growth and vine, shape and size
