NEW! 
Wilt-Resistant Tomato 
— TOPSALL — 
(72 days.) A distinct, new, all-purpose Tomato. 
Topsall 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. Topsall 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 Topsall be- 
cause it never fails to make 
them money. Although 
Topsall was only introduced 
by us in 1937 it has become 
the most popular Tomato in 
Central Missouri today. Like 
its name, it tops all.
