Victor 
The New Extra Early Tomato 
Developed by Dr. Yeager at Mich- 
igan State College and introduced only 
last year, this new tomato has been 
found to be a real money maker for the 
growers. At the time when the old extra 
early varieties have but one or two ripe 
fruits, Victor has large clusters of beau- 
tiful tomatoes ripening all at once. With 
Victor you can market an abundance of 
fine smooth first class tomatoes earlier 
even than you could the old fashioned 
kinds and get top prices. 
The tomatoes are of good size (the 
average was over 414 oz. on our farm), 
smooth and solid. Having a character- 
istic light color when green, they turn : <<

type, that can be planted close together (2 x 3 ft. is recommended) and thus have more early 
fruit per acre. If you want extra early tomatoes, be sure to grow Victor.

Rutgers Tomato—HdHarris’ Northern Grown Strain 
Very few varieties have attained such universal popularity in so short a time as has the Rutgers. 
Since its introduction a few years ago by Prof. Schermerhorn of the New Jersey Agricultural 
Experiment Station, it has taken a leading place both as a canning and a market kind. 
The outstanding features of the Rutgers are the large size and solid structure of the fruit, deep 
globe shape, fine flavor and deep red color all over together with a heavy set of fruit which makes 
for high yield. It is one of the most prolific varieties. 
Although this is a main crop tomato we have selected it for earliness, producing a strain which 
is only a little later than Scarlet Topper, without losing any of its other fine characters. The vines 
are strong and sturdy with plenty of leaves to prevent the fruit being scalded by the sun.

Marglobe Tomato—Blight Resistant 
The fruit is large, globe shaped, perfectly smooth, deep red, very solid and firm. This is also a 
standard variety for green pack, as it grows with very little stem crack and ripens well in storage. 
The vines are vigorous and healthy and do not blight, remaining green until frost, so the late 
fruit is as good as the first to ripen. 
We have grown this variety on our own farm since it was first released by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture a number of years ago and have made careful selections each year to improve the 
yield, uniformity of color, size and shape of fruit.

Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper thipues 
Also Called ‘‘Pritchard”’ 
Because of its fine quality and beautiful ap- 
pearance, this tomato has become a very popular 
market variety. Starting with stock seed sent us 
by the United States Department of Agriculture, 
we have been growing and selecting the seed 
here in the North in order to maintain the size, 
vigor and earliness of this variety. 
This is a very heavy bearer. The fruit is me- 
dium early, ripening right after Bonny Best. The 
flesh is very solid with few seed cavities and a 
fine red color all through. It is quite free from 
cracking. The quality is extra fine, being mild 
and without acidity. 
The plants are robust but not of rank growth.
