Victor Tomatoes 
A single plant in our field—Note the heavy set of smooth ripe fruit. 
“T am writing to express my pleasure at the success experienced in my 
trials of the Victor tomato this season. Although I raised but a small number 
of plants the results attained were most satisfactory. Set in the ground on 
June 16th they produced ripe fruit Aug. 2nd; Rutgers set May 21, ripened 
first fruit August 1st. Not only is Victor very early but I have not seen in my 
fifty odd years of gardening, any tomato pile up such a lot of tomatoes at the 
base of the plant for so great a proportion of extra early, good sized fruits. 
I have seen and fruited most of the early kinds and I have tried none that 
Victor 
New Extra Early—Smooth and Solid 
This new tomato has the rare combination of fine points sought by 
breeders for years, i.e., extra early fruit, borne in great abundance, but so 
smooth, firm, solid and fine colored that it compares well with many later 
varieties in this respect. This variety ripens large clusters of fruit when 
the other extra early kinds have only one or two ripe fruits. The fruits are 
good size (average over 41% oz.) light green when young, changing to a 
bright red all over, smooth and handsome and with no green spots. They 
are firm and solid and of excellent quality. 
The vine is of the sturdy determinate type, which can be planted close 
together (2 x 3 ft. is recommended) thus producing a much larger yield 
of early fruit to the acre. 
This tomato has already proved to be a real money maker for the 
market gardener and superb early variety for home garden. We are pleased 
to offer New York Certified seed of our own growing.

Pan American 
New Fusarium Resistant Tomato 
This new main crop tomato developed by the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture is completely resistant to fusarium wilt, and proved 
avery promising market variety this past year. 
The fruits carry the fine deep globe shape of Marglobe but average 
somewhat larger in size. They are so uniform that we found practically 
no small fruits in our crops, even late in the season. They ripen evenly 
to the stem and are an attractive bright scarlet color. The flesh is excep- 
tionally firm, meaty, and solid. 
Pan American has large robust plants producing enormous yields of 
fine fruit about the same time as Marglobe and Rutgers. It is an excel- 
lent variety to prolong the season as the fruit remains firm and delicious 
long after earlier varieties have become soft and watery. New York

ytelded so many at so early a date. I hope to have many more Victor plants 
another year.” Josiah H. Cox, Middletown, N. Y. Sept 18, 1941. 
Quality Squash 
Our Favorite. Fine Grained and Sweet 
For years we have compared this squash with the best 
varieties, and it is still our favorite of all the kinds we 
grow or sell. 
The outside skin is dark green, thin and hard, protect- 
ing the thick orange colored flesh. The flesh is sweeter 
and finer flavored than any other kind we know and 
cooks as dry as a good sweet potato. The texture is very 
fine without stringiness. The fruit is medium size (5-10 
lbs.) a very convenient size for family use. The vines are 
strong and healthy and produce excellent crops. 
We know of no more satisfactory kind for the home 
garden and the present trend toward the smaller and 
better quality sorts both in the city markets and at road- 
side stands makes this a profitable kind to grow. These 
attractive dark green squash find a ready sale.

Macomber—The Sweetest Ruta Baga, White Flesh 
Many people who do not ordinarily care for ruta bagas are very fond of the ‘‘Macomber.”’ 
If you have not tried them before, you will be surprised that'ruta bagas could be so mild and 
sweet. It is of very much finer quality for table use than any other kind. 
The turnips are white with purplish green tops, large, smooth, round and handsome and with 
practically no neck. The flesh is white, fine grained and of a mild sweet flavor. They will keep all 
winter and remain in fine condition if properly stored. To get the best results the seed should 
be sown about the middle or last of June in the Northern states. 
We highly recommend this turnip for the home garden or market where quality is ap- 
preciated and this excellent variety finds ready sales at the roadside market.

Indian Summer Raspberry—New Autumn Fruiting (Everbearing) 
This is the most satisfactory fall bearing raspberry and should be planted in every garden. 
It bears a fine crop in early summer and a second crop in the fall on the tips of the new canes, 
starting to bear in our climate about mid September and continuing until severe freezing 
weather. We have actually had fine fruit of Indian Summer in the middle of November. 
The fruit is large, medium red in color, of mild flavor and excellent quality. The plants are 
above medium height, vigorous and hardy and bear enormous crops. 
Plants: Doz. $1.10; 25 for $1.75 transportation paid. Not paid: $4.00 per 100.
