SUGAR TOMATO 
“REQUIRES LESS SUGAR 
The introducer of this 
tomato claims that it is 
the sweetest of all toma- 
toes, containing more 
than 12% sugar. Nothing 
like it ever before. Note 
the beauty and symmetry 
of the long racemes of 
fruit, often two feet in 
length. Smaller than or- 
dinary tomatoes, but their 
superb sweetness and ap- 
pearance make the Sugar 
Tomato one of the finest 
vegetable introductions in 
years. Bears enormously 
and is in a distinct class 
for dainty dishes, salads, 
sauces, juice, etc. Be first 
to have it in your locality.

MARKET STRAIN 
Our select Market Strain of Bonny Best is the finest 
on the market, being earlier, larger and more produc- 
tive than Standard Strains. The smooth, scarlet fruit

Rutger's Wilt Resistant © 
A main crop Tomato developed at the New Jersey 
Agricultural Experiment Station. Produces a large 
plant with an abundance of foliage to protect the fruit 
from sunscald. The fruits are medium to large, simi- 
lar in shape to Marglobe, but more flattened at the 
stem end; bright red, smooth, with thick walls and 
small seed cells. Ability to ripen from the inside out, 
_ leaving the interior free from fiber, and its low acidity, 
makes Rutger’s an outstanding variety for canning.

One of our customers, Mr. E. J. 
Barnaby, Manchester, N. H., reports 
three Oxheart Tomatoes that weighed 
nine pounds, and sent along a photo- 
graph as proof. He sent an enthu- 
siastic letter about this variety of 
Tomato, and tells us that every seed 
he got from us came out 100 per 
cent.

Pride of the Market 
Very early, only a day or two later than Earliana, but 
considerably larger and of much superior quality. An 
extra-solid, beautiful scarlet tomato. Especially recom- 
mended for the Northern States and for growing on 
heavy sos. As a market and shipping variety it has 
no superior. 
Michigan State Forcing 
Developed at Michigan State College. In addition to 
being an ideal main-crop garden variety, it is an ideal 
variety for greenhouse and soilless agriculture, Its 
self-fertilizing characteristics insures a heavy setting 
of perfect globular-shaped fruits averaging 434 ounces 
each. The bright red fruit is firm, meaty and practi- 
cally free from blemishes. The thick outer wall of the 
fruit makes this variety unsurpassed for long-distance 
shipping, and it has wonderful keeping qualities. It 
may be allowed to ripen on the vines without loss to 
the grower. The grower who wants the best will make 
no mistake in planting Michigan State Forcing.

White Beauty Tomato 


Victor Tomato 
VICTOR This tomato is of the Bison type, but 
is larger and more productive, and 
only 4 to 6 days later. It was bred by Dr. Yaeger 
at Michigan State College and was introduced in 1941. 
It has the rare combination of fine points sought by 
growers for years. The vine is small and may be 
planted closer together than standard sorts (2x3 ft. is 
recommended), thus producing a much larger yield of 
early fruits to the acre. The fruits are not only extra 
early, but are borne in great abundance, and are 
so smooth, firm, solid and fine colored that they com- 
pare with the best later varieties. Fruits are bright 
red, average over 4% ounces each, and ripen all over 
with no green spots. A handsome tomato of excel- 
lent quality and a real money maker for the market 
gardener.
