Burgess’ Climbing Trip-L-Crop Tomato 

, We are fighting a war in which food crops are as mighty 
as the gun. Many growers have joined our fighting forces, 
so there can be no “increase in acreage this year. In fact, 
the acreage will probably be less, which makes it impor- 
tant to plant the most productive varieties and to give them 
the best of care. We consider it our duty to call to the at- 
tention of all planters the fact that Burgess’ Climbing 
Trip-L-Crop is by far the most productive Tomato we have 
ever seen. Burgess’ Climbing Trip-L-Crop is not an ex- 
periment. We have been growing and perfecting it for sev- 
eral years, and we did not offer the seed for sale until we 
were sure it was a variety with many superior qualities. 
We not only urge planters to grow Burgess’ Climbing 
Trip-L-Crop Tomato, but would like to have them report 
results, sending a photograph, if possible, to show what this 
grand variety has done for them. 
The following cash prizes will be given for the nine best 
photographs showing one or more plants of Burgess Climb- 
ing Trip-L-Crop Tomato:
