Culture. 

Millet’s Dakota 
MILLET'S DAKOTA. The hardiest, most 
drouth resistant early 
Tomato. Originated by the late John W. Millet 
of Bismarck, and introduced by us in 1918, it 
is as early as the earliest strain of Earliana. 
The fruit is medium sized, smooth, and rich 
deep scarlet, of high quality. Under unfavor- 
able conditions we believe it will outyield other 
varieties and we have been surprised at its 
amazing performances under irrigation. Pkt., 
10¢e; % 0z., 25c;3 0z., 45¢e; % Ib., $1.40, postpaid. 

GROUND CHERRY, HUSK or STRAWBERRY TO- 
MATO. Not a true Tomato, the round yellow 
fruits are half an inch in diameter, enclosed in 
thin paper-like husks. A heavy yielder, very 
sweet, and used mostly for pies and preserves. 
Pkt., 10e; Y% oz, 30e; 0oz., 50ce, postpaid. 

WONDERBERRY —GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY. 
Not a true Huckleberry, but belonging to the 
same family as do Tomatoes, Eggplant, and 
Pepper, this is very productive of round, nearly 
black fruits, but little smaller than a Concord 
Grape. These fruits when fully ripe make ex- 
elgg pies, preserves, and jam. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
v2Ve, 



Sow in hotbed or shallow boxes in the house in early 
Spring, allowing 8 to 10 weeks from sowing indoors to setting in open 
ground; when plants are large enough, transplant into hotbed or boxes 
and when all danger from frost is past transplant into open ground, 
about four feet apart each way. About 600 seeds to the packet. 



Will’s Early 
VICTOR 
Bronze Medal winner, All-America Se- 
lections for 1941. A fine contribu- 
tion by Dr. A. F. Yeager to Tomato 
Progress. Brought out at the Michi- 
gan State College. This is a cross 
between Allred and Break O’Day. In. 
Victor are combined the determinate 
or self-pruning habit of Allred and 
Bison, the earliness and uniform 
color of Allred, and the smoothness 
of Break O’Day. The somewhat flat- 
tened fruits are a desirable red in 
color, very fleshy and resist crack- 
ing. Market quality is very high 
and culls few. If you want earli- 
ness, high quality and yield, try Vic- 
tor. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 30c; 02., 50c; 



14 Ib., $1.65; 14 Ib., $3.00; 1 Ib., $5.50, postpaid. 
MANDAN EARLIANA, Developed for drouth resistance, 
quality and yield by the Bureau of 
Plant Industry, Division of Dry Land Agriculture, Northern 
Great Plains Field Station, Mandan, N, Dak. During dry 
weather this variety holds its fruit size and yield better than 
any other sort. Early, bright scarlet in color, and very meaty, 
we recommend this variety for the Great Plains. Pkt., 10c; 
YZ On, 35e3 02., 60e; % Ib., $2.00, postpaid. 

Orange King 
Strawberry or Ground Cherry _ ORANGE KING. For colored picture see inside front 
cover. A midseason bright orange Tomato devel- 
oped by Dr. A. F. Yeager, now of the University 
of New Hampshire. A heavy yielder, the fruits 
are a little larger than those of Victor. The in- 
terior color is also a bright orange, much more 
attractive than ordinary yellow Tomatoes, and 
the juice is much the color of orange juice. Tests 
indicate a higher vitamin content than that of 
red varieties. Pkt., 15e. 
JOHN BAER. Slightly earlier than Bonny Best, a | 
heavy yielder of smooth, firm, medium sized, flat- 
tened globe shaped, scarlet fruits. Pkt., Se; oz, 
35e3; % Ib., $1.00, postpaid. 
MARGLOBE. An all-purpose, midseason Tomato de- 
veloped by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
The fruits are medium large, nearly globular, 
smooth and solid. This variety is resistant to 
wilt. Pkt., 8c; oz., 35e; %4 Ib., $1.00, postpaid.
