MICHIGAN GROWN TOMATO SEED IS THE BEST. 
SUGAR TOMATO 
REQUIRES LESS SUGAR 
The introducer claims this is 
the sweetest of all tomatoes, 
containing over 12% sugar. 
The ‘perfectly round fruits are 
1 to 1% inches in diameter, and 
are borne in long clusters, often 
two feet long. It yields tre- 
mendously and ripens early and 
continues to bear throughout 
the season. While the fruits 
are too small for canning, it is 
extremely valuable for salads, 
preserves, juice and dainty 
dishes. It is of Canadian origin, 
blight and disease resistant, 
and grows well in all parts of 
the United States. Its superb 
sweetness and attractive bril- 
liant scarlet color makes this 
one of the most promising of 
the new introductions. For the 
purposes mentioned above it is 
unequalled and we suggest try- 
ing it if- you-want something 
new and unusual. Pkt., 20c; 
Wf 02.5 75e.

Scarlet Topper (Pritchard) 
The last variety introduced by the late Dr. Pritch- 
ard, originator of Break O’Day and Marglobe, aud 
considered his best. Plants are sturdy, compact and 
leafy due to close-jointed stems, and are wilt resist- 
ant. Fruits are globe shaped, absolutely smooth, bril- 
liant red, and of uniform size and quality. Flesh is 
thick and seed cavities small, making for heavy, solid 
fruits. Seldom cracks, and yields of 15 tons and over 
per acre are common, Often produces 10 or more 
fruits in one cluster, all of the same size and ripen- 
ing together. 
A profitable market and canning variety, due to 
earliness, uniformity, and quality, and-an ideal home 
variety because of its self-pruning habit of growth, re- 
quiring less space per plant. Ripens only a few days 
after the first early varieties.

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. 
VICTO 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. 
GOLDEN QUEEN

than most of the red varieties.
