Tomatoes 
CULTURE—Plant seed in box inside or in hot- 
bed from February 15 to March 1. Transplant May 
10 to 20; rows 6 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet in rows; 
use light, loamy soil, well cultivated and fertilized. 
PRICES — Unless noted. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 
4 oz. 40c; oz. 65c; 4 Ib. $1.75; Ib. $6.50. 
NEW JUBILEE (See back cover)—Originated by 
W. Atlee Burpee and awarded Bronze Medal in 
1943 All-America trials. Large globe-shaped fruit 
of deep orange color. The flesh is very solid, deep 
orange in color and of fine flavor. Good for slic- 
ing, canning or juice. We grew it in our trial 
grounds and recommend it highly. Seed scarce. 
We offer packets only. Pkt. 15c. 
*SEATTLE BEST OF ALL—This strain has been 
developed by a Seattle market gardener who start- 
ed his selections from the Best of All greenhouse 
variety. It is larger and more productive than the 
original and is suited for either greenhouse or 
open field culture. The fruit, borne in clusters of 
6 to 9, are very uniform and of bright scarlet red 
color. We offer seed of our own growing. Pkt. 20c; 
1 oz. $1.00; 4 oz. $1.75; oz. $3.00. 
VALIANT—This variety is becoming very popu- 
lar with market gardeners. A _ half-brother of 
Stokesdale, it develops a deep Marglobe type 
tomato and ripens within 3 days of Earliana. It is 
4 days earlier and often 2 ounces larger than 
Stokesdale. A valuable tomato for market but not 
primarily adapted as a canner. Our sales have 
steadily increased on this variety. Pkt. 10c; 
4 oz. 65c; oz. $1.15; 4 Ib. $3.35; Ib. $10.00. 
*GILL’S SELECTED EARLIANA—For years we 
have given personal selection to this strain and 
believe we now have the largest and smoothest first 
early tomato yet offered. The fruit is of bright deep 
red color, rather thick from stem to blossom and 
unusually solid. Owing to the fact that it is a shy 
seeder we must ask more for the seed than other 
sorts. Do not confuse this with the ordinary strains 
of Earliana. Reports from the large growers elaim 
this is the best strain of Earliana they have tried. 
Also reports from hot climates indicate it is unusu- 
ally successful. One grower picking continuously 
from July until November; storing green ones then 
for December supplies. This is made possible by a 
minimum of cracked fruits. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 
4 oz. 25c; oz. 75c; 4 Ib. $2.25; Ib. $8.50. 
*HILL SELECTED EARLIANA—Saved from spe- 
cial plants marked in the field. Postpaid. Pkt. 25c; 
4 oz. $1.25; 4 oz. $2.25; oz. $4.00. 
*WASATCH BEAUTY (See back cover)—In 1939, 
we introduced this remarkable tomato. It is early 
in maturity and very heavy bearing. The branches 
terminate in a cluster of fruit making a compact 
plant and more plants may be set per acre. The 
fruit-is round, firm and smooth; of a beautiful 
red color, and borne in clusters of three to six 
good sized tomatoes. It is an especially good 
shipping and canning variety. Both market and 
home gardeners should try this outstanding new 
tomato. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 41 oz. 35c; 4% oz. 60c; 
oz. $1.00; 4 lb. $3.00; Ib. $10.00. 
THE PRITCHARD (Scarlet Topper)—In earliness 
similar to Break O’Day. Exterior and interior 
color intense scarlet. Fruit globe shaped and very 
solid. A tremendous cropper. 
STOKESDALE (Certified seed)—An outstanding 
variety, very popular with growers for local mar- 
kets and shipping. Matures along with Bonny 
Best. Bright red fruit that is smooth, uniform 
and 90% round. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 4% oz. 40c; 
oz. 70c; 4 Ib. $1.85; Ib. $7.00.

PLANT FALL GARDENS 
Many gardeners are enthusiastic in plant- 
ing a spring garden but overlook preparing 
for a supply of late vegetables for fall and 
winter. Why not plan to follow up the early 
crops with fall gardens. Our special bulletin 
on “Fall Gardens” will be sent free to you 
upon request. It tells you the best varieties 
and when to plant.
