Earliest of All 
50 days from transplanting. My own origin- 
atien. Acknowledged by thousands of planters 
throughout the nation as the earliest large | 
fruited, smooth, deep searlet Tomato in culti- | 
vation. This variety is bred to resist Fusarium 
Wilt. The large fruits are smooth, deep scarlet | 
in color, setting 5 to 7 in a single cluster. | 
The flesh is firm with few seeds, making an | 
ideal variety for Tomato Juice or early market, 
The vines are open in growth; therefore the 

793 Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper 
66 days. The finest and latest introduction of 
the late Dr. Pritchard of. the United States 
Department of Agriculture, originator of many 
outstanding Tomatoes, including Marglobe and 
Break O’Day. The fruits are of good size 
and both the interior and exterior color is a 
brilliant red. It is very similar to Marglobe, 
showing great solidity with no core and very 
small seed-pockets. It is enormously produc- 
tive when properly fertilized. Many plants 
bear a bushel of smooth solid fruits. Remark- 
ably early maturity recommends it to com- 
mercial growers and shippers, The vines are 
rugged and medium length, with abundant foli- 
age. Pkt., 10 cts., oz., 45 cts., % Ib. $1.25; 
1% Ib., $2.25; Ib., $4.25; 2 Ibs., $8.25, postpaid.

767 Break O’Day 
68 days. A very recent introduction by the 
Department of Agriculture. combining earli- 
| ness with the most valuable qualities of later 
types. Although substantially earlier than 
Marglobe, from which it was devoleped, it 
closely resembles that variety in most other 
respects. It has the same bright scarlet, 
smooth, deep globe-shaped, solid fruits. Pkt., 
15 cts.; 0z., 60 cts.; %4 lb., $1.60; 14% lb., $2.90; 
lb., $5.50; 2 lbs., $10.75, postpaid. 












790 A valuable berry which is con- 
tained in’a husk and is excellent 
for preserves and pies. When dried 
in sugar they make an excellent 
sweet fruit to put in cakes equal to 
figs, citron, raisins, ete. It is some- 
times called Strawberry Tomato. 
Pkt., 20 cts. VERY SCARCE.
