Cererr TOMATO rrr tees 
Culture. Start early tomato plants indoors, allowing 4 to 6 weeks to produce plants for setting out. Sow the seed in February or March in hotbeds or 
in shallow boxes in the house in rows 4 to 6 inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant into 3-inch pots 
or shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. Transplant in the open ground when all danger of frost is past 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Cultivate fre- 
quently. An ounce will produce about 3000 plants, enough for half an acre. 
SPECIAL EARLIANA 64-73 days 
A special selection of this variety which is larger than the old type of 
Earliana, has a thicker skin and ripens well up to the stem end. This improved 
stock is very productive and has fewer cracks. Pkt. 20c; ¥% oz. 45c; 0z. 75c; 
Ys |b. $2.50; 1b. $8.00. 

Rutgers 
VALIANT 70-80 days 
Coming between Earliana types and Marglobe and Rutgers, Valiant will 
yield a fine crop averaging 7 oz. per fruit where it can mature most of its 
crop before severe heat comes in July. It has done wonderfully well in New 
Jersey. Smooth, heavy, solid and of fine quality. Owing to its sparse vine 
growth, it is subject to sunburn in sections where early maturity is not possible. 
Pkt. 20c; Y2 oz. 40c; oz. 60c; % Ib. $1.75; Ib. $6.00. 
GROTHEN’S GLOBE (Certified) 66-75 days 
This is a very early maturing, high yielding variety. It was first introduced 
in Florida and used mostly as a green-wrap shipping variety, but is now popu- 
lar in many other sections and is adapted to home or market gardens. The 
plants are open growth with rather small foliage, requiring rich, deep, moist 
land for best results. Ripens to a beautiful deep scarlet color. Pkt. 20c; Y2 oz. 
40c; oz. 60c; 4 Ib. $1.75; Ib. $6.00. 
PRITCHARD (Certified) 
\ALEAMERICAY@S/SELECTION / Gold Medal 1933 
Pritchard was developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture by crossing 
Marglobe with Cooper's Special Self Topper. It combines the good qualities 
of both these varieties. The vines are distinctly bushy because of self-pruning or 
self-topping character. It has a heavier stem and coarser foliage than Mar- 
globe. The fruits mature very early, a week or 10 days earlier than Marglobe. 
They are large, smooth, globe-shaped and ripen unifermly to a very deep 
attractive red color both inside and out. It is a heavy producer and requires 
rich or liberally fertilized moist soil. Pkt. 20c; Y2 oz. 45c; oz. 75c; % Ib. $2.50; . 
Ib. $8.00. 
42 
67-76 days 
FIRESTEEL 60-70 days 
A very large fruited tomato, globe shaped and scarlet red in color. It is 
not affected by hot weather as much as other varieties and is very productive 
under these adverse conditions. The fruit is smooth, almost globular and very 
uniform; remarkably free from cracking at the stem end. Pkt. 20c; Yn oz. 45c; 
oz. 75c; % Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00. 
STOKESDALE (Certified) 66-75 days 
This variety is quite similar to Grothen’s Globe in time of maturity and vine 
growth, except that thesleaves are somewhat larger and heavier. The vines 
hold up better than Grothen’s but the fruit is smaller in size than either Groth- 
en’s Globe or Rutgers. Stokesdale does best on deep fertile land with plenty 
of moisture producing larger and better fruit. The fruit is bright scarlet in 
color and almost globe shaped. Pkt. 20c; Y2 oz. 45c¢; oz. 75c¢; V4 Ib. $2.50; 
Ib. $8.00, 
BOUNTY 60-70 days 
An early variety developed by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment 
Station. The fruits are scarlet in color, smooth, globular in shape and ripen 
uniformly with no dark green color around the stem. The vines are very small, 
fair foliage, although poor coverage because of prolific set. A very produc- 
tive variety. Pkt. 20c; ¥% oz. 45c; oz. 75c; Y% Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00. 
BREAK O’ DAY (Certified) 62-72 days 
This variety was introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in 1930. 
It is an early market strain, resistant to wilt and nail head rust. On account of 
being irregular in size, of poor color and slow in ripening, it is not as popular 
as some varieties developed by the Department. Pkt. 20c; 4% oz. 40c; oz. 65e; 
VY |b. $2.00; Ib. $6.50. 
RED CAP 62-72 days 
This variety was introduced by the New York State Agricultural Experiment 
Station. It is an early mid-season variety developed for earliness, productive- 
ness and smoothness of fruit. The plants are fairly compact and dense, unusually 
productive in Northern areas, hardy and vigorous. The fruits are uniformly 
deep red outside, smooth, very solid, slightly flattened globe shaped. An 
excellent variety for home, market garden or canning. Pkt. 20c; Y2 oz. 40c; 
oz. 60c; % Ib. $1.75; Ib. $6.00. 
MASTER MARGLOBE (Certified) 70-80 days 
The finest strain of Marglobe. Fruits deep scarlet, medium large, practically 
globular in shape. Very solid and free from cracks. The vines are similar to 
Marglobe. Pkt. 20c; ¥% oz. 40c; oz. 65c; % Ib. $2.00; Ib. $6.50. 
RUTGERS (Certified) 73-83 days 
This outstanding variety was developed by the New Jersey Agricultural 
Experiment Station. It is only a few days later than Marglobe, however, 
much more productive. The vines are heavy, vigorous, bushy growth, coarser 
foliage than Marglobe, medium dark green in color. Too much fertilizer may 
produce excessive foliage and late fruiting. The fruits are medium to large, 
shaped somewhat like Marglobe but flatter at the stem end. The color is deep 
or dark scarlet with a very large pulpy core of almost the same intense color 
as the outer surface of the fruit. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 40c; oz. 65; % Ib. $2.00; 
Ib. $6.50. 
RUTGERS (Certified) WOODRUFF’S SPECIAL STRAIN 73-83 days 
A fine selection of Rutgers which we have bred for greater uniformity of 
fruit and the same productiveness of the parent type. We feel sure that this 
SPECIAL STRAIN will satisfy even the most critical market gardeners or those 
Southern growers who desire a uniform size, productive, shipping variety. 
Pkt. 20c; Y2 oz. 45c; oz. 75c; V% Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00.
