875 PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER. Also called Pritchard. These tomatoes 
are medium to large in size, round, thick 
of flesh, firm and with small seed cavities. The color is a brilliant red throughout coloring right 
up to the top without any hard green spots. It is quite resistant to ‘‘cracking.”’ 
Scarlet Topper is free from acidity and of exceptionally fine quality, and is one of the best 
kinds for home canning we know. In season the fruit ripens only a few days later than the early 
kinds, such as Bonny Best and John Baer. This is a very heavy yielding variety, consistently 

producing large crops of the finest fruit. 
Excellent for both home gardens and market growers especially on highly fertile soil, as the 
“self-topping’ habit prevents excessive growth of vines. 
N. Y. State Certified Seed. Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c; 144 Lb. $2.25. 
885 RUTGERS. Harris’ Northern Grown Strain. We consider this the finest main crop 
- tomato grown today. The fruit is large and round, firm and solid and colors 
a beautiful deep red all through the fruit. The quality is superb having the most delicious flavor 

of any kind we know. See photo and full description on page 4.

“Our Rutgers tomatoes were simply fine. My husband inspected the picture of yours in the cata- 
logue [See page 4| and says you have nothing on us. Some clusters had as many as 18 ripe ones, 
others mostly twelve and fifteen to the cluster .

Harvesting Certified Rutgers Tomatoes on our Farm 
in this crop, the boys could stand in one place and pick 
a full basket of perfect fruit without moving. 
870 MARGLOBE. Blight Resistant. Main Cropper. The tomatoes 
are large, globe shaped, smooth, color well all over and are of deep red 
color. The vines are vigorous and resist blight well even in wet weather. 
It is a medium late or main crop variety, coming on after John Baer 
and Bonny Best. It is so large, smooth and handsome that it is ex- 
cellent for market, canning or any other purpose.

872 PAN AMERICAN. Resistant Large Fruited Marglobe Type. 
This new main crop tomato developed by the United States Department 
of Agriculture is completely resistant to fusarium wilt, and has proved 
to be a desirable home and market variety where the seasons are 
fairly long. 
The fruits carry the deep globe shape of Marglobe and are so uniform 
that we find practically no small fruits in our crops, even late in the 
season. The color is bright scarlet and they ripen evenly to the stem. 
The flesh is firm, meaty and solid. 
Pan American has large robust plants producing enormous yields of 
fine fruit about the same time as Marglobe and Rutgers. It is an excel- 
lent variety to prolong the season as the fruit remains firm and delicious 
long after earlier varieties have become soft and watery.

Yellow- Orange Tomatoes 
862 GOLDEN JUBILEE. (New.) The Best Orange or Yellow 
Tomato. At last we can offer a yellow- 
orange tomato that compares in size, smoothness and fine quality with 
the best of the red varieties. Golden Jubilee is much like Rutgers, 
ripening about the same time, and has beautiful deep round fruit of 
bright golden orange color. The interiors are exceptionally solid and 
meaty, and they have a fine delicious flavor, very mild and free of 
acidity. Some people prefer them to the red, and they are always most 
attractive sliced together in a salad. 
This new variety is entirely different from any other yellow or orange 
kind and is much superior to all of them. We recommend it highly, and 
are pleased to offer seed of our own growing.

.. The best we have ever eaten.

Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper 
Deep scarlet fruit of finest quality. 
865 ITALIAN RED PEAR (Pomo d’oro a Pero). This tomato is most 
prized by the Italian people and many others for making “‘tomato 
paste.’ It is also used extensively for canning. These tomatoes canned 
whole with a few leaves of Basil (see page 19) make a delightful change 
from ordinary canned tomatoes. 
The fruit is very solid with thick walls, and deep red in color through- 
out. It is true pear shape but three or four times as large as the ordinary 
small red pear tomatoes. Borne in clusters of 4 to 7 fruits on strong vines. 
N. Y. State Certified Seed. Pkt. 15c; 4% Oz. 45c; Oz. 85c; 144 Lh. $2.45. 
869 LARGE ITALIAN PLUM or King Humbert. This is the same type 
of tomato as Italian Red Pear, but is plum shaped and therefore 
preferred by many growers. The walls are thick and firm and the color 
is a fine deep red, ripening evenly right up to the stem. The vines are 
husky and very prolific and the fruit is of ideal size for canning whole. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 35c; Oz. 65c; 14 Lb. $2.00. 
Pink or Crimson Varieties 
859 EARLY DETROIT. The best early crimson or “pink”’ tomato. The 
fruit is of good size, globe shaped, extremely smooth and well colored. 
It is medium early and very prolific. 
Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 35c; Oz. 65c; 4 Lb. $2.00. 
855 DWARF CHAMPION. The vines are stocky and do not spread 
like other kinds. Fruit is of medium size, smooth and of an attractive 
pink or purplish color. Ripens medium early and is used considerably 
in home gardens. 
» Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c; 4% Lb. $2.30. 
874 PONDEROSA. Very Large. A late variety but with very large 
fruit that is more solid and “meaty” than any other kind. The toma- 
toes are of huge size, usually somewhat rough in shape, but of ex- 
cellent quality being almost completely free of acidity. The color is a 
deep pink and the quality is so mild and fine that many people prefer 
them even to the best red tomatoes. This is a late variety but normally 
ripens a good lot of fruit even in our Northern climate and the fruit 
holds up very well in longer seasons.
