SEEDS SMALL PART OF COST 
Why prepare and cultivate a Victory gar- 
den with the cheapest seed? A few cents 
additional in cost of seed may spell the dif- 
ference between success and failure. Our 
vegetable seeds are high quality and suitable

use light, loamy soil, well cultivated and fertilized. 
PRICES—Unless noted are uniformly: Postpaid. 
Pkt. 10c; 4 oz. 40c; oz. 70c; % Ib. $1.90; lb. $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. This variety has attained 
rapid populuarity. We offer carefully selected 
seed of our own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c; 
4 oz. 90c; oz. $1.50. 
*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. Exceedingly heavy yields. We offer seed 
of cur own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c; 4 oz. $1.25; 
oz. $2.00; % Ib. $5.00; lb. $16.00. 
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. heavier than 
Stokesdale. A valuable tomato for market but not 
primarily adapted as a canner. Our sales have 
<teadily increased on this variety. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 
3 0z. 60c; oz. $1.00; 4 Ib. $3.00; Ib. $9.00. 
*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 claim 
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; 0z. 75c3; 4 lb. $2.25; Ib. $8.50. 
*HILL SELECTED EARLIANA—Saved from spe- 
cial plants marked in the field. Postpaid. EEG 25¢c3- 
4 oz. $1.25; 4% oz. $2.25; oz. $4.00.
