Oxheart. 
441. OXHEART. (90 days.) Probably 
the largest and meatiest tomato in existence. 
Tt has a distinct oxheart shape with fruit of 
a pink color. Grown under favorable condi- 
tions will weigh nearly two pounds. Where a 
tomato of enormous size is wanted this is the 
variety to plant. We do not consider the quality 
equal to some of the smaller varieties although 
it is fine considering the immense size. PKt., 
15¢c; 2 pkts., 25c; % oz., 70c; oz., $1.25; % 
lb., $3.85, postpaid. 




Stokesdale. 
440. STOKESDALE. (73 days.) Devel- 
oped from an accidental cross which is believed 
to be of Bonny Best and Marglobe. Fruits aver- 
age 8 ounces which are similar to Bonny Best, 
but slightly earlier and on the average will be 
3 ounces heavier and much more solid. Color is 
a brilliant scarlet. Because of its earliness and 
excellent flavor and quality, it will prove very 
profitable for the market gardener. An _ early 
tomato with main crop qualities.. Pkt., 10c; % 
oz., 30c; oz., 50c; % Ib., $1.45, postpaid.

new early tomato which is proving

soil, Its outstanding feature is earli- 
ness, with quality, being about five 
days ahead of Stokesdale and Bonny 
Best. Large size and strong interior 
structure. Vine growth about equal 
to EKarliana and not heavy enough to 
protect fruit from burning in .continu-

“Your Stokesdale tomato seed was 
planted last year and was found un- 
usually good for this territory. In the 
fall the -plants remained green when 
other plants of different varieties had 
died down. They not only produced, 
but ripened smaller fruits after killing 
frosts in September. The plants are also 
free from .blight.”

Scarlet Dawn. 
426. SCARLET DAWN. (70 
days.) Wilt and rust resistant. Re- 
ceived Gold Medal Award in the 1935 
All-America Contest. It is a cross of 
Clark’s Early on Marglobe and is 
earlier in season than both parents. 
The vine is of medium growth, fairly 
open, very prolific. Fruits are medium 
large, globular, smooth and free from 
flat sides and puffiness. Bright scarlet 
ripening well to the stem. Exception- 
ally attractive. The picture shown 
above was taken of one cluster which 
contained 15 sound tomatoes, Some 
ripe, some just turning and _ others 
green but each free from cracks and 
sound, Pkt., 10c; %, 0z., 40c; 02., 75c;

believe this is the earliest tomato grown. Pkt., 10c; 4% 
0z., 40c; oz., 70c; % Ib., $2.10, postpaid. 
445, EARLY BALTIMORE. (73 days.) We have 
been watching with interest some of the new varieties of 
tomatoes being introduced by the various agricultural sta- 
tions. Early Baltimore appears to us as being one of 
the best of the new introductions. It is a second-early va- 
riety, resistant to fuscarian wilt. The vine is somewhat 
smaller than regular Baltimore and the leaves are finely 
cut. Fruits are oblong, smooth, bright red, solid with 
small core and shallow basin at stem end. It is excellent 
for market gardens and canning. In our trials it appears 
to be particularly adapted for Northwest growing condi- 
tions. especially during hot and dry weather. Pkt., 10c; 
Vy oz., 40c; oz., 75c; 14 1b., $2.20, postpaid.
