ah 
Culture. Sow in hotbed or shallow boxes in the house in early 
Spring, allowing 8 to 10 weeks from sowing indoors to setting in open 
ground; when plants are large enough, transplant into hotbed or boxes 
and when all danger from frost is past transplant into open ground, 
about four feet apart each way. 


FIRESTEEL. An early variety that has proven 
very productive under adverse conditions. The 
fruit is large, smooth and uniformly globe 
shaped, scarlet red in color and remarkably 
free from stem end cracking. Pkt., 10c; % 
0Z., 35C; 0Z., 6GOc; 14 Ib., $2.00, postpaid. 
NEW HAMPSHIRE VICTOR. (See page 3 for pic- 
ture.) Developed by Dr. A. F. Yeager at the Uni- 
versity of New Hampshire. A cross of Allred and 
Marglobe, perhaps 2 or 3 days later than the orig- 
inal Victor, but an improvement in several re- 
spects, particularly disease resistance. Pkt., 15e; 
1% oz, 60c3 02z., $1.00, postpaid. 
MILLET'S DAKOTA. The hardiest, most drouth 
resistant early Tomato. 
Originated by. the late John W. Millet of Bismarck, 
and introduced by us in 1913, it is as early as the 
earliest strain of Earliana. The fruit is medium 
sized, smooth, and rich deep scarlet, of high qual- 
ity. Under unfavorable conditions we believe it 
will outyield other varieties and we have been 
surprised at-its amazing performances under irri- 
gation. Pkt., 10c; oz., 70c, postpaid, 
BONNY BEST. A popular second early sort, fine for 
both home and market garden. The good sited, 
bright scarlet Tomatoes are flattened globe shape 
and of very fine quality. Pkt., 10c; 42 0z., 30c; 0oz., 
50c3; % Ib., $1.80, postpaid. 


WONDERBERRY—GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY. 
Not a true Huckleberry, but belonging to the 
same family as do Tomatoes, Eggplant, and 
Pepper, this is very productive of round, nearly 
black fruits, but little smaller than a Concord 
Grape. These fruits when fully ripe make ex- 
cellent pies, preserves, and jam. Pkt., 10e3 oz., 
65e. 






OSCAR H. WILL & CO., BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA 

Bronze Medal winner, All-America Se- 
lections for 1941. A fine contribu- 
tion by Dr. A. F. Yeager to Tomato 
Progress. Brought out at the Michi- 
gan State College. This is a cross 
between Allred and Break O’Day. In 
Victor are combined the determinate 
or self-pruning habit of Allred and 
Bison, the earliness and uniform 
color of Allred, and the smoothness 
of Break O’Day. The somewhat flat- 
tened fruits are a desirable red in 
color, very fleshy and resist crack- 
ing. Market quality is very high 
and culls few. If you want earli- 
ness, high quality and yield, try Vic- 
tor. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 35c; 0z., 60C; 
14 Ib., $2.00, postpaid.

Earliana 
EARLIANA. (Standard Strain). One of the 
earliest varieties and very pro- 
ductive. The fruit is fair sized, round, very 
smooth and solid and produced in clusters in 
the center of the plant. The color is bright 
scarlet. Pkt., 10c; % 
0z., 40c;. 0z., 7Oc; 44 
Ib., $2.10; 1 Ib., $7.90, 
postpaid. 
ORANGE KING. A midseason bright orange To- 
mato developed by Dr. A. F. Yeager, now of 
the University of New Hampshire. A heavy 
yielder, the fruits are a little larger than those 
of Victor. The interior color is also a bright 
orange, much more attractive than ordinary 
yellow Tomatoes, and the juice is much the 
color of orange juice. Tests indicate a higher 
vitamin content than that of red varieties. 
Pkt., 15c; 46 02., 50c; 0z., 90c, postpaid. 
JOHN BAER. Slightly earlier than Bonny Best, 
a heavy yielder of smooth, firm, medium sized,

OZe, Doe $ % Ib., $1.00, postpaid, y!

developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
