BURGESS’ DISEASE-RESISTANT TOMATO SEED 
One ounce of Tomato seed will produce about 2,000 plants. 
Tomato seed growing i6 one of our specialties. 
Climatic conditions here in Michigan are condu- 
cive to freedom from disease, to the production of 
fruit instead of vine, and to early matur- 
ity. Our strains keep these tendencies to 
a marked degree when planted else- 
where. Our seed is also chemically 
treated against disease. A trial will con- 
vince you of the superiority of Burgess’ 
Tomato seed. 
BISON 
Bison is an extra early tomato, devel- 
oped at»the North Dakota Experiment ae 
Station. It is self-pruning or determinate ‘ 
in growth. In place of wasting its vital- 
ity in continuous branching, as do most 
other tomatoes, Bison grows a compact 
plant and puts all its energies into pro- 
ducing and ripening a heavy-and extra 
early crop of smooth, solid, meaty, me- ee 
dium sized red tomatoes. With the ex- : : 
ception of Early Chat- Bison

variety to be the earliest of all to- 
matoes. Its earliness, productiveness
