globular form, averages 7 to 8 Y% ozs. The shoulder is smooth, there 
is little or no depression at the stem end, and the scar is quite small 
—in other words, it is refined in spite of its size. The color is bright 
scarlet, uniform and attractive. Slice Burpee’s Table Talk Tomato

Sizes and weights of tomatoes 
given in our descriptions are for the general field-run of 
fruits. Customers often write us that they have produced toma- 
toes bigger than we state they will grow. This is not surprising 
for with special care, proper fertilizing, watering, pruning, 
staking, etc., they may easily do better than we claim. This 
might readily apply to other vegetables, as well as tomatoes.
