BURGESS’ CRACK-PROOF 
The Perfect Tomato 
The most outstanding Tomato introduction in years. Ag the name 
implies, Burgess’ Crack-Proof will not crack under average growing 
conditions and is practically free from cracking under the most 
adverse conditions. The truly perfect Tomato! 
Burgess’ Crack-Proof Tomato is a thrifty second-early variety, 
which bears over a long period. It bears large sub-globular to glob- 
ular scarlet fruits that are remarkably smooth and well finished from 
stem to blossom end. It has little or no objectionable cracks and 
skin blemishes that sometimes mar tomatoes and cause undue loss of 
the upper slice or two in preparation for 
salads and canning. 
The foliage of Burgess’ Crack-Proof is 
distinct from other large-fruited varieties 
and remains green throughout a long sea- 
son, permitting continuous heavy pickings 
of fruit until the plants are killed. by frost 
in the fall. It is medium early in maturity.
