TINY TIM 
The Window-Box Tomato 
(Ripens 45 Days From Plant Setting) 
Tiny Tim Tomato plants are dwarf and compact, 
growing to a height of 6 to 8 inches and only about 
14 inches across. It is the earliest of all tomatoes 
and is loaded with clusters of bright red fruit that 
are nearly round and will average % inch across. 
Even though the fruits are small, they are fine fla- 
vored and will give you ripe tomatoes before other 
home-grown varieties are available and when shipped- 
in tomatoes are so expensive. 
Tiny Tim is very colorful when potted or planted 
in window boxes. The fruits cling to the stems well 
and are ornamental as well as useful in salads -or 
for preserving. 
Most everyone will have space for a few plants of 
this two-purpose tomato. 
BONNY BEST Lone? Sein 
Our select Market Strain of Bonny Best is the fin- 
est on the market, being earlier, larger and more 
productive than Standard Strains. The smooth, scar- 
let fruit is practically free from cracks and of fine 
flavor. Fruits average 5 ounces and are about a week 
later than our Special Earliana. 
Rutger's Wilt-Resistant : 
A main crop Tomato developed at the New Jersey 
Agricultural Experiment Station. Produces a large 
plant with an abundance of foliage to protect the 
fruit from sunscald. The fruits are medium to large, 
similar in shape to Marglobe, but more flattened at 
the stem end; bright red, smooth, with thick walis 
and small seed cells. Ability to ripen from the in- 
side out, leaving the. interior free from fiber, makes 
Rutger’s an outstanding variety for canning, juice 
and catsup. The leading variety for green-wrap ship- 



Sugar 
( 
claims this is the 
sweetest of all to- 
matoes, 
over 12% sugar. The 
perfectly round fruiis 
are 1 to 1% inches in 
diameter, and are 
borne in long clusters, 
containing 
often 18 inches long. 
It yields tremendously 
and ripens early and 
eontinues to bear 
throughout the sea- 
son. While the fruits 
are too small for can- 
ning, it is extremely 
valuable for salads, 
preserves, juice and 
dainty dishes. Try 
them on the relish 
plate — they are de- 
licious and attractive 
when served with 
“olives and pickles. It 
is of Canadian origin, — 
blight and disease re- 
sistant, and grows 
well in all parts of 
the United States. Its” 
superb sweetness and — 
attractive brilliant 
scarlet color makes 
this one of the most 
promising of the new 
introductions, 
Earliana Special 
Our select Market Growers’ Strain is without question the 
choicest stock of Earliana on the market. 
It is earlier, more 
productive and more uniform than other strains of Earliana. — 
Market and home gardeners will find nothing better for an 

ping. 
VICTOR 
This tomato is of the Bison type, 
but is larger and more productive, and 
only a few days later. It was bred by 
Dr. Yaeger at Michigan State College 
and was introduced in 1941. It has 
the rare combination of fine points 
sought by growers for years. The vine 
is small and may be planted closer to- 
gether than standard sorts (2x3 ft. is 
recommended), thus producing a much 
larger yield of early fruits to the acre. 
The fruits are not only extra early, but 
are borne in great abundance, and are 
so smooth, firm, solid and fine colored 
that they compare with the best later 
varieties. Fruits are bright red, aver- 
age over 41% ounces each, and ripen 
all over with no green spots. A hand- 
some tomato of excellent quality and 
a real money maker for the market 
gardener.

PRITCHARD (Scarlet Topper) 
The last variety introduced by the late Dr. Pritchard, originator of 
Break O’Day and Marglobe, and considered his best. Plants are 
sturdy, compact and leafy due to close-jointed stems, and are wilt — 
resistant. Fruits are globe shaped, absolutely smooth, brilliant red, 
and of uniform sizé and quality. Flesh is thick and seed cavities 
small, making for heavy, solid fruits. A profitable mafket and can-_ 
ning variety, due to earliness, uniformity, and qu&lity, and an ideal — 
home variety because of its self-pruning habit of growth. Bipens a 
few days earlier than Marglobe.

ested in this wilt-resistant strain ‘of the old reliable Stone. Large,

very meaty and solid, free from cracks or other irregularities, and 
noted for their exceilent long-keeping qualities. 
JOHN BAER Popular early variety. Usually ripens in about 
90 days on our Michigan farms. Fruits nearly 
round, uniform in shape, smooth, and without core. An excellent 
shipper and one of the most productive.

ity of the red and pink > 
varieties. The large up- 
right plants yield
