880 Pennheart Pkt., 15c; Y% 0z., 60c; 0z., $1.15; % 1b., $4.00 
(65 days.) Extra-Early Red Globe. Pennheart was developed by Dr. 
Charles Myers of the Pennsylvania State College. For earliness, bigger 
size, rich color, thick flesh, delicious flavor and heavy yield, it leads. The ~ 
plants are short, compact and cannot be staked but should be planted 
2 to 4 feet. We advise plenty of plant food for best results. Start seed 
indoors to get Tomatoes early. Seed crop short, so order early. 
891 Valiant Pkt., 10c; ¥ 02., 35c; 0z., 65c; Y% 1b., $2.00 
(New.) (65 days.) Large, extra-early Marglobe type, has taken the 
place of the old Earliana. The fruit is smooth, deep, nearly round in 
shape and of good interior structure. It colors up much better than 
Earliana, and early yields are very heavy: The vines are of spreading 
habit of growth. Advise fertilizing fairly heavily for best results. Valiant 
has proved a very popular and profitable variety for early market. 
Earliana 
We are no longer listing this old variety because Valiant and Bounty 
have taken its place. For growers who desire a large vine and big 
early fruit, we recommend Valiant.
