Tomatoes for Juice, Soup or Good Eating 
Everyone likes a good tomato and every gar- 
den should have at least a dozen hills of toma- 
toes. They may take a little more work than 
some other vegetables, but.the occasional hoeing 
needed is well repaid by the constant supply of 
delicious fresh fruit all summer long. When the 
first frost comes in the fall, there are usually a 
number of green tomatoes left on the vines. 
These make an excellent pickle which will be 
relished the whole winter. We pay special 
attention to raising tomato plants for the home 
garden. 

PEARSON 
PEARSON—An early main-crop, scar- 
let fruited variety, having a com- 
pact self-topping vine. Like other 
determinate types the cluster of 
fruit set close together on the 
branch with only one or two leaves 
between clusters. The tomato is a 
slightly flattened globe-shape, very 
smooth, witha tough skin which 
shows practically no cracking. 
Yields are very heavy and the size 
is good when grown with proper 
soil fertility. Owing to its tough 
skin it is entirely possible that Pear- 
son fruits for long distance shipping 
may be allowed to reach the pink 
stage of maturity before being 
picked, instead of harvested when 
mature-green—thus the consumer 
would be provided with a product 
of higher quality. Acre yields of 
thirty tons have been recorded in 
Indiana and California. 
SPARKS" EARLIANA—Coming: into the 
market before any other sort, it 
commands top prices. The fruits 
are solid, uniform in shape, and of a 
rich bright-red color. The tomatoes 
are produced in clusters, and gener- 
ally can all be gathered in about 
three weeks from the time the first 
fruits ripen. 
MARGLOBE—This tomato is a perfect- 
ly globe-shaped tomato of the most 
beautiful red color. It bears an 
abundant crop of good sized fruit 
which ripens well up to the stem. It 
is a second early sort and has 
proven to be disease resistant in the 
section where tomato diseases are 
most prevalent. 
FRUITONE 
For best set of tomato blos- 
soms and a larger crop, spray 
blossoms once a week for the 
first four weeks after blooming 
starts. If a stronger solution is 
used for the spray, most of the 
tomatoes will be seedless.

CHALK'S EARLY JEWEL—One of the 
best early tomatoes yet introduced. 
The vines are vigorous and very 
productive. Fruits deep scarlet red, 
nearly round or somewhat flattened, 
smooth, of large size and most excel- 
lent quality. They ripen very early, 
and the pickings continue through a 
long season. 
GULFSTATE MARKET—Its many excel- 
lent qualities make it a very desir- 
able sort for the home gardener or 
the grower for local markets. Fruits 
medium to large, round or globe 
shaped, show but little depression 
about stem and are smooth and free 
from cracks. Color, deep purplish 
pink, ripening well about the stem. 
RUTGER'S 
er and-inner walls of solid meat, 
with very small seed cavity. It is 
searlet-red color, globe shaped, re- 
sembling Marglobe. Ripens first in 
the center of the fruit, so that when 
red on the outside the tomatoes are 
ripe all through. 
DWARF CHAMPION—The most popu- 
lar dwarf variety in cultivation. The 
stocky, sturdy plants are of upright 
growth, requiring no support. The 
purplish red fruit begins to ripen 
early and is produced throughout 
the season. 
JOHN BAER—The seed offered here 
has been carefully bred and vine se- 
lected. Has small seed cavity, the 
fruit is medium size, smooth and 
firm and of beautiful glossy red col- 
or. The vines are sturdy and pro- 
duce the fruit well- above the 
ground. Early and prolific. 
PONDEROSA—Largest fruited tomato 
in cultivation, single fruits often 
weighing from 2 to 4 pounds and 
measuring 18 inches in circumfer- 
ence. It is solid and meaty to the 
heart and has small seed cavities. 
For this reason selected seed of this 
variety will always be scarce. Fine 
for slicing and of excellent flavor. 
NEW STONE—It is a remarkable yield- 
er, very firm and of a handsome, 
bright red eolor. It is of excellent 
shape with very smooth skin, never 
cracking, and free from green core. 
JUBILEE—72 days. Fruits are bright 
golden orange, thick flesh with few 
seeds. Attractive when sliced.

BREAK O'DAY—The variety is a cross 
between the Marglobe and Marvana, 
possessing the disease-resisting 
quality in both to a very marked de- 
gree. In size, color, shape and solid- 
ity the fruit is very much like Mar- 
globe but matures from 10 to 12 
days earlier. It produces a very 
heavy plant and from a standpoint 
of yield is one of the most prolific 
varieties ever produced. The fruit 
is globe-shaped and of a beautiful 
deep scarlet color, and is unusually 
meaty, producing very few seeds. 
PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPER—It 
is early, fruits large, smooth, meaty, 
very red, globular. Vines medium, 
dense, erect, self-topping and very 
prolific. 
It is an excellent canner and it 
ripens well up to the stem end. It 
has a tendency to set a rather large 
number of fruits, therefore requires 
either a naturally fertile soil or one 
well fertilized in order to size up the 
fruit properly and produce maxi- 
mum quantity of fruit per vine. 
STOKESDALE—A new extra early scar- 
let fruited sort with remarkably 
solid interior, ripening from the in- 
side outward. Resembles Marglobe 
in size and shape, but about 10 days 
earlier. 
BEEFSTEAK—The fruit grows very 
large and very smooth. It is oval in 
shape rather than round like Stone. 
It is very solid and keeps well on the 
vines after ripening; has rather few 
seeds and ripens all over and 
through at one time. The color is 
clear, deep red. 
YELLOW PONDEROSA—A main crop, 
yellow-fruited variety. Fruit is 
large, rough and flattened in shape; 
set in clusters of 3 to 5. Vine makes 
a medium, rather open growth and 
shows good wilt resistance. 
RED CHERRY— Used whole for palads 
and preserving. 
YELLOW PEAR—Used whole for salads 
and preserving. 
OXHEART—115 days. A late large 
fruited variety of distinct appear- 
ance and perfect quality. Heart- 
shaped, rosy pink, and very solid 
fleshed, with few seeds. Mildly acid 
and of pleasing flavor.
