_ *GILL’S ALL-PURPOSE — Our 1947 
introduction and originated by Gill Bros. 
This grand new tomato is just like its 
name implies and is fine for all the main 
purposes. Field trials indicate that this 
variety produces its main crop as early as 
Select Earliana. Ideal for canning or 
juice; also splendid for home gardens and 
market gardens. It is a cross between 
Wasatch Beauty and the Pepper Tomato 
and retains the best qualities of both. 
1946 was a poor year for tomatoes in 
many parts of the country and especially 
in the Portland, Oregon, region, but this 
variety out-yielded all others in our 
fields and trial grounds. It produces a 
heavy set of large, uniform fruit on 
self-terminate vines. The fruit are bright 
red, possessing the solid, deep red in- 
terior of the Pepper tomato and with its 
fine flavor. On account of its excellent 
flavor and solid meat it is ideal for 
slicing. Fruit free from large cores and 
of half globe shape as shown in the illus- 
tration. The blossom ends of the fruit 
are ideal and free from so-called “mon- 
key faces.” Vines vigorous and healthy 
and unusually resistant to disease. Fruit 
of large size, but not as large as the 
Wasatch Beauty. They pack good and 
stand shipment better than most sorts. 
We urge you to try this variety under 
your climate and growing conditions.

cropper of medium sized fruit. Pkt. 15c;

*NEW JUBILEE — Originated by W. 
Atlee Burpee and awarded Bronze Medal 
in 1943 all-America trials. Large globe- 
shaped fruit of deep orange color. The 
flesh is very solid, deep orange in color 
and of fine flavor. Good for slicing, can- 
ning or juice. This variety has attained 
rapid popularity. Selected seed of our 
own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c; 1% oz. 
75¢e; oz. $1.25; 14 Ib. $4.50. 
*SEATTLE BEST OF ALL— This 
strain has been developed by a Seattle 
market gardener who started his selec- 
tions from the Best of All greenhouse 
variety. It is larger and more productive 
than the original and is suited for either 
greenhouse or open field culture. The 
fruit, borne in clusters of 6 to 9, are very 
uniform and of bright scarlet red color. 
Exceedingly heavy yields. Seed of our 
own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 10e; 1% 07. 
$1.00; oz. $1.65; 14 Fb. $4.50; Ib, $12.50. 

Gill’s All-Purpose Tomato 
JOHN : BAER — Extra. early, large, 
bright scarlet fruit, smooth and firm. 
EARLY CHATHAM (Certified)—Extra 
early; bright red fruit of medium size 
on rather small plants. The branches 
terminate in dense clusters of fruit. The 
heavy production on small plants make 
it ideal for family gardens where space 
is limited. Pkt. 15c; %4 oz. 40c; oz. $1.25; 
14 Ib. $4.00. 
VALIANT — This variety is becoming 
very popular with market gardeners. A 
half-brother of Stokesdale, it develops 
a deep Marglobe type tomato and ripens 
within 3 days of Earliana. It is 4 days 
earlier and often 2 ounces heavier than 
Stokesdale. A valuabie tomato for market 
but not primarily adapted as a canner. 
Our sales have steadily increased on this 
variety. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 60c; 
oz. $1.00; 14 lb. $3.00; lb. $9.00. 
*IMPROVED PEPPER TOMATO—We 
have selected this for several seasons 
and now have heavy yields of large, 
smooth fruit, ideal for market. It is very 
resistant to rain cracks, practically every 
fruit is smooth, generally of near globe 
shape, and they are exceptionally solid, 
containing very little seed. The fruit is 
red with a pink tone and the sweetest of 
any we have tried, being unusually free 
of acid. Ideal for tomato juice and by far 
the best for slicing. Every year this 
variety has gained rapidly in popularity. 
Many home gardeners will have nothing 
else. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 35e; 
14 oz. 60c; oz. $1.00; 1%4 Ib. $3.50.
