Porter’s Golden Globe 
Finest of the yellow tomatoes, and almost 
as hardy and drouth-resistant as Porter 
Tomato. In 1944, with only an inch of rain 
from May 27 to August 27, it produced an 
enormous crop. One year, in our Trial 
Grounds, on a red-clay hill, it gave a good 
yield, when so dry that most kinds died. A 
leading Horticulturist pronounces it the most 
drouth-resistant of all, except our “Porter- 
type” tomatoes. 
The bright yellow fruits are medium-sized, 
perfectly round, never wrinkled, and never 
crack, unless after a rain. The fruits are 
mild and sweet. Vines are short and close- 
jointed, and fairly covered with luscious “Balls 
of Gold.” The earliest of all tomatoes, except 
our Triumph.

Porter’s Triumph Tomato 
(Perfected Bison) 
When we started with Bison Tomato 15 years ago, we 
found it had 3 very fine qualities—Earliness, Heavy 
Yield, and Good Flavor, but it also had scme very bad 
qualities—fruits were flat, all sizes and shapes, cracked 
badly, and rotted in a few days. We told a group of 
Horticulturists that because of its good qualities we 
would get rid of the bad qualities, and make it the 
PERFECT Garden Tomato. They laughed at us, saying 
we couldn’t do it, but we HAVE done it, and we con- 
sider it a real triumph—hence the new name, Porter’s 
Triumph. 
We find Triumph the very earliest of all 
tomatoes, though it is large—many fruits 
weigh over a pound. It has very few seeds, 
flesh is firm and meaty, dark red all through. 
Fruits keep well, and are less inclined to 
crack and sun-scald than the Bison. It is sweet 
and “flavorful,” almost free of acid. Many 
people tell us they can eat it, while they can’t 
eat acidy kinds. 
We believe Porter’s Triumph is the hardiest 
of all large-fruited tomatoes. Most large 
kinds make an early crop, then bear but little 
the rest of the season, but Triumph puts on 
and matures fruits every day from the earliest 
’til frost, if conditions are at all right. Last 
year we grew them to almost perfection on a 
red-clay hill, without irrigation, and with no 
more than 6 inches of rain from January Ist 
until September 11th. 
We consider our new Triumph the IDEAL 
Tomato for the home garden, where a large- 
fruited kind is wanted, and could “fill a book” 
with good reports from our customers, who 
agree with us.

Summerset Tomato 
Mr. Leslie Hawthorne, Horticulturist at 
A&M Sub-Station 19, Winterhaven, Texas, 
worked many yeers to meke a sizeable tomato 
that bears all summer. When he had it ready 
to release, he wrote us; 
“You seem to have done more work with 
tomatoes than any other Texas seedsman, so 
we are glad to turn same over to you.” 
That is the greatest honor we have had in 
the 36 years we have tried to improve toma- 
toes. 


Our strain this year is much more uniform 
than we have sold in the past. Fruits are 
medium-sized dark red, good flavor, and have 
very few seed. It positively puts on and 
matures fruits all summer and fall, even the 
hottest, driest years.

Danmark Tomato 
Every year we think more of this unique 
tomato. Vines are short, and almost literally 
covered with deep red fruits “round as a ball,” 
solid, firm, and heavy. Dark red flesh, and 
being slightly acid makes it ideal for juice. 
It is early, drouth-resistant, and in our garden 
it bears all season.

B‘son Tomato 
Fruits are real large, dark red, solid, sweet, 
and make very few seeds. It is real early, 
and enormously productive. All that keeps 
Bison from being the ideal tomato for the 
home garden, in our opinion, is that the fruits 
are not uniform, it does not keep well after 
ripening, and like most large kinds, it is in- 
clined to crack.

Stokesdale Tomato 
In our trial grounds, this has proved to be 
one of the finest large tomatoes we have ever 
grown. Some horticulturists pronounce it the 
best of all large tomatoes, but we think our 
Porter’s Triumph is the best. Deep red fruits 
are real large, round and uniform, fine- 
flavored and firm.

Break O’Day Tomato 
Fruits are large, round, red, firm, solid, 
and have few seeds. It ripens as early as 
Earliana or June Pink, and fruits are larger, 
more uniform, firmer, keep longer, and do not 
crack or sun-Seald so badly. Vines are highly 
re-istant to blight, rust and other diseases.

Red Chief (Red Cloud) Tomato 
For years our three specials out-yielded 
all other kinds at the Iowa Park Experiment 
Station, where 69 or more kinds are tested 
every year, BUT—in 1945, a new kind from 
Nebraska even out-yielded ours. The same 
thing happened again in 1946. 
It is truly a fine tomate, earlv, heavy in yield, 
good flavor, and bears a long season. It re- 
sembles our Danmark, but fruits are nearly 
twice as big. We know many of our cus- 
tomers who think, like we do, that the Porter- 
type tomatoes are the best in the world will 
want to try this kind that beat ours.
