ANDREWS-BURRI SEED ANNUAL AND PRICE LIST 


SUPER BREAK O’DAY 
TOMATO 
One ounce will produce 2,000 plants; 4 ounces sufficient 
to transplant an acre. 
CULTURE—This delicious vegetable is one of the most 
important of all garden products. The seed should be 
sown in a hotbed about the first week in March, in 
drills 5 inches apart and % inch deep. When the plants 
are about 2 inches high, they should be set out 4 to 5 
inches apart in another hotbed, or removed into small 
pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. Whenever danger 
from freezing is past, the plants may be set out in the 
open ground. Sufficient plants for a small garden may 
be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or 
flower pot and placing it in a sunny window. 
BO-KAY CERTIFIED— (86 days from plant- 
setting time)—We are sincere in our belief 
that this tomato is an outstanding main crop 
variety. It is wilt resistant, and trials show it 
to be almost free from checks or cracks. It is a 
very heavy cropper, and is large and smooth 
with dark red color inside and out. Its strong, 
heavy foliage makes it a valuable variety for 
planting on light soil. Also good for greenhouse 
forcing and staked or field growing. 
SUPER BREAK O’DAY—This new Break 
O’Day must not be confused with the older 
type, as it has all the good qualities of the old 
with much more added. The vine has larger 
stems than the Break O’Day, and the foliage 
is much larger and more abundant. The vines 
stand up better than the Break O’Day and the 
additional foliage protects the fruit from sun 
scald. The fruits are globe shaped with no flat 
sides. Is as large as the Break O’Day with bet- 
ter outside color. The internal structure is very 
solid and meaty, and is a much darker red 
color than the older type. Ten to fifteen tons of 
fruit per acre is not an unusual yield for this 
variety. The crop matures about the same time 
as the old Break O’Day, which is about 68 days 
from setting plants desirable as field stake or 
for greenhouse growing. 
SUPER PURPLE KING—85 days—A second- 
early, smooth, pink-fruited variety. It is very 
similar to Globe. Fruits are globe-shaped, high- 
crowned, medium sized, and perfectly smooth; 
very solid and meaty, and has a thick skin. 
They set in clusters of from 5 to 7. Vines make 
a good growth and have rather heavy-cut fo- 
hage. Unsurpassed by any other shipping va- 
riety. Should be staked. Vines long, somewhat 
resistant to wilt. 
KING OF THE STAKERS—A many-purpose 
variety, extra early and smooth, medium 
large—Fruits are large, smooth, globe-shaped, 
bright scarlet and unusually free from cracks. 
Highly resistant to fusarium wilt. Very pro- 
ductive. We recommend it as a staked or un- 
staked tomato for fields in sections where to- 
matoes are subject to sun scald. As early as 
Earliana. Has normal vine coverage. Also very 
satisfactory as a greenhouse tomato, one grow- 
er reporting a 25% heavier yield than four 
other varieties. 
FIRESTEEL—A very large-fruited tomato, 
globe-shaped and scarlet red in color. It is not 
affected by hot weather as much as other va- 
rieties and is very productive. The fruit is 
smooth, and very uniform, remarkably free 
from cracking at the stem end. Maturity 60 to 
70 days. 
BONNY BEST—Unexcelled as a general pur- 
pose tomato; very valuable for forcing under 
glass and as a canning and shipping variety in 
northern sections. Fruits handsome; evenly 
colored bright deep scarlet-red; medium large; 
flattened globe-shape; smooth and firm. 
RUTGERS CERTIFIED—72 Days—A devel- 
opment introduced by the New Jersey Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station. Fruits medium to 
large, similar in shape to Marglobe but slightly 
more flattened. Highly recommended as a sec- 
ond early maturing variety for canning and to- 
mato juice. 
CARDINAL —A_ recent introduction highly recom- 
mended for canners and market gardeners. Strong dark 
green foliage. Fruits large, semi-globe shaped. Color 
rich scarlet with fine, deep interior color. Excellent 
flavor. A main crop variety maturing somewhat earlier 
than Stone: 
DWARF CHAMPION—Strictly dwarf and tree-like; 
requires no training to permit culture where space is 
limited. Fruits purplish-pink; flattened globe shape; 
medium size. 
DWARF STONE—Strictly dwarf and tree-like; re- 
quires no training to permit culture where space is 
limited. Fruits bright red, flattened globe shape, a trifle 
over medium size. 
SUPER EARLIANA—Particularly valuable for home 
garden and early market. Our strain is definitely supe- 
rior in earliness and quality. Fruits medium size; flat- 
tened globe shape; deep scarlet-red; firm and smooth.
