312—BRIMMER.—Lhis enormous tomato has won 
a host of friends in the South. If the vines are staked 
the fruit is even larger and runs smoother and more 
uniform in shape. The tomatoes are unusually large 
specimens, having been grown weighing two pounds. 
They are rather flat and curved and of a bright red 
color. The flesh is thick with small seed cavity. The 
flavor mild and free from acid. For the home garden 
and local market the Brimmer makes an excellent 
variety but it is too large for shipping or canning. 
Our strain of this seed is produced for us by the best 
tomato grower in America we believe and we have 
tested it in our trials for several years with ideal 
results. You will find Slate’s Brimmer tomato like 
all other Slate’s Seeds bred to produce results—not 
just to grow but to grow a better crop of finer vege- 
tables. It has required three generations to build our 
business and we have done it by growing better seeds.

ly flattened ends and a bright scarlet red color. The 
flesh is tender but firm and free from excess water.
