22 Alneer’s Tomato Seed—Fresh—Tested—Reliable. ‘ 
OMATO 
Tomatoes do best in warm, moderately rich soil. Sow seeds early in 
March in hot bed or house, in shallow boxes. About May 15 to 20 in 
this latitude the plants should be set out in the open ground, in rows 
four feet apart each way. All seed we offer are from critically selected 
specimens of fruit and must prove of the greatest value to the planter. 
7 70 days. An all-purpose, main-crop hybrid outstanding for 
New Hybrid quality and rich flavor. A great producer; earlier and more pro- 
lific than Marglobe or Rutgers. Fruits are large, firm, thick walled, deep globular in 
shape, scarlet-red in color; flesh is meaty and excellent quality. A valuable tomato for 
the home garden, market grower, ‘“‘green wrap,” canning and long-distance shipping. 
Pkt. 35c. 
Firesteel 60 days. A small vine, large fruited tomato that is early, smooth, red 
through, of semi-acid flavor. Earlier than Earliana, less subject to 
cracking, with bush about 18 inches in diameter, but having sufficient foliage to prevent 
scalding of the fruit. For short, dry seasons and general adverse weather conditions, 
_ there is nothing that we have had that will equal it. It produces fruit when most others 
fail and can be relied on to set fruit when other types are dropping their blossoms.

Northern States, Canada, as well as dry and mountain areas. Fruits are 
scarlet, average 6 ozs. in weight, semi-globular, smooth and remarkably. free from 
stem-end cracks. Plants are small, short, and may be set as close as 2 ft. apart in the

Firesteel Valiant 65 days. This tomato has the rare combination of fine points sought by 
breeders for years—extra early fruit, borne in great abundance, but so 
smooth; firm, solid and fine colored that it compares well with many later varieties in 
this respect. This variety ripens large clusters of fruit when the other extra early kinds 
have only one or two ripe fruits. The fruits are good size (average over 4% oz.) bright 
red all over, smooth and handsome and with no green spots. They are firm and solid and 
of excellent quality. Pkt. 10c, Y2 oz. 50c; 1 oz. 90c; % Ib. $2.50; 1 lb. $8.00.

~ 70 days. As a result of the extensive 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper experiments conducted by the U. S. 
Dept. of ‘Agriculture in their quest for a perfect disease, wilt and rust resisting to- 
mato, several fine varieties have been developed; but, it is believed that this, their 
newest introduction is the most perfect sort yet produced. An extra-early, large 
smooth, and extremely solid Tomato of an intense scarlet color. Most productive and 
very attractive. Of a solidity that is truly remarkable, with very small seed pockets 
and no core. Its productiveness, particularly on rich soil, is amazing, and individual 
plants will bear 70 to 80 fruits each. It will yield 15 tons and more per acre. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; % Ib. $1.25; 4 Ib. $2.25; lb. $4.00. 
Marglobe 73 days. Introduced by the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, but our 
strain has been bred to obtain nearly 100 per cent of perfectly 
shaped fruits, slightly deeper from stem to blossom end than it is thick from side to 
side. This means small loss from blossom end sear and from “flats.” The fruit is 
deep scarlet in color, unusually heavy and firm. The interior has exceptionally 
small seed cavities. It is resistant to Fusarium wilt and nailhead rust. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 45c; 4 Ib. $1.25; lb. $4.00.

bright red, heavy walls and small cells. Most valuable for canning and juice. Vine
