‘“‘—The results from your Hybrid Tomato, Burpee’s Big Boy, were 
highly satisfactory in this area. 
ah wm 
“The germination last spring was very good, infact approximately = 
60,000 No. 1 plants were obtained from a pound of seed. The Big — 
Boy is a very vigorous grower giving good protection against sun — 
scalding and producing more crack-free, exceedingly large tomatoes wi, 
than any other variety to date. 
_ “The harvesting period is much longer than average, due to good | * 
size of the tomatoes produced on the end of the vine. It was also 
noticed that the finally abandoned Big Boy fields were escaping 
late blight that wiped out later plantings of other varieties. ... 
Marbury B. Clark, Harmans, Md. uf 
“—Your Burpee Hybrid tomatoes are spectacular. So far from 
my records I have picked a half a bushel per plant of some of the — 
most luscious, red ripe, meaty tomatoes that can be found. More- 
over the height of the tomato season isn’t here yet (June 28). I ex- 
pect a big year of profits. Any Burpee Hybrid, whether it’s corn, — 
" 
tomatoes, cucumber or any other vegetable, is tops with me. .. -
