mer. Although it is the largest and most produc- 
tive of all tomatoes, this statement refers particu- 
; larly to the quality, flavor and meatiness of the 
fruits that are without the acidity so objectionable in some varieties. 
QUALITY 
—In the 
breeding of 
our Brimmer, 
quality is our 
first consider- 
ation. The fla- 
vor is deli- 
cious and 
they are so 
free of acid 
that they may 
be eaten with 
impunity by 
those to 
whom acid 
tomatoes 
bring distress.

dish. 
SIZE AND WEIGHT 
Brimmers measuring 15 to 16 inches in circumference, and weighing 2!/. pounds 
or more, are not at all unusual. They are all meat, have very few seeds and 
no core. 
PRODUCTIVENESS 
Although a few days later than the very early varieties, the enormous size and 
remarkable yield more than make up for the few days difference in earliness. 
The vines bear a tremendous load of fruits right up to frost, and the fruits are 
large till the end of the season. Brimmer not only makes big tomatoes, but a 
lot of them. 
HOW TO GROW BRIMMERS 
To make the biggest tomatoes and the largest yield, train to a single stem, tie 
the vines up to strong five-foot stakes; this gives them ample room for develop- 
ment, plenty of sunlight, holds them off the ground and enables the vines to 
continue to yield a constant supply right up to frost.

(110 Days)—Not only 
shaped like a _ beef 
heart, but when well 
grown is almost as 
large. Deep pink, 
about like Improved 
Ponderosa; has the 
same mild flavor and 
texture, but even fewer 
seeds; is in fact al- 
most seedless, fre- 
quently two inches of 
meat without a seed

home gardener. Pkt.

425, JUNE PINK TOMATO (95 Days) 
Sometimes called Pink Earliana—tThe earliest pink tomato. Except in 
color, it is very much like Spark's Earliana, almost as early, rather 
smoother, and has the advdntage of a longer fruiting season, the vines 
continuing to bear until frost. The fruit is medium size, uniform, smooth 
and attractive, without cracks and green cores. A first-class tomato 
for the earliest crop. A fine shipper. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 50c; '/4 Ib. $1.85; 
Ib. $7.00; 2-Ib. lots $6.75 per Ib.; 5-Ib. lots $6.50 per Ib.; 10-Ib. lots 
$6.25 per |b., postpaid. 
423. CHALK'S EARLY JEWEL (Bright Scarlet) (100 Days) 
Extra early, coming in very shortly after Spark's Earliana, but a heavier 
cropper, with fruits of large size and sweeter flavor; in quality and 
handsome appearance like the Stone, but distinctly earlier. Its hardy 
robust growth, admitting of earlier setting in the field; withstands cool 
weather. Bearing through a long season. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 35c; V4 Ib. 
$1.20; Ib. $4.50; 2-Ib. lots $4.25 per Ib.; 5-Ib. lots $4.00 per Ib.; 10-lb. 
lots $3.85 per |b., postpaid. 
424. BONNIE BEST (Scarlet) (100 Days) 
A few days later than Earliana, 
but more satis- 
factory. A vigo- 
rous grower and 
enormously pro- 
lific, with splen- 
did foliage which 
protects the in- 
tense scarlet 
fruits; ripens 
evenly to the 
24) stem. Remarkably 
uniform in size 
and _ smoothness.

435. GREATER BALTIMORE (Bright Scarlet) (110 Days)

from stem to blossom ends, firm and solid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35; 4 Ib. 
$1.10; Ib. $4.00; 2-Ib. lots $3.80 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $3.65 per Ib.; 10-Ib. 
lots $3.50 per |b., postpaid. 
422. SPARK'S EARLIANA (Bright Red) (90 Days) 
A real extra-early tomato, one that will make 
fruits of good size, solid and of good quality. 
Unfortunately, many Earliana 
stocks produce rough and irregu- 
lar fruits. Every year our 
planting stock is saved 
from plants that bear only 
smooth, extra early toma- 
toes, and will bear as ear- 
ly and as many fruits as 
any that can be had. Pkt.
