TOMATOES 
Everyone likes a good tomato and every gar- 
den should have at least a dozen hills of toma- 
toes. They may take a little more work than 
some other vegetables, but the occasional hoeing 
needed is well repaid by the constant supply of 
delicious fresh fruit all summer long. When the 
first frost comes in the fall, there are usually a 
number of green tomatoes left on the vines. 
These make an excellent pickle which will be 
relished the whole winter. We pay special 
attention to raising tomato plants for the home 
garden. 
PEARSON 
Pearson—75 days. An early main-crop, scarlet 
fruited variety, having a compact self-top- 
ping vine. The tomato is a slightly flattened 
globe-shape, very smooth, with a tough skin 
which shows practically no cracking. Yields 
are very heavy and the size is good when 
grown with proper soil fertility. 
Firesteel—An unusually fine red tomato weigh- 
ing from 12 to 14 ounces, borne in clusters 
of 3 to 5 that matures in 67 days. Fire- 
steel runs uniformly to large size tomatoes. 
Globe shape, smooth skin, of excellent flavor 
free from acidity, solid and meaty. Vine 
medium, vigorous, fairly open with medium 
foliage. Withstands hot and dry weather to 
a remarkable degree. 
Stokesdale—70 days. An early scarlet fruited 
variety maturing about 10 days earlier than 
Marglobe. Fruit has remarkably solid in- 
terior, ripening from the inside outward. 
Small seed cavity. 
Marglobe—This tomato is a perfectly globe- 
shaped tomato of the most beautiful red 
color. It bears an abundant crop of good sized 
fruit which ripens well up to the stem. It 
is a second early sort and has proven to be 
disease resistant in the section where tomato 
diseases are most prevalent. 
Break O'Day—The variety is a cross between 
the Marglobe and Marvana, possessing the 
disease-resisting quality in both to a very 
marked degree. In size, color, shape and 
solidity the fruit is very much like Marglobe 
but matures from 10 to 12 days earlier. It 
produces a very heavy plant and from a 
standpoint of yield is one of the most prolific 
varieties ever produced. The fruit is globe- 
shaped and of a beautiful deep scarlet color, 
and is unusually meaty, producing very few 
seeds. 
Chalk's Early Jewel—Fruits deep scarlet red, 
nearly round or somewhat flattened, smooth, 
of large size and most excellent quality. They 
ripen very early:

Dwarf Champion—The most popular dwarf va- 
riety in cultivation. The stocky, sturdy 
plants are of upright growth, requiring no 
support. Purplish red fruit. 
John Baer—70 days. Has small seed cavity, the 
fruit is medium size, smooth and firm and 
of beautiful glossy red color. The vines are 
sturdy and produce the fruit well above the 
ground. Early and prolific. 
Ponderosa—88 days. Largest fruited tomato 
' gn cultivation, single fruits often weighing 
from 2 to 4 pounds and measuring 18 inches 
in circumference. It is solid and meaty to 
the heart and has small seed cavities. Fine 
for slicing and of excellent flavor. 
New Stone—89 days. It is a remarkable yield- 
er, very firm and of a handsome, bright red 
color. 
Earliana—An early deep red tomato. Very pro- 
ductive. 66 days. Fruit about three inches 
in diameter with solid, thick flesh.

RUTGERS 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper—75 days. Beauti- 
ful red fruits, smooth, meaty, globular in 
shape and with an excellent flavor. Very pro- 
ductive, yields a heavy tonnage of large size 
tomatoes. Wilt resistant. Vines, medium 
dense, erect and self topping. 
Gulf. State Market—78 days. Its many excel- 
lent qualities make it a very desirable sort 
for the home gardener or the grower for lo- 
cal markets. Fruits medium to large, round 
or globe shaped, show but little depression 
about stem and are smooth and free from 
cracks. Color, deep purplish pink, ripening 
well about the stem. 
Rutger's—85 days. This tomato has thick out- 
er and inner walls of solid meat, with very 
small seed cavity. It is scarlet-red color, 
globe shaped, resembling Marglobe. Ripens 
first in the center of the fruit, so that when 
red on the outside the tomatoes are ripe all 
through. 
YELLOW PEAR 
Jubilee—The fruits are bright golden orange, 
globular, thick, meaty orange colored in- 
terior, flavor somewhat mild. 80 days. The 
large upright plants yield abundantly. 
Beefsteak—95 days. The fruit grows very large 
and very smooth. It is oval in shape rather 
than round like Stone. It is very solid. The 
color is clear, deep red. 
Yellow Ponderosa—86 days. A main crop, 
yellow-fruited variety. Fruit is large, rough 
and flattened in shape; set in clusters of 3 to 
5. Vine makes a medium, rather open 
growth and shows good wilt resistance. 
Red Cherry—75 days. Used whole for salads 
and preserving. 
Yellow Pear—Used whole for salads and pre- 
serving. 
Oxheart—95 days. A late large fruited variety. 
Heartshaped, rosy pink, and very solid 
MARGLOBE fleshed, with few seeds.
