EARLIANA (58 Days) 
Many new extra early varieties have been introduced in previous years, 
yet Earliana remains the preferred variety for early market in many states. 
Our strain is one of the earliest, very productive, with good average size, 
scarlet fruits. Postpaid: 4 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 80c; 14 Ib. $2.30; 1 lb. $6.50. 
FIVE CRITICAL DAYS—Whether each tomato blossom will set fruit depends on a 
period of five critical days. The tomato blossom is strictly self pollinated: that is, male 
and female parts are contained in each blossom. Pollination takes place at night, whereby 
temperature must not drop below 65 degrees. There must mot be excessive precipitation 
during this period nor excessive daytime heat to wither and damage the blossoma.

BREAK O’DAY (62 Days) 
Our strain is the red ripening type, differing from the original, having a 
yellowish cast. Very resistant to fusarium wilt and nail head spot. Matures 
extra early. Fruits are crack resistant, smooth and globular, attaining large 
average size. A fine stake tomato for early market. Does best in cool grow- 
ing seasons. Postpaid: 4 ez. 25c; 1 ez. 80c; 14 Ib. $2.30; 1 Ib. $6.50. 
VALIANT (62 Days) 
One of the best extra early market varieties. Fruits are smooth, deep 
round shape, firm and ripening to a scarlet red color. Vines have an open, 
sprawling habit of growth and do best when well fertilized and grown on 
fairly heavy soil. Our strain of Valiant has shown slightly more foliage cover- 
age than the original. The early yield is heavy, ripening in rapid successive 
pickings due to its open vine growth, which is valuable for northern states 
with moderate temperatures. Susceptible to early blight and anthracnose 
when grown on sandy soil; a spray or dust schedule is advisable to control 
these diseases. Postpaid: 4 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 80c; 4 Ib. $2.30; 1 Ib. $6.50. 
CLUSTER - MATO (55 Days) < < 
New Selectisn 
An extra early red tomato of our own 
selection for market. We offer a re-select- 
ed strain this year showing greater number 
of fruit settings in the first clusters, more 
uniform and slightly earlier. Extremely 
solid and meaty, large to medium in size, 
borne in generous successive clusters, as 
shown in photograph. Although slightly 
Hattened in the first setting, become glob- 
ular-shaped in the follow-clusters. The 
meaty interior, thick outer walls and tough 
skin resist cracking and bruising. Very mild 
in flavor, together with the juicy and meaty 
texture, presents a real table treat. Delight- 
fully smooth and free of blossom-end scars. Plants are very adaptable for 
staking and semi-open at ripening time. We attribute the extreme earliness 
to 1ts characteristic to blossom and pollinate in cooler temperatures than 
permissible with other extra early varieties. For maximum results. plant in 
a well drained, sandy loam soil and fertilize heavily. |
