*GILL’S ALL-PURPOSE— Our 1947 
introduction and originated by Gill Bros. 
This grand new tomato is just like its 
name implies and is fine for all the main 
purposes. Field trials indicate that this 
variety produces its main crop as early 
as Select Earliana. Ideal for canning or 
juice, also splendid for home gardens and 
market gardens. It is a cross between 
Wasatch Beauty and the Pepper tomato 
and retains the best qualities of both. 
Outstanding for yield, appearance, qual- 
ity, packing, disease resistance and 
flavor. It produces heavy yields of large, 
uniform fruit on self-terminate vines. 
The fruit is bright red, possessing the 
solid, deep red interior of the Pepper 
tomato and with its fine flavor. On ac- 
count of its excellent flavor and solid 
meat it is ideal for slicing. Fruit free 
from large cores and of half globe shape 
as shown in the illustration. The blos- 
som ends of the fruit are ideal and free 
from so-called ‘‘monkey faces.” Vines 
vigorous and healthy and unusually re- 
sistant to disease. Fruit of large size, but 
not as large as the Wasatch Beauty. They 
pack well and stand shipment better 
than most sorts. We urge you to try this 
variety. Pkt. 15c; 14 oz. 80c; % oz. $1.50; 
0Z. $2.35; 14 Ib. $6.50; Ib. $15.00. 
VICTOR—An extra early variety with 
self topping vines which are rather small 
and suited for home gardens. Heavy 
cropper of medium sized fruit. Pkt. 15c; 
% oz. 40c; oz. $1.25; %4 Ib. $4.00. 
* JUBILEE — Originated by W. Atlee 
Burpee and awarded Bronze Medal in 
1943 all-America trials. Large globe- 
shaped fruit of deep orange color. The 
flesh is very solid, deep orange in color 
and of fine flavor. Good for slicing, can- 
ning or juice. This variety has attained 
rapid popularity. Selected seed of our 
own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 15¢c; % oz. 
75c; oz. $1.25; %4 Ib. $4.00. 
“SEATTLE BEST OF ALL—This 
strain has been developed by a Seattle 
market gardener who started his selec- 
tions from the Best of All greenhouse 
variety. It is larger and more productive 
than the original and is suited for either 
greenhouse or open field culture. The 
fruit, borne in clusters of 6 to 9, are very 
uniform and of bright scarlet red color. 
Exceedingly heavy yields. Seed of our 
own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 
$1.00; oz. $1.65; 14 Ib. $4.50; Ib. $12.50. 
JOHN BAER—Extra early, large, 
bright scarlet fruit, smooth and firm. 
Extra heavy producer. Ideal for market. 
Tomato, Gill’s All-Purpose 
*GILL’S SELECTED EARLIANA—For 
years we have given personal selection 
to this strain and believe we now have 
the largest and smoothest Earliana to- 
mato yet offered. The fruit is of bright 
deep red color, rather thick from stem to 
blossom and unusually solid. Owing to 
the fact that it is a shy seeder we must 
ask more for the seed than other sorts. 
Do not confuse this with the ordinary 
strains of Earliana. Reports from large 
growers claim this is the best strain of 
Earliana they have tried. Also reports 
from hot climates indicate it is unusually 
successful, one grower picking continu- 
ously from July until November, storing 
green ones then for December supplies. 
This is made possible by a minimum of 
cracked fruits. Do not fertilize with any 
kind of manure in growing Earliana 
strains. It will produce rough fruit. Use 
3-10-10 fertilizer. Postpaid. Pkt. 10e; 
4 oz. 25¢; oz. 90c; %4 Ib. $2.75; Ib. $8.50.
