TRIP-L-CROP 
Burgess’ Climbing Trip-L-Crop Tomato Seed is now 
coated with layers of beneficial and protective mate-

stages of growth. 
BIG YIELDS 
Burgess’ Climbing Trip-L-Crop Tomato is by far the most productive 
of all Tomatoes, often producing 2 to 3 bushels from one vine. The plants 
are of rank growth, sending out long runners capable of setting clusters 
of fruit at each joint. This feature is not found in ordinary varieties. 
Burgess’ Climbing TRIP-L-CROP. Introduced by us in 1937. This is a 
variety with many superior qualities. Vines grow rapidly to a height of 
10 to 18 feet (sometimes more than 20 feet) when grown on a trellis. A

as 3 lbs. The flesh is thick, meaty and ex- 
tremely mild. Fine for canning and slic-
