*GILL’S ALL-PURPOSE — Our 1947 
introduction and originated by Gill Bros. 
This grand tomato is just like its name 
implies and is fine for all the-main pur- 
poses. Field trials indicate that this vari- 
ety 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. 
The blossom ends of the fruit are ideal 
and free from so-called ‘‘monkey faces.” 
Vines vigorous and healthy and unusu- 
ally resistant to disease. Fruit of large 
size, but not as large as the Wasatch 
Beauty. They pack well and stand ship- 
ment better than most sorts. Pkt. 15¢; 
4 oz. 80c; % oz. $1.50; oz. $2.35; 1%4 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. 40e; 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. 15c; % oz. 
75¢e; oz. $1.25; 1%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; 1% oz. 
$1.00; oz. $1.65; 14 bb. $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 we now have one of the 
best, extra large, smooth Earliana strain. 
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. Do not fertilize with any kind of 
manure in growing Earliana strains as it 
will produce rough fruit. Use 3-10-10 
fertilizer. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c; %4 oz. 25c; 
oz. 90c; 1% Ib. $2.75; Ib. $8.50.

Postpaid. Pkt. 25c; 1% oz. $1.25; % oz.

to)—For preserves, puree and solid pack

EARLY CHATHAM (Certified) —Extra 
early; bright red fruit of medium size 
on rather small plants. The branches 
terminate in dense clusters of fruit. The 
heavy production on small plants make 
it ideal for home gardens of limited space.
