Earliest of All 
j 50 days from transplating. My own origin- 
ation. Acknowledged by thousands of planters 
throughout the nation as the earliest large 
fruited, smooth, deep scarlet Tomato in culti- 
vation. This variety is bred to resist Fusarium 
Wilt. The large fruits are smooth, deep searlet 
in color, setting 5 to 7 in a single cluster. 
The flesh is firm with few seeds, making an 
ideal variety for Tomato Juice or early market. 
The vines are open in growth; therefore the 
fruit ripens evenly. Pkt., 25 cts.; % oz., 60 
cts.; 0z., $1.00; 1%4 lb., $3.00; % Ib., $5.00;

Department of Agriculture. combining earli- 
ness with the most valuable qualities of later

closely resembles that variety in most other 
respects. It has the same bright scarlet, 
smooth, deep globe-shaped, solid fruits. Pkt.,

769 Tomato 
Giant Oxheart 
Pride of Every Garden. 
Hnormous Size. Delightful 
Flavor. Among large fruit- 
ed tomatoes this variety is 
» unique. In form it is dis- 
, tinct, since it is almost ex- 
actly the shape of a heart 
as the name implies, and 
single fruits sometimes 
weigh more than two 
pounds. When sliced, it 
does not show the large 
seed compartments of 
other tomatoes, but looks 
more like tender steak. 
This firm red flesh is non- 
acid, but instead of being 
fiat-tasting it has a pleas- 
ing flavor. Matures in 87 
days. Pkt., 25 cts.; 4% 0z.,

and vigorous, giving full protection to the

crop tomato for home and market. Pkt., 15

782 Certified Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper 
66 days. The finest and latest introduction of 
the late Dr. Pritchard of the United States 
Department of Agriculture, originator of many 
outstanding Tomatoes, including Marglobe and 
Break O’Day. The fruits are of good size 
and both the interior and exterior color is a 
brilliant red. It is very similar to Marglobe, 
showing great solidity with no core and very 
small seed-pockets. It is enormously produc- 
tive when properly fertilized. Many plants 
bear a bushel of smooth solid fruits. Remark- 
ably early maturity recommends it to com- 
mercial growers and shippers. The vines are 
rugged and medium length, with abundant foli- 
age. Ideal all-purpose red tomato. Very smooth 
and uniform. Highly resistant to fusarium 
wilt. Pkt., 15 cts.; 4% oz., 45 cts.; 0z., 70 cts.;

Plant pathologists have now dis- 
covered that artificial polliniza- 
tion of Tomato and other vege- 
table blossoms is actually supe- 
rior to Nature’s method. Scien- 
tific reports indicate that as many © 
as 20% to 30% of the blossoms on ~ 
plants fail to set. With Fix you 
can get practically 100% yield —
