Up With Tomato Seed” 
When I was fourteen my father gave 
“Make and save all 
“You must learn how 
me an acre of land. 
you can,” he said. 
to make a dollar.” 
I planted tomatoes, but most of the 
crop died before harvest. From the Mary- 
land Experiment Station I learned Fu- 
sarium wilt had ruined my crop. The 
next spring I secured some wilt resistant 
tomato seed developed by the Station. 
My neighbors liked the new tomato va- 
riety. “Will you sell us seed?” they ask- 
ed. I did, and started in the seed bus- 
iness. Growing tomato seed paid my way 
thru the Maryland Agricultural College. 
I continued to farm with my father, 
growing more tomato seed. Orders began 
to come from distant states, and I started 
to print a catalog. Yes, all this business 
grew out of a single package of tomato 
seed. 
FIRESTEEL—62 days. Produces remarkably 
large fruits for a very early variety. Fire- 
steel sets very heavy crops in hot, dry weath- 
er when other varieties drop their blossoms.

small vine, and may be planted close in the 
row. 672—Pkt. 10c: 14 oz. 40c: oz. 75c: 14 
Ib. $2.25; 14, lb. $3.75; lb. $6.75.

is so much superior in size and quality to 
original Marglobe that the two cannot be 
compared. Resistant to fusarium wilt, and 
does well in all sections. Large, deep globe 
fruits, very smooth and exceptionally solid.

York Experiment Station. Called Longred

period. Outyields most varieties. Large, uni-

A Great Midwest Tomato - Grows Well Everywhere 
This new variety, developed by the Wisconsin Experiment Station is one of the best we 
have ever grown. 
It has vigor, earliness, high yield, pretty globe fruits, and real color. 
Wisconsin 55 was produced from crosses made with John Baer, Del Monte, Early Balti- 
more and Redskin. This double cross has produced a new variety of real merit. 
The fruits 
average much larger than John Baer, Bonny Best and Stokesdale. It has some wilt resistancs. 
The mature fruits are deep globe, firm, with small core, and quite free from growth cracks. 
One of the best for canning. 
Under Midwest conditions Wisconsin 55 begins to ripen in 70 to 80 days atter transplant- 
ing to the field. Vine growth is large, quite open, and bears profusely until frost.
