At least a ° “night temperature is re- 
quired to make “tomato blooms set much 
fruit and when the temperature gets as low 
as 50° they will not set at all. BLOSSOM- 
SET sprayed on the blooms when they first 
start to open will make them set at low 
temperatures and, will, therefore, produce 
earlier and more fruit that will be prac- 
tically seedless. This should be particularly 
interesting to growers in high altitudes and 
cool climates. BLOSSOM-SET really pro- 
duces results and is well worth the little 
time required to apply. (4 oz. 75¢) (pt.

IMPROVED COLOSSAL 
Largest of All Tomatoes 
99 days. Introduced by us in 1948. The 
Improved Colossal series are the largest of 
all tomatoes. The large spreading plants 
are well branched with heavy foliage, giving 
adequate fruit protection. The fruits are 
deep, but flat, and when well grown will 
average 14 oz., with some weighing as much 
as 3 lbs. The flesh is thick, meaty and ex- 
tremely mild. Fine for canning and slic- 
ing. Just think of thick, meaty slices of 
beautifully colored tomatoes up to 6 inches 
across ! 
Improved Colossal Crimson. This beau- 
tifully colored fruit is a natural for taking 
prizes at fairs. Choice gréenhouse plants 
for shipment April 1! to June { (cannot 
ship to Calif. or Miss.) only (12 for $1.00) 
(24 for $1.70) prepaid. 
Improved Colossal Golden. Equally as 
large as Crimson, and its deep golden color 
makes it a suitable companion. 
Improved Colossal Red. This brightly 
colored tomato is slightly smaller in cir- 
cumference than Crimson and Golden, but 
is deeper and, therefore equal to them in 
weight. 
Improved Colossal Yellow. Mildest flavor. 
It is also a little flatter, but is as broad as 
Crimson and Golden,

Burgess’ Climbing 
TRIP-L-CROP 
BIGGEST YIELDS—By Far! 
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 wiith 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 
trellis, however, is not necessary as it will outyield other varieties when 
grown in bush form. 
The beautiful, large crimson fruits average 3% in. across and 2% in. 
deep, with some as deep as 314 in. and as wide as 5 in. across. The fruits 
are solid, with meaty center surrounded by small seed cells which are 
separated by solid divisions, which makes the tomato unexcelled for both 
slicing and canning. It is free from blight and disease and drought re- 
sistant. 
Two. or three vines will produce enough fruit for an average family. 
It is not uncommon to pick more than two bushels of ripe tomatoes from 
one vine. The increasing demand for seed and the many letters we receive 
from satisfied customers more than substantiate all the claims we make 
for this wonderful Tomato. For big yields and tall vines start early and 
set out as soon as danger from frost is past. (Pkt. 25c¢) (Jumbo Pkt. 50c)

BURGESS' CRACK-PROOF 
The Perfect Tomato 
80 days. The most outstanding Tomato in- 
troduction in years. As the name implies, 
Burgess’ Crack-Proof will not crack under 
average growing conditions and is practically 
free from cracking under the most adverse con- 
ditions. The truly perfect Tomato! 
Burgess’ Crack-Proof Tomato. Introduced by 
us in 1945. <A thrifty second-early variety, 
which bears over a long period. It bears large 
sub-globular to globular scarlet fruits that are 
remarkably smooth and well finished from stem 
to blossom end. It has little or no objection- 
able cracks and skin blemishes that sometimes 
mar tomatoes and cause undue loss of the up- 
per slice or two in preparation for salads and 
canning. 
The foliage of Burgess’ Crack-Proof is dis- 
tinct from other large-fruited varieties and re- 
mains green throughout a long season, permit- 
ting continuous heavy pickings of fruit until 
the plants are killed by frost in the fall. (Pkt.
