861 FIREBALL. Harris’ New Extra Early Tomato. 65 days. We de- 
veloped the new Fireball especially for growers of extra early market 
tomatoes. Ripening with the very earliest, it gives excellent crown sets 
of good-sized fruit, smooth globe-shaped and attractive, and continues 
to bear heavily. They ripen from pale green to bright red and are un- 
usually firm for an early type. Since the vines are very small and open, 
it is suggested only for your earliest crops. Mild flavor. Hot Water

892 VALNORTH (New.) An Early Tomato from Cornell. 67 days. Ex- 
cellent performances at Ithaca and with a number of market growers 
indicate that Valnorth under some conditions can rival the performance 
of our Early Hybrid, producing large, early yields without the expense 
of hybrid seed. Developed by Dr. H. M. Munger of Cornell, Valnorth 
has smooth globe shaped fruit of good quality, a little smaller than 
Valiant. Vigorous spreading vines. N. Y. State Certified Seed of our 
Own growing. Pkt. 15c; 44 Oz. 50c; Oz. 95c; 14 Lb. $2.70. 
871 MORETON HYBRID (New). (Photo on Front Cover) 
70 days. We are very proud of our new F, hybrid. It was developed 
here on Moreton Farm, and in many trials and crops it has appeared 
to be one of the best early tomatoes ever created. 
The fruit ripen very early, in season with Valiant, yet they have the 
large size and fine quality of the best later varieties. The big husky 
vines continue to produce tremendous clusters of fine tomatoes 
throughout the season. Large, slightly flattened and very solid, the 
attractive fruit color well up to the stem and their delicious flavor and 
firm meaty texture make them the best-tasting early tomatoes we 
know. Hot Water Treated Seed. Pkt. (About 50 seeds) 45c; 46 Oz. 
$2.50; 14 Oz. $4.75; 14 Oz. $9.00; 44 Oz. $17.00; Oz. $32.00. 
Vancross—Achieving great popularity. 
890 VICTOR. Extra Early. 67 days. Victor ripens large clusters of firm 
tomatoes very early in the season, and the good sized, bright red fruit 
have often been money makers on the early market. The vines are 
determinate and can be planted close (2x3 ft.) for larger yields of 
early fruit per acre. N. Y. Certified Seed—Hot Water Treated. 
Pkt. 15e; 144 Oz. 45c; Oz. 85c; 14 Lb. $2.50. 
857 EARLY WONDER. Large Early Yields. 68 days. Early Wonder 
is similar to Victor but seems a real improvement over it. Its plants 
are compact but more vigorous and have better foliage cover. In 
our crops, the yields have been heavier, and the fruit are larger and 
smoother. Uniform bright red color, firm-fleshed and good to eat.
