*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, 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¢; 
14 oz. 80c; % oz. $1.50; oz. $2.35; 14 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. 15e; 
% oz. 40c; oz. $1.25; 1% Ib. $4.00. 
*“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. 15e; 4 oz. 25c; 
02. 90c; 4 Ib. $2.75; Ib. $8.50. 
PEAR TOMATO — Popular for pre- 
serves and matures heavy yields quite 
early. We offer both red and yellow. 
SAN MARZANO (Italian Paste Toma- 
to)—For preserves, puree and solid pack 
canning. Two celled fruit 34%” long and 
14%” thick. Color deep red; very little 
juice and mild in flavor. Pkt. 15¢; 4 oz. 
40c; oz. $1.25; 4 Ib. $3.75.

“IMPROVED PEPPER TOMATO—We 
have selected this for several seasons and 
now have heavy yields of large, smooth 
fruit, ideal for market. It is very resist- 
ant to rain cracks, practically every fruit 
is smooth, generally of near globe shape, 
and they are exceptionally solid, con- 
taining very little seed. The fruit is red 
with a pink tone and the sweetest of any 
we have tried, being unusually free from 
acid. Ideal for tomato juice and by far 
the best for slicing. Every year this 
variety has gained rapidly in popularity. 
Many home gardeners will have nothing 
else. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c; 4 oz. 35e; % oz. 
60c; oz. $1.00; 14 Ib. $3.50; Ib. $12.00. 
“IMPROVED WASATCH BEAUTY — 
In 1939, we introduced this remarkable 
temato and we have improved it each 
year. It is early in maturity and very 
heavy bearing. The branches terminate 
in a cluster of fruit, making a compact 
plant and more plants may be set per 
acre. The fruit is half globe shaped, firm 
and smooth; a beautiful red color, and 
borne in clusters of three to six good 
sized tomatoes. It is an especially good 
shipping and canning variety. Both mar- 
ket and home gardeners should try this 
outstanding tomato. One of the best pro- 
ducers for commercial canning. Postpaid. 
Pkt. 15c; 4 oz. 60c; 1% oz. $1.00; oz. $1.60; 
1% Ib. $4.00; Ib. $12.00. 
“PORTER TOMATO — A very sweet 
little tomato of pinkish red color. One 
tomato is a mouthful and can be eaten 
without getting juice on clothing. It is 
ideal for lunches and munching between 
meals. A heavy cropper and little subject 
to cracking. Round globe shape and very 
uniform. Diameter about %4 to 1 inch. 
Pkt. 15c; 4 0z. $1.00; oz. $2.50.
