VALIANT TOMATO 
VALIANT 63 Days 
An extra early, large, smooth tomato that is fast replacing the Earliana 
types in many sections. Fruits large size, round and smooth, color brilliant 
scarlet, flesh firm and thick. Valiant has a sparse, open vine, but with proper 
feeding on heavier soils will develop almost normal coverage. Not recommend- 
ed as ~ cannery type. 
PERFECTION HYBRID (New) 65 Days 
This is an F2 or second generation hybrid. In our trials it has given the best 
all around performance of the Early Hybrid tomatoes. Outstanding for its 
smooth, crack free fruit. Deep globe of a beautiful scarlet red. Produces an 
abundant crop of meaty tomatoes of excellent flavor. 
TURNIP 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row, an ounce 150 feet, 2 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. For summer use, sow early in the spring in rows 1% to 2 feet apart. Plant seed 
about 14% inch deep and press the soil down firmly and smoothly. When the plants appear, apply 
tobacco dust liberally to prevent injury by flea beetles and root maggots. When the plants are 
an inch tall, thinning should be started and carried on as recommended for beets. For fall and 
winter use the seed may be planted as late as August. 
Early Purple Top Strap Leaved 45 Days 
A popular home and market garden variety. Tops small and erect. Roots flat, 
as large as 5 inches in diameter and half as thick, purplish red above and white 
below. Flesh clear white, fine grained, tender and mild. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE— Market Growers’ Strain 55 Days 
The standard Globe Turnip and by far the most popular with market gar- 
deners. Tops medium large, compact, cut-leaved. Roots smooth, globular, 5 to 
6 inches in diameter, bright purplish red above, white below. Flesh white, 
firm, fine grained and tender when young.
