Macksville, Kansas 
We have been ordering different things from you for about 
twenty years and find everything satisfactory. My one Pixwell 
Gooseberry bush has grown so large, even with trimming it 
supplies us and the neighbors with gooseberries. Still like the 
Bison Tomatoes best of all. 
Earlicna 
- (Standard Strain). One of the 
EARLIANA. earliest varieties and very pro-

Not a true Huckleberry, but belonging to the 
same family as do Tomatoes, Eggplant, and 
Pepper, this is very productive of round, nearly 
black fruits, but little smaller than a Concord 
Grape. These fruits when fully ripe make ex- 
cellent pies, preserves, and jam. Pkt., 15¢e; oz., 
Sow in hotbed or shallow boxes in the house in early 
Spring, allowing 8 to 10 weeks from sowing indoors to setting in open 
ground; when plants are large enough, transplant into hotbed or boxes 
and when all danger from frost is past transplant into open ground,

VICTOR 
All America Bronze Medal Winner. A 
fine contribution by Dr. A. F. Yeager 
to Tomato Progress. Brought out at the 
Michigan State College. This is a cross. 
between Allred and Break O’Day. The 
somewhat flattened fruits are a desir- 
able red in color, very flashy and resist 
cracking. Market quality is very high 
and culls few. If you want earliness, 
high quality and yield, try Victor. Cer- 
tified seed. Pkt., 15c; % oz., 50c; oz., 
85c; 4 Ib., $2.45, postpaid. 
VALIANT. An early, heavy yielding, large 
fruited, deep globular red sort, a few 
days later than Earliana which it is re- 
placing in many sections. It continues 
to yield heavily through the season. 
Certified seed. Pkt., 15c; \% 0oz., 50c;

Firesteel 
- FIRESTEEL. An early variety that has proven 
very productive under adverse conditions, re- 
sistant to wilt and disease. The fruit is large, 
smooth and uniformly globe shaped, scarlet 
red in color and free from cracking. We think 
more and more of this sort. Certified seed. Pkt., 
10c; 3¢ 02z., 40c; 0z., 70c; 14 Ib., $2.10, post- 
paid. 
ORANGE KING. A midseason bright orange To- 
mato developed by Dr. A. F. Yeager, of 
the University of New Hampshire. A heavy 
yielder, the fruits are a little larger than those 
of Victor. The interior color is also a bright 
orange, much more attractive than ordinary 
yellow Tomatoes, and the juice is much the 
color of orange juice. Tests indicate a higher 
vitamin content than that of red varieties.
