How to Ripen 2 Weeks Early 
It “is easy /to grow lar er tomatoes with 
fewer seeds ; that ripen two weeks earlier 
and produce: a bigger crop by using BLOS- 
SOM-SET. | EF 
At least a\60°. 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. PRICES for BLOS- 
SOM-SET : (4 oz. 85ce) (pt. $1.85), prepaid.

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. Famous the country over. 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 bright red fruits average 314 in. across and 2% in. 
deep, with some as deep as 3% 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 
Te and canning. It is free from blight and disease and drought re- 
sistant. 
Two or Three Vines for a Family 
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. 25e) (Jumbo Pkt. 60c)

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!

able cracks and skin blemishes that sometimes 
mar tomatoes and cause undue loss of the up-

canning.

IMPROVED COLOSSAL 
Largest of All Tomatoes 
90 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. 
Improved Colossal Golden. Equally as 
large as Crimson, and its deep golden color 
makes it a suitable companion. 
Improved Colossal Red. This brightly S. O 
colored tomato is een? ae in Sar 
cumference than Crimson an olden, bu 
is deeper and, therefore equal to them in IMPROVED COLOSSAL 
weight. 
Improved Colossal Yellow. Mildest flavor. 
It is also a little flatter, but is as broad as 
Crimson and Golden.
