CUYANO 
New Smooth Marman 
A new strain of Marman developed by Prof. Abelardo Pio- 
vano at the National University of Argentina. An outstanding 
improvement over the original strain. Maturity a few days 
earlier, vine growth the same but more resistant to fungus 
diseases. Fruit quality is greatly improved, much smoother and 
solid. Interior is fleshy without cavities or puffiness. Size 
is somewhat larger in the early clusters, which is the important 
part of fruit setting for early market. In both vine and fruit 
this new strain of Marman called Cuyano is a great improve- 
ment over the original strain.

GERMAN TOMATO (45 Days) 
Extreme Dwarf Bush 
The most unusual dwarf bush tomato we 
have ever tested. Extreme dwarf rugged growth 
rarely grows more than a foot tall and the 
same in diameter. It is really a mystery how 
such a small plant can produce such an abun- 
dance of good size tomatoes. Extremely early, 
in fact we set out plants here in northern 
Ohio, June 15th, 45 days ripe tomatoes ap- 
peared. Somehow one of the fruits fell to the 
ground and was stepped on, before the first 
heavy frost struck, lo and behold there beside 
the mother plant stood progeny plants in full 
bloom. This took place in one of the dryest 
summers on record. If the mother plants had 
been set a month earlier we would of had two 
crops in one year. Leaves have a distinct up- 
ward curl, very thick and rigid. Beautiful globular red fruits attain a size up to 3 inches 
in diameter. Flavor is almost identical to the famous Rutger strain. What a joy it will 
be for shut-ins and indoor gardeners to watch this dwarf bush tomato grow in their 
homes and bear delicious fruit. All you need to grow them is a 10 inch flower pot or 
larger and set in a southern exposed window. Like greenhouse tomatoes the plant must 
be tapped with a stick when blossoms reach the open and extreme yellow stage in order 
to effect pcllinization. This is taken care of by the wind when grown outdoors. Better 
yet, get some of the new hormones, spray on the blossoms for artificial pollinization and 
produce seedless tomatoes.

EARLY GIANT F-1 HYBRID (61 Days) 
A new early F-1 hybrid tomato developed by Dr. H. B. Peto of the Peto Seed Co. 
Experiment station reports have shown it outstanding. Bears a heavy yield of early to- 
matoes averaging 7.4 oz. in size compared to Rutgers at 5.1 oz. and Valiant at 5.4 oz. 
Deep globular shape, smooth, highly crack resistant and excellent red color. Solid flesh 
and of delicious flavor. Very vigorous semi- determinate vine growth, suitable for stak- 
ing. Produces heavy over a long period. 
Pkt. (about 50 seeds) 50c; 2 pkts. 95c; 3 pkts. $1.35; 4% oz. $10.00. 
I have been hearing much about the wonderful seeds you handle, especially tomato 
seeds.
