*GILL’S ALL-PURPOSE — Our 1947  intro- 
duction and originated by Gill Bros. This grand 
tomato is just like its name implies and is fine 
for all the main purposes. Field trials indicate 
that this variety 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 quali- 
ties of both. Outstanding for yield, appearance, 
quality, flavor. It produces heavy yields of large, 
uniform fruit on self-terminate vines. The fruit 
is bright red, possessing the solid, deep red in- 
terior of the Pepper tomato and with its fine 
flavor. On account 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 unusually resistant to disease. Fruit 
of large size, but not as large as the Wasatch 
Beauty. They pack well and stand shipment bet- 
ter than most sorts. Pkt. 15c; %4 oz. 80c; 
Y% oz. $1.50; oz. $2.35; 14 Ib. $6.50; Ib. $15.00. 
THE PRITCHARD, CERTIFIED (Scarlet 
Topper) — In earliness similar to Break O’Day. 
Exterior and interior color intense scarlet. Fruit 
of half globe shape and very solid. A tremendous 
cropper and very popular with market gardeners. 
*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 strains. 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. 15c; 14 oz. 25c; oz. 90c; 
1%4 |b. $2.75; Ib. $8.50. 
*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 resistant to rain cracks, prac- 
tically every fruit is smooth, generally of near 
globe shape, and they are exceptionally solid, 
containing 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. 15¢; %4 oz. 35c; % oz. 65¢; 
oz. $1.10; %4 Ib. $3.75. 
*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 sub- 
ject to cracking. Long globe shape and very 
uniform. Diameter about 34 to 1 inch. Pkt. 15e; 
Y% oz. $1.00; oz. $2.50.

*IMPROVED WASATCH BEAUTY — In 
1939, we introduced this remarkable tomato 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 market 
and home gardeners should try this outstanding 
tomato. One of the best producers for commer- 
cial canning. Seed crop very short. Postpaid.
