CRAZY TOMATOES 
A combined well-balanced mixture of 12 of the rarest and most unusual tomato 
novelties. This is the first year we have offered a mixed packet of our odd collection 
of tomatoes. which no doubt in number is the largest and most unusual in the world. 
All of them are novelties and worthless commercially. A packet of these crazy tomatoes 
is many times more interesting to grow than gourds. The 12 varieties ordered separately 
from our listings would cost $3.50. 
Pkt.: 50c.

PERON (68 Days) Sprayless Tomato 
A miraculous variety developed by Prof. 
Abelardo Piovano at the National University of 
Argentina. Medium size semi-determinate bushy 
vines are very resistant to fungus diseases com- 
mon to tomatoes. Foliage is semi-dense. A very 
heavy yielder of large size, slightly flattened 
globular fruits of the most extraordinary quality. 
Interior of fruits very solid and meaty. without 
any core. Very small and numerous seed cells, 
form a perfect fruit structure. Ripens to a beau- 
tiful deep red color over the entire fruit without 
green or yellow shoulders. Its tough, velvety- 
smooth skin is very. crack resistant and easily 
peeled without immersing in hot water, a rarity 
not found in other varieties. Flavor is mildly acid and of a most delicious taste. Fruits 
keep exceptionally long after ripening. The Peron tomato is called sprayless because 
it will produce a normal crop of quality fruit in most areas without any disease control. 
No other tomato was ever introduced that received so many voluntary complimentary 
reports and we have them by the hundreds. No other tomato ever introduced has shown 
such wide adaptability. These reports have come from practically every state, in areas 
where they were unable to grow any other strains. It performs wonderfully in the tropics 
where fungus diseases get out of hand. From Alaska we have a report it is wonderful 
in the greenhouse. Its drought resistance is terrific. 
Pkt.: (about 600 seeds) 50c; 4 oz. $1.75; 1 oz. $6.50; '% lb. $24.50. 
QUIT EXPERIMENTING THIS CUSTOMER SAYS 
“Due to previous failures to raise top qvality tomatoes, I had about given them up. 
Last spring I decided one more try. I set our 100 Peron tomato plants from your seed. 
The plants were set in two rows four feet each way. At the time of writing this letter, 
that patch measures 20 by 220 feet of dense growth. From the time those plants became 
established even the weeds didn’t have a chance. As for fruit itself, GENTLEMEN. 
YOU CAN QUIT EXPERIMENTING.”
