TOMATO SEED 
782 Certified Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper 
66 days. The finest and latest introduction of 
the late Dr. Pritchard of the United States 
Department of Agriculture, originator of many 
outstanding Tomatoes, including Marglobe and 
Break O’Day. The fruits are of good size

brilliant red. It is very similar to Marglobe, 
showing great solidity with no core and very 
small seed-pockets. It is enormously produc- 
tive when properly fertilized. Many plants 
bear a bushel of smooth solid fruits. Remark- 
ably early maturity recommends it to com- 
mercial growers and shippers. The vines are 
rugged and medium length, with abundant foli- 
age. Ideal all-purpose red tomato. Very smooth 
and uniform. Highly resistant to fusarium 
wilt. Pkt., 20 cts.; 1% oz., 55 cts.; 0z., 90 cts.;
