“The Mortgage Lifter Tomato”

With years of selection and crossing of the three greatest bearing tomatoes and the largest growing ponderosa, we have at last produced in the MORT¬ GAGE LIFTER, the greatest acquisition in the tomato, that we think is pos¬ sible. As you will notice we have a smooth tomato with fewer seeds than its parent, by cross the Ponderosa has, and, larger yet than a Ponderosa ever was. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE— THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN FROM AN ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH — and was a fraction over eight inches across, and weighed forty-three ounces. We have raised as much as sixty- seven pounds of fruit from a single plant, and it was all select salable fruits.

Last year we sent seed to a large grower, to raise seed for us and asked him to tell us a name for this tomato and he said after its fruiting season (by all means call it “MORTGAGE LIFTER” for it surely is a money maker and will make the tomato grower more money, three times over, than any tomato they ever grew).

Now if you want to raise tomatoes thaf will be the envy of aH your friends and neighbors, by all means get a package of this seed this year and grow the prize tomatoes of your neighborhood — WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO SHOW A TOMATO TO YOUR FRIENDS THAT WAS EIGHT INCHES ACROSS— if so, plant MORTGAGE LIFTER — or if you want to raise three times as many to the acre as you ever raised before — then plant MORTGAGE LIFTER.

We are going to give $5.00 in gold this year to the person who raises the largest tomato from our seed of the MORTGAGE LIFTER. Send us your largest tomato or a picture of it beside a yard stick.

Remember we only have a limited amount of the seed to offer this year, so if you want to try MORTGAGE LIFTER, you want to order at once and not be dissapointed.

Think of it ! ! A fancy fruit store sold these tomatoes at 10c each in August when fancy tomatoes were selling in the market at 75c a bushel.

BY ALL MEANS, BUY A SUPPLY OF THESE SEED and get started on the road to make money out of growing tomatoes.
