aflFected by blight. The fruit has reached a size of three 

 pounds; but the average is a one-pound fruit, unusually smooth. 

 The flesh is more solid than of any other tomato known, mak- 

 ing this variety so valuable for dehydrating purposes. This 

 tomato is of a deep red color and very attractive to the eye. 

 The Diener Tomato is specially useful in many localities for 

 the fact that, after being properly started, it is practically 

 drought resisting. The Diener Tomato is an excellent shipping 

 variety, ripe fruit having been successfully shipped from here 

 to New York. Price of Diener Tomato Seed, $.50 per package; 

 $1.50 per Acre Package.
