In a late number of the Market Growers' Jour- 

 nal, in a symposium on tomato growing, five of 

 the six writers commended BONNY BEST. One 

 calls it a "top-notcher." another says his patrons 

 would take no other if Bonny Best was on the 

 wagon. The qualities mentioned are eariiness, 

 almost the first; most desirable in size, smooth- 

 ness, velvety red, thrlftlness of plant, long bear- 

 ing season, great productiveness, excellent for 

 early or main crops. We have thousands of plants 

 of this variety, transplanted, tough, stocky, well 

 rooted, extra fine strain, sure to please, $1.00 

 per 100. Ready now.
