 than do usual commercial grades, but are worth much more than the 

 difference in cost. Proof of this statement is the acknowledged fact that we have built 

 up .and maintained for so many years the largest mail-order seed trade in the world.

New Victoria "Whole Salad" Tomato 



Most Delicious and Most Prolific of All "Individual" Tomatoes 



THlS UniflllP No Vpltv w '^ ^ e we l come d by thousands of planters because of its great superiority both 

 lllo V^llllJUC llUVCliy in quality and productiveness. It bears so tremendously and so continuously 



that twenty plants should yield more than one family could eat in a season. The vigorous vines are covered with fruits 

 borne closely in clusters — as many as three hundred and seventy-three well developed fruits on a single plant 



at one time. The tomatoes measure two and a half inches in diameter and weigh three to four ounces each. They are of 

 a rich bright scarlet color right up to the stem, and so solid that they remain in fine condition for a long time. The firm 

 fruits are just the right size for serving whole, either alone or with lettuce, while the flavor is the best we have ever found 

 in a "whole-salad" tomato. B^^For full description and 



illustration of a cluster from a photograph — see page 25 of
