 any other in its style of

 and smooth, flesh solid and of 

 fine quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c;

 more than ordinary merit, 

 coming' into use ahead of 

 Dwarf Champion. The fruits 

 are perfectly smooth, resem- 

 bling Dwarf Champion in 

 color; very deep, solid and 

 thick meated, ripening up "well JT' ' 

 around the stem. It is an im- j|

]Vew Dwarf Stone — A splendid new Tomato, originating wim 

 the famous Livingstons. In habit of vine it resembles 

 Dwarf Champion, but it is of stronger growth and more

 lar Stone, with the additional advantage of the Dwarf 

 Champion habit. Under ordinary field culture this sort 

 completelv outclasses Dwarf Champion. Here is the rec- 

 ord: Ten fruits picked at one time from one vine weighed 

 5 lbs. and 3 oz.; five fruits selected for average specimens

German, Liebesapfel. French, Toniate. 



Sow the seed in a hot-bed first week in March, in drills half 

 an inch deep. When the plants are about two inches high, 

 transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, one plant in 

 each pot; in that way the plants are strengthened and branch 

 out better. Set the plants out about the first of June, about 

 three feet apart, for early crop, mixing a shovelful of well- 

 rotted manure in each hill. For late crops, or where the soil is 

 heavy, plant four feet apart. Water freely when transplanting 

 and protect from the sun for a few days until the plants are 

 fairly started. A few plants may be raised by sowing seed in a 

 pot or a box in the house. 



1 oz. to 1,500 plants. 14 lb. for transplanting on an acre. 



CREAM CITY TOMATO. 



Tlie First Large Tomato to Ripen. Remarkably Prolific. 

 Flesh Thick and Solid. 



In this new Tomato we have a variety of exceptional merit, 

 coming into use as early as Early Ruby and other small and 

 unshapely extra early sorts. It is perfectly smooth and sym- 

 metrical in shape and as large as Perfection. The plants are 

 strong and vigorous, bearing an abundance of large, smooth fruit 

 of a beautiful purplish crimson color. The flesh is remarkably 

 thick, firm and solid, and of very fine quality with very few 

 seeds. It is an excellent shipper. Does not crack or rot, as is 

 the case with many of the old sorts. 



The Cream City is the most profitable Tomato for the market 

 gardener and trucker, and is unsurpassed for canning purposes 

 Pkt. 10c: oz. 40c; Vi lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.50.

 with the Livingstons, of to- 

 mato fame, will be suffi-

 lis. An entirely distinct
