CREAM CITY. 
CREAM CITY TOMATO. 
Remarkably Prolific. Flesh Thick and Solid. 
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 symmetrical 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 excel- 
lent 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 mar- 
ket gardener and trucker, and is unsurpassed for canning
