CRE.4M CITY TOMATO. The First Large Tomato to Ripen. 

 Keniarkabl.v Prolific. Flesh Thick and Solid. 



A variety of exceptional merit, coming into use as early as 

 Early Kuby 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 crim- 

 son color. The flesh is remarkably thick, firm and solid, and 

 of very fine quality with very few seeds. It is an excellent ship- 

 per. Does not crack or rot, as is the case with many of the 

 old sorts.
