 smooth bright red Tomato of good size now in cultivation. 

 The plants are quite hardy with rather slender open bran ches 

 and moderate growth well set with fruits, nearly all of 

 which ripen very early in the season. The Tomatoes are 

 deep scarlet, generally smooth, but not equal in size to those 

 of the best varieties that are slightly later in maturing, they 

 grow in clusters of 5 to 6, fruit averaging 2)4 inches in 

 diameter. Pkt., oc; oz., 20c.; ]( lb., 60c.

 lidity and carrj'ing qualities are

 sirable red; in shape, perfectl}^

l^ Improvert AtJantic Prize 

 Tomato. — Great improvements have 

 been made in this distinctive early 

 Tomato, which has been lacking in 

 size and symmetry. This is all 

 changed now, and instead of the 

 small, rough, deeply corrugated fruits 

 of the "Hundred Daj-" tvpe, we have 

 in the Atlantic Prize a varietv-bearing 

 fruit which in size, shape, color, solid- 

 ity and quality will compare favora- 

 bly with the later kinds, and bv re- 

 peated trials we have demonstrated 

 that it ripens up a large proportion of 

 its crop the earliest of any variety. 

 We do not hesitate to pronounce it 

 the largest, best flavored and bright- 

 est-colored red extra earlv Tomato.

 i/^Iiiyiugston's Magnus— This 

 new variety, of the color of Beauty 

 and Acme, is thicker, heavier and 

 more solid than either of the above, 

 making it the most handsome sort in 

 cultivation. It is unsurpassed in 

 quality and in the production of fine, 

 large fruits. While perfectly- adapted to main crop plant- 

 ing, yet it matures so quickly that it will take first rank for 

 early market. The form is perfect, uniform, large and at- 

 tractive. Flesh is very firm. ' It is a robust grower, with 

 short joints, setting its clusters closer together than Jmost 

 varieties, and is therefore a heavy cropper. The fruits are 

 usuall}- very deep from stem to blossom end, many of them 

 being almost globe-shaped. It ripens evenl^^ does not crack 

 about the stem, and the flavor is most desirable. Oz., 20c.; 

 X lb., 60c.; lb., $3.00. ^—

 tirely free from core, of a very
