Gentlemen: — / am proud to 

 state to you that 1 had good 

 success with your Duke of 

 York Tomato, the best success 

 of any Duke of York Tomato 

 I ever planted. They stood 

 the dry vjeatherwitkont show- 

 ing any sign of plight what- 

 ever, for their eating qual- 

 ities I don't think they could 

 be improved, and they kept up 

 bearing longer than any other 

 variety tomato I planted. I 

 also noticed that they have 

 smaller vines and grow long- 

 er. When they start off to 

 bearing, it seems as if they 

 are not going to put out much 

 fruit, but I found I was de- 

 ceived. I don't care to have 

 any better for my planting. 

 The vines now up to th is date 

 have set in fresh bearing and 

 are just as green, and I have 

 not used any spray this sea- 

 son at all on my tomatoes. 



Your Cabbage Seed and Big 

 Boston Lettuce have my choice 

 Your seeds have always prov- 

 ed a success with me. I plant 

 carefully, work carefully and 

 gather carefully and ship 

 carefully. Wishing you a 

 continued success in your 

 business, I remain. 

 Yours truly,

297. DUKE OF YORK TOMATOES.— The genuine old type — blue stem Dukes have (liven the utmost satisfaction to the Florida Tomato Growers, 

 it has brought many a dollar rolling their way but it has been difficult for these growers to get absolutely the straight type of Dukes when they 

 ordered it, this situation however is a thing of the past for we are now prepared to supply all our friends and customers with the purest, truest, 

 cleanest type of genuine old type — blue stem Duke of York they have ever seen or grown. Our supply for the last two years has not been enough 

 to go around, this season we increased our acreage considerably, we are therefore prepared to fill many more orders than ever before but even now 

 we fear the demand for this excellent strain will be more than we can supply, so order early. We honestly believe we will soon get the entire 

 Florida trade on Duke of York Tomato Seed and we are going to get it because our Duke of York Tomato Seed is the Genuine Old-type Blue Stem 

 Strain kept absolutely Pure and True. Send to us for your Duke of York Tomato Seed and you run no chances, we will either send you the Finest 

 Stock of Dukes you have ever had or return to you your money. Texas Tomato Growers should give this Tomato a thorough trial, it has proved 

 such a money crop for Florida, it might prove equally profitable in Texas. Duke of York Tomato is one of the grandest Tomatoes recently intro- 

 duced, color, rich, glossy scarlet, splendid cropper, round in shape, flesh very firm, large size, fine flavor. It ripens its fruit uniformly together, 

 whilst its profusion of clusters, averaging 8 and 10 large evenly formed clusters each, makes it conspicuously handsome. Ripens evenly to the 

 stem, is a strong, healthy grower, not subject to rust or blight, is an enormous cropper and produces until the vines are killed by frost, holding its 

 size well until the last picking. Quality the very best, solid and meaty. PKts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 25c. 1/4 Lb. 90c. 1/2 Lb. $1.75. Lb. $3.50. 



The Duke of York Tomato Seed I bought of you were all O. K.; also the 

 Celery and Lettuce. I will buy of you for next season.

THE GREAT B. B. TOMATO. S2^ IAN0S 



Is unequaled. It has every good quality pertaining to the Tomato and 

 avoids all faults of other sorts. One of the smoothest, most solid, 

 heaviest and most handsome Tomatoes grown. It suits gardeners, 

 canners and shippers, who are delighted with its faultless fruit, which 

 fills their wants in every particular. The B. B. is as solid as an apple, 

 has no core and the flavor is excellent. It weighs more pounds per 

 bustiel than many other sorts which proves its solidity ; has a beautiful 

 red color, outside and inside, and the fruit is quite large. There is no 

 need of a field of poor Tomatoes when one dollar will buy enough to 

 supply plants for one acre. Used successfully for early and late crops ; 

 always sells at the highest prices. PKts. 5e and 10c. Oz. 15c. 2 ozs. 

 25c. 1/4 Lb. 50c. 1/2 Lb. 75c. Lb. $1.50. 



We havebeen using " 'Bolgiano' 's Great B. B." Tomatoes for a number 

 of years. It has never failed to give entire satisfaction. We consider it 

 the best Tomato that grows for canning purposes, and use it to the exclu- 

 sion of all other varieties ^and we will place our order again with you this 

 year. We usually plant from three to five hundred acres in Tomatoes.

Livingstons NEW GLOBE Tomato. 



Of Special Value for the Home Garden and Florists. 



In shape it is distinct from all others, being a beautiful globe, with 

 quite a good percentage of elongated (stem to blossom) fruits. It is 

 among the first to ripen ; fruit of large size, and a good marketable size 

 is maintained throughout the season ; always smooth, firm-fleshed, and 

 has very few seeds. Ripens evenly through and through ; a fine glossy 

 rose in color, tinged with purple; very productive, the plant is always 

 loaded with fruit, as it has joints at frequent intervals and each joint 

 produces large clusters of from 3 to 7 fruits. Especially adapted to 

 slicing or eating from the hand as the flavor is very delicate and agree- 

 able. PKt. 10c. 0z. 25c. 2 Ozs. 50c. 1/4 Lb. 90c. 1/2 Lb. $1.75.
