NEW TOMATO—THE CARDINAL. 
This new Tomato comes to us so highly recommended, that we have decided to offer it to our patrons before 
trial. The following description is furnished us by the introducers: 
SNOWWHITE 
OLIVE SHAPED 
TURNIP. 
“In color it is most remarkable, coloring right up to 
the calyx and every specimen of virtually one color, and 
that the most brilliant cardinal red, very glossy, looking 
when ripe almost as if varnished. ‘he flesh appears of 
the same brilliant color, being scarcely any lighter, 
They make the handsomest sliced tomatoes imaginable, 
and have absolutely no green core, while the thickness 
of the pulp is most remarkable. Its type is perfect, 
§ being uniformly smooth, free from any ridges or cor- 
NW) rugations. It is as early as any good Tomato and is 
much larger in size than the average. It is exceedingly 
solid and of wonderful firmness. Ripe fruits picked in 
midsummer have kept in fine condition from ten days 
to two weeks, and it is thought that for shipping long 
distances it will prove a great acquisition to market 
gardeners, particularly in the South, and from its hand- 
some appearance it must certainly command the highest 
price. It is of vigorous growth and yet comparatively 
compact in habit, with strong stalks. It bears abun- 
dantly throughout the season, and, weight of fruit con- 
sidered, is the most productive variety known.” 
Price, 25 cents per packet; 5 packets for $1.00.
