NEW TOMATOES. 



Hubert's Marvel. This variety is a selection from Stirling Castle. The fruit is perfectly round, of medium size, 

 and produces in very large clusters. Plants grown at Doyle Nurseries, trained on single leaders, produced 10 

 pounds of fruit each. The growth is very short jointed and was quite free from disease. Admitted by all local 

 growers who have seen it to be the best Tomato grown. Per packet, 25 cents. 



Winter Beauty. An excellent, smooth fruited variety, very early, which comes to us from the Island of Guernsey. 

 Highly recommended for forcing. Per packet, 25 cents. 



June Pink. The plant is neat and compact, branching freely, with fruit hanging in clusters of six to ten fruits, 

 both in the crown and at the forks of' the branches. The fruit is of medium size, uniform, smooth, and 

 attractively shaped, without cracks or any green core. The fruit will average 2% to 3 inches in diameter, 

 and from 2 to 2^2 inches in depth. The skin is reasonably tough, so that it is excellent for shipping pur- 

 poses. In color, it is a bright, pleasing pink, and in markets where a pink tomato is desired will bring 25 

 per cent, more in price than any red variety. It has the further quality, making it especially desirable for 

 private use, of continuing to bear and ripen fruit up until frost. Per packet of 40 seeds, 20 cents; 3 packets, 

 50 cents; 7 packets, $1.00.
