  We 
  didn't 
  want 
  to 
  name 
  this 
  New 
  Early 
  Red 
  Tomato 
  "PROSPERITY" 
  but 
  we 
  couldn't 
  help 
  it, 
  no 
  other 
  name 
  could 
  

   tell 
  so 
  quickly 
  and 
  so 
  thoroughly 
  how 
  good 
  it 
  was. 
  

  

  "PROSPERITY" 
  means 
  Success, 
  Good 
  Fortune, 
  Entire 
  and 
  Complete 
  Satisfaction; 
  finding 
  a 
  Tomato 
  possessing 
  all 
  these 
  Quali- 
  

   flcations 
  and 
  advantages 
  we 
  instinctively 
  thought 
  of 
  "PROSPERITY."

  good 
  we 
  have 
  felt 
  inclined 
  to 
  wait 
  

   another 
  year 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  accumulate 
  a 
  larger 
  stock 
  of 
  seed 
  before 
  offering 
  it 
  for 
  sale 
  — 
  but 
  here 
  it 
  is 
  and 
  the 
  opportunity 
  is 
  yours
