“Prosperity Tomato” 
The Wonder Among New Early Tomatoes That Has Attracted So Much Attention 
310. 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 qualifications and 
advantages we instinctively thought of ‘“PROSPERITY.” 
Description: 
ing a period of ten years, filled full of strong, sturdy, healthy new blood. 
Shippers all over the United States and Canada for the last five years, it is today thought more of than ever before. 
60c. Oz. $1.00. 14 Ib. $3.00. 1 Ib. $10.00. Postpaid. 
In Tennessee—The Earliest by 9 Days 
On August 1, Mr. Oliver Cowan, Shelbyville, Tenn., writes: ‘‘I write 
to let you know that the ‘ Prosperity’ Tomato seed which I bought of you this 
Spring were 9 days earlier than several other very early varieties planted the 
same day. No other seed was as early as your ‘Prosperity,’ although sown 
the same day and plants set out the same day. I am well pleased with your 
Tomato Seed.” 
in Delaware—Produced Three Pecks to the Hill 
On November 3, Mr. Gore Ennis, of Kent Co., Delaware, writes: ‘‘In 
regard lo our crop of ‘Prosperity’ Tomato, this variety was far ahead of any 
variety that I have ever grown on account of their foliage being so thick, which 
kept the sun from the Tomato. Without any exaggeration I can say I picked 
a 3-peck basket from one hill.” 
In Florida—Results Were Wonderful 
On January 1, Mr. J. E. Gammon, of Jackson Co., Fla., writes: ‘‘ The 
enclosed order ts made up from your catalogue handed me by Mr. W. H.

results were wonderful. JI sold, besides using all I could on the table three 
times a day, $26.00 worth from two rows about 35 yards long."” 
Fruit Weighing One Pound in Canada

I have ever grown. Extremely early and continuing right to the end of the

proportion of seconds.”’ 
In Oklahoma—Can’t Garden Without It 
On January 23, Mr. H. C. Kennedy, Enid, Oklahoma, writes as follows:

ment Station, Ga., writes as follows: ‘‘ We grew the ‘Prosperity’ Tomato 
among about twenty-five other varieties. While the season was unfavorable, 
tt was considerably above the average. I am well pleased with it and I think

ripe being June7. The average diameter of the fruit was 23% inches."’

the best Tomatoes that I have ever seen. There was no other variety anywhere 
near them. The other seed ordered from you proved to be very fine and every- 
thing that you claimed for them.”’
