EARLY FREEDOM TOMATO. 



THE BEST EARLY TOMATO IN EXISTENCE. 



Not only early, but a prodigious and continuous bearer. Quality, 



solidity and flavor surpassingly fine. 



Early Freedom is unqualifiedly superior to any other early tomato grown. Its 

 value lies not only in the actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that such 

 enormous quantities of fruit can be gathered while all other so-called "Earlies" 

 are ripening only a few. The fruits are of good size, brilliant scarlet in color, 

 perfectly round, smooth and remarkably handsome. The flesh is solid, of perfect 

 flavor and absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits are borne in large 

 clusters, in phenomenal abundance and continuously, from the middle of July 

 (in this latitude) until killed by frost. It has a very tough skin and flesh is 

 very firm, making it the best shipper and keeper of the early varieties. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 J^ lb., $4.00 lb. 



"/ want to thank you for the satisfaction that I have experienced in growing your superb Freedom 

 Tomato. They are superior in every respect to any other kind that I have ever tried. We had ripe toma- 

 toes from the Freedom on June 15ih, weighing from l\i pounds and over. The Freedom was ripe when 

 those of other varieties were hardly in bloom. They are the finest tomatoes in this part of the country." 



Mrs. S. C. RHEBERG, Covington, Ga. 



Henderson's Crimson Cushion TOMATO. 



The Earliest Large Tomato — A prolific and continuous fruiter — Almost 

 seedless and very solid. 



This crimson-scarlet brother of Ponderosa is the latest addition to our new race 



of almost seedless tomatoes. The fruits, while not quite as large as those of 



Ponderosa, yet average big — big enough for any body and for any purpose, 



measuring 4 to 5 inches in diameter and 3 to 4 inches in depth, in fact the fruits 



are so thick that they appear almost round. This symmetry of form, added 



to the other merits — brilliant crimson-scarlet color, solidity, neatness and high 



quality of flesh, freedom from acidity and watery pulp, scarcity of seeds — has 



won for Henderson's Crimson Cushion many friends. It is fairly early for so 



large a tomato, enormously prolific and bears continuously until killed by frost.

"We and our friends pronounce your Crimson Cushion the most excellent tomato we ever ate ; it 

 has spoiled us for any other." F. D. THAYER, Dudley, Mass. 



"Crimson Cushion will yield a crop where all other tomatoes fail; for beauty, size and flavor 

 they cannot be excelled." J. W. DALE, Du Boise, Pa. 



Sparks' Earliana 



TOMATO. 



Sparks' Earliana is without a doubt the 

 earliest good tomato grown. It was raised 

 and developed in a section of South Jersey, 

 from which probably more early tomatoes 

 are shipped than any other place in the 

 United States. Earliana is not only extremely 

 early but of particularly fine quality, which is 

 very rare in an early tomato. The flesh is 

 remarkably solid, and it has few seeds. It 

 has the habit peculiar to many early sorts of 

 setting the bulk of its fruits close to the 

 center of the plant, so that they are exposed 

 to the sun and thus ripen early. These qual- 

 ities make it particularly useful for a first crop 

 variety, and where more than one sort is 

 grown, Earliana should head the list. The 

 fruits which develop later are not equal in 

 quality to those of the later and larger sorts.
