This new 

 The following 



Tomato comes to us so liighly reco'mmended, that we liave decitled to offer it to our patrons before trial. 



description is furnished ua by the introducers: 



" In color it is most remarkaV)le, coloring right up to 

 the calyx and every specimen of virtually one color, and 

 that the most brilliant c:irdinal red, very f;lossy, looking j 

 when ripe almost as if varnished. Tlie flesh appears X^'' 

 the same brilliant color, being scarcely any lighter. 

 They make the handsomest sliced tomatoes imaginable, 

 and have absolutely no green core, while the thickness 

 i>f the pulp is most remarkable. Its type is perfect, 

 '"'ing uuiforml}' smooth, free from any ridges or cor- 

 iirations. 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. Bipe fruits picked in 

 midsummer have kept in tine condition from ten days 

 to two weeks, and it is thought that for shipping long 

 distances it will prove a great aquis tion to market 

 gardeners, particularly in the South, and from its hand- 

 some appearance it mist certainly command the liightst 

 price. It is of vigorous growth and yet comparatively 

 compact in habit, with strong stalks. It bears abun- 

 dently 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.
