NEW TOMATO No. 400. 
The cut gives a good idea of this grand Tomato (which for the present we will call No. 400), but of course conveys no idea of its 
enormous weight and solidity. It is all solid meat, so free from seeds that we have had to pay our growers five times as much to 
raise seed of this as of the ordinary sorts. It is a very handsome variety, being uniformly large, smooth, of a dark rich crimson color, 
and a delicious sub-acid flavor. To show the enormous size of this great Tomato, we would state that twelve specimens weighed 1614 
lbs., an average weight of 1 lb. 6 ozs. each, one monster tipping the scales at 1 1b. 14 ozs. Price of New Tomato No. 400, 25c. per packet. 
CONDITIONS OF COM PETITION Every purchaser of this new Tomato is entitled to send in a name for each and every packet 
& purchased. The names can be sent in any time before October Ist, 1891. None will be 
received after that date. The names will be carefully considered by a capable disinterested committee of three, whose decision shall be final. 
In the event of two or more parties sending in the same name, and the one selected by the committee, then the prize money will be divided 
equally. On the front of each packet of seed a space for the name is left, so that competitors can fill in their choice, adding their own name 
and address in the proper spaces. These empty packets must be returned to us. Price of New Tomato No. 400, 25 cts. per packet. 
For the guidance of those suggesting a name, we would say that the judges in coming to a decision will give preference to names 
of a descriptive character, as, for instance, the Snowball Cauliflower or the White Plume Celery. It is also proper to say that 
they will reject the names of individuals or any name that has been used before for a Tomato. 
ZS Remember, you are entitled to send one NAME for EACH packet YOU BUY, whether it be 1, 5, 10, 50 or 100 packets.
