DWARF CHAMPION TOMATO. 
Two features of the famous Dwarf Champion Tomato are of especial importance to gardeners. 
One is its habit of growth, its stiff, upright stalks being so sturdy as to hoid the truit well above 
the soil, even without stakes or supports. The other is the earliness with which it reaches ma- 
turity. It is larger than the extra early sorts. In color it is a purplish pink, and is always 
round, Smooth and symmetrical. It is of medium to large size, though consideiably smalier 
than the great mid-summer types. Its table quality is superior, the fiavor being equal to the 
best. It bears transportation well and is a fayorite on the home table. ‘he dark green, 
wrinkled leaves bespeak a strong, vigorous type. The upright torm of growth makes close 
planting possible, three feet being sufhcient. The crop of fruit may reach half a bushel to each 
individual plant, which means an enormous product from even a small aiea of ground. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 
STONE.—This has come to be recognized as one of the best of all the standard sorts, though 
still comparatively new. The color is a desirable, bright red. The fruit is of large size, per- 
fectly Smooth and of best table quality in every respect. It is a famous main crop tomato in 
many sections, both North and South, and is much used for canning. The plants are produc- 
tive and the fruit bears shipment well. I rate it with the best.

PERFECTION.—This well-known tomato has many points in common with Paragon, and 
is of equally high quality. It is one of the Livingston group, and though not new is in wide 
favor. It is an improved Acme, with red 
skin, larger than that variety and fully as 
early, with more solid flesh and fewer seeds. 
It produces well all through the season, the

MAULE’S TROPHY. 
THE TURNER HYBRID TOMATO. 
Maule’s $1600 Strain. 
The Turner Hybrid is one of the largest, most 
beautiful and most productive tomatoes ever 
grown. The color is a rich, pinkish red, witha 
i} decided suggestion of purple. The skin is thin, 
} but so tough as to preserve the fruit a long time 
in good condition. The tomato in the basket is 
especially handsome. It ships well and sells 
quickly. The fruit ripens evenly to the stem, and 
is very smooth, with no hard core, and in fiavor 
is unsurpassed by any other variety. It is « 
strong, vigorous grower, the vines demanding 
plenty of room. It will fruit all the better if given 
Space for development. The foliage differs from 
all others, the leaves being entire and not cut or 
deeply lobed, thus resembling the potato. In 
fruiting capacity it is enormous and there is no 
better table tomato on the market. The color or 
Shade of a tomato affects its sale in the markets. 
The Turner Hybrid cannot be excelled where a 
pink or purplish fruit is called for by consumers. 
I paid originally $50 for half an ounce of the seed or at the 
rate of $1600 per pound, hence, it bas been called the $l6W To- 
mato. It was worth its cost as the American public long ago 
decided. I still sell the original strain. The Turner Hybiid 
is also known and offered by some seedsmen as the Mikado 
Tomato, PkKt., 10 cts.; 0z., 25 cts.; 44 1b., 75 cts.; Lb., $2.25.
