New Tomato 
Success Tomato found a place for itself at once in the 
high esteem of every tomato grower who planted it. That it 
well deserves the name ‘‘Success”’ is borne out in the fact that 
when I offered $100 for a name for this variety 37 of my cus- 
tomers suggested the name Success. No other name would 
have been as appropriate, and no better title has been found 
for a new vegetable, fruit or flower for many a day. In 
shape Success is smooth, well formed and extremely deep 
from stem to blossom, making it unusually heavy. It ripens 
evenly to the stem, and is without ridges or cracks; has 
great meatiness and few seeds. It is firm without being hard, 
an unrivaled home tomato and an unequaled shipper. The 
vines are vigorous but compact. The joints are short and it 
always fruits in large’clusters at every second joint, which 
accounts for its wonderful productiveness. Success is the 
heaviest for its size of any variety, and on account of its bril- 
\liant red color, depth and solidity, is the handsomest tomato 
|I have everseen. Almost 10,000 letters have come to hand 
|from my customers, praising Success in the highest terms. 
| On the market stall its beautiful appearance and color make 
| it sell ahead of all sorts, and its unusual solidity, few seeds and 
desirable form for rapid peeling without waste make it the 
most desirable canning variety known. The largest growers . 
of tomatoes for canning and market purposes are all enthus- 
iastic about Success. I have never introduced a variety of any 
vegetable that has sprung so quickly into popular favor.
