Burpee’s 
New Dwarf Giant. 
(Purplecrimson.) This tomato was first 
offered last year, and I raised a small 
erop of it from seed obtained direct from 
the introducer, who has this to say re- 
garding this variety: ‘Dwarf Giant is 
the largest fruited of all dwarf tomatoes ; 
the fruits are truly gigantic in size, and 
are uniformly large throughout the sea- 
son. In fact, no other tomato, excepting 
only the Ponderosa, is so large and heavy. 
The color is a rich purple crimson, and 
the depth of color is maintained through- 
out the entire fruit. The skin, while thin 
and easily removed in peeling, is suffi- 
ciently strong to protect the fruit when 
shipped to distant markets. Dwarf Giant 
is of uniformly compact and bush-like 
growth. While of the true dwarf type, 
the plants growing 2 feet high and well 
branched, are very strong and vigorous. 
The cut-leaf foliage is dark green and 
heavy, almost like leather in texture. The 
thick stalks carry well the tremendous 
weight of fruits, which are produced in 
clusters of 4 to 6, and weigh 12 to 18 ounces 
each.’’ 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
- ‘The MeGee 
Tomato. 
(Scarlet red.) My attention was called 

. last spring to this tomato, which seemed 
to be creating quite a lot of comment in 
Texas, so | had my manager at Panmure 
send to Prof. McGee, San Marcos, Texas, 
the originator, for a few packets of the 
seed, and must say it has done fairly well

on my trial grounds; proving to be a short vined variety similar to | headquarters stock. Prof. McGee has been able to raise two crops in 
Earliana and maturing very nice smooth scarlet fruit about the same! one year. In other words, from seed harvested in June he has raised 
time. It impressed meso favorably that I saved the seed,and now offer | another crop in the fall. Packet, 15 cents, 2 packets, 25 cents.

(Deep red.) Maule’s 
Enormous Tomato, bred 
by Mr. Miesse, was first 
introduced to the public 
in my catalogue for 1899, 
having been sent out the 
previous year in packets 
for trial under the name 
“Hight to the Yard.” 
Maule’s Enormous, how- 
ever, was not bred merely 
for large size. The name 
was selected from the fact 
that it seemed to apply 
better to this wonderful 
tomato than any other. 
Incom parative trials 
| with other sorts, under 
ordinary conditions, 
Maule’s Enormous has 
made a record for both 
quality and quantity, 
while the beauty of the 
fruit makesit an easy and 
quick seller in all mar- 
kets. The fruit is re- 
markably solid and firm ; 
Enormous is now uni- 
versally recognized as a 
standard main crop red 
tomato, of great size and 
aE HUY) productive ability, and of 
AN Yoo. the highest amateur and 
SH) f commercial quality. Ey- 
erybody is pleased with 
Hi 
\ - it but I regret the crop is 
Y Yj almost a failure this year.
