Bonny Best Early. 
(Scarlet red.) This new variety is 
fully ten days earlier than Chalk’s 
; Early Jewel, and within two or 
73 three days as early as Harliana. It 
vy iS a vigorous grower, enormously 
prolific, with larger foliage than the 
arliana, which will protect the 
fruit from the hot sun, on days 
when other early varieties with less 
foliage would scald. In shape it is 
roundish and slightly flattened at 
the stem end but thicker through 
* than most other tomatoes in its 
class. In color it is a beautiful 
searlet red; setting its fruit in clus- 
it ters of five or more at close inter- 
vals. When ripening each set 
 ripens nearly all atonce, and ripens 
evenly all over up to the stem. 
Makes a magnificent variety for 
4 slicing; its greatest characteristic is 
its uniformity of size and smooth- 
ness in shape. <A good early red
