Dwarf Champion possesses two qiJalities that are bound to recommend it to all growers of 

 Tomatoes, whether for market or Jjrtvate use, one of these consists of that wonderftil qualitica- 

 tion that even when laden with fruit it Is actually self-suppofting; its thick, stiff and short 

 jointed steins holding the fruit from the ground when loaded with Tomatoes. The second point 

 that particularly recommends Dwarf Champion is its earliness. Its fruit is much larger than the 

 extra early sorts, and will no doubt prove more profltable as an early market crop; but there ap'.- 

 other points in addition that should recommend Dwarf Champion to every reader of this C-at a- 

 logue. Its close, uprijrht growth enables it to be planted closer than any other sort, con se- 

 quently it bids fair to surpass in productiveness every other variety, as a half-bushel of full grown 

 tomatoes can often be seen on a single vine. In shape it is of medium size, the fruit reseHiblmg 

 the Acme, being of a purplish pink color, and always smooth and symmetriciil in form. The 

 flesh is solid and of superior qualitj', while on account of its tough skin, it will bear trattyporta- 

 tion iiiach better than many other varieties. Its dwarf, compact growth, attractive appearance, 

 and above all, that great quality of self-supporting its fruit, will cause Dwarf Chajrnpion to 

 prove one of the most popular varieties. Packet, 10 cts,; ounce, 25 cts,; l.^ lb., 7o cts.; lb., SS.fiO.
