 THE TURNER HYBRID.— Sometimes called 

 _ the Sl,iiOO lomato. None of my introductions ever 

 E aroused more comment than this famous and 

 g magniflcent tomato. In 1.-S86, hearing of just half 

 ° an ounce of seed taken from selected specimens 

 p of the Turner Hvbrid, I paid S.30 for it, or at the rate 

 h ofSl,UOO per pound. Hence this great variety has 

 * been called the $1,600 tomato. The seed raised 

 to from the original stock can of course be obtained 

 E only from me. The Turner Hybrid is one of the 

 e largest, most solid, and most productive tomatoes 

 g grown. It ripens evenly up to the stem, is free of 

 S core, and in flavor is unsurpassed by any other 

 r kind. The color is a rich, brilliant red, with a 

 i suggestion of purple. The skin is thin, but so 

 E tough as to preserve the fruit a long time in good 

 3 condition. Ii is a strong, vigorous grower, the 

 S vines demanding plenty of room. The tomato in 

 H the basket Is handsome. It ships well and sells 

 ' quicklv. The foliage differs from all others, the 

 P leaves'being entire and not cut or deeply toothed. 

 ^ In fruitiug capacity it is enormous, and there is 

 'A no better table tomato on the market. Packet, 

 H 10 cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; \i pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2.50.

MATCHLESS This tomato is well named, for it 18 a 



,mous sort, and is known to all gardeners. It is indeed 

 latchless in form, regularity of growth and shipping 

 lalities. In color it is a rich, cardinal red. It is very 

 rge in size, and the skin is so tough that it is a splen- 

 d keeper, and is less liable to crack in wet weather than 

 IV other large tomato. For market sales it cannot be 

 irpas'.ed, as its appearance and quality are all that 

 could be desired. The plant is a strong grower 

 and is verv productive, bearing with undiminished 

 vigor until fiost. The fruit is free from core, and 

 of prime table quality. The .Matchless is a profit- 

 able tomato to the grower, and quite as satisfac-
