Nothing I have ever introduced has excited so much comment as this 
Inagnificent tomato. It is unquestionably the finest, largest, most 
solid and most productive tomato grown. They ripen very early, 
evenly up to the stem, are free of all core, and in flavor surpass anything 
you ever tasted, especially when eaten raw. Skin thin, but so tough that 
they will keep longer in good condition than any other. Color, a rich, un- 
Surpassed red. A strong, vigorous grower, its foliage differs from all others, 
leaves being entire and not cut. In enormous productiveness it leads 
all. Over 60,000 gardeners, the last two seasons, pronounced it the most re- 
markable tomato they had ever seen. In 1886, hearing of just half ounce of 
Seed taken from selected Specs of the Turner Hybrid, I paid $50 for 
it, or at the rate of $1600 per lb. The seed raised from the $1600 
stock can only be obtained from me and from no other source. The $100 
premium in 1890 was secured by I, S. Davis, Daisy, N. C., witha mammoth 
¢ tomato weighing 5 Ibs. 153s ozs. Such atomato 
' I am sure was neyer raised before. If you 
wish to surprise your neighbors with finer, 
larger and more delicious tomatoes 
than you have ever seen, you must sow 
this $1600 strain of Turner Hybrid. Packet, 
10 cents; ounce, 40 cents; 4 pound, $1.25; 
< pound, 3.00.

- Mansfield Tree Tomato - 
I cannot do better in describing this variety than {o | 
quote as follows from a letter written by Mr. Mans- 
field, the originator: ‘‘I will state facts, and nothing | 
but facts. The Mansfield Tree Tomato has been 
originated by me after eighteen years of careful | 
selections and special methods of cultivation, until | 
it has attained the height of 10 feet and 7 inches for 
the tree, and a weight fora single Tomato of 34 ounces, 
and a diameter of 6 inches, with testimonials of over | 
60 pounds of ripe fruit to a single tree, of a quality 
that surpasses all others. Fruit ripens from July 4th || 
until frost. I have one tree laid by for a sample, to 
show you or any of your customers, which measures 
10 feet and 7 inches, and can show testimonials to ||) 
back all my statements, and you can stake any money 
on them on my account, and come on for the youchers. 
Thad my first ripe Tomato July 4th, and a fine one it | 
was. My best trees, July 25th, stood 7 feet high, and I |} 
had Tomatoes on them that were five inches in 
diameter at that time and still growing. They were 
then all liberally loaded with fruit from the blossom 
up to five inches, and run up as high as seventeen on 
one stem, and always of superior quality. They are 
as solid all the way through as a hard boiled egg, and 
but very few seeds in a Tomato. There are several 
other Tomatoesthat have been called “ Tree Tomato,” 
but have all proven to be poor, worthless and sour 
Tomatoes ; but the Mansfield Tree Tomato has proved 
to be all that is claimed for it, and sends back to me 
from sample seed sent out, most wonderful accounts 
from Dakota to Vermont, and from the Lakes to | 
Florida and California.’’ My supply of seed of this 
Tomato is yery limited, consequently regret to say, 
MANSFIELD TREE TOMATO. I can offer it by the packet only. Packet, 15 cents.
