NEW DWARF CHAMPION.— 
Dwarf Champion possesses two qualities that 
are bound to recommend it to all growers 
of Tomatoes, whether for market or private 
nse; one of these consists of that wonder- . fi 
ful qualification that even when laden iy) eH N,V ins 
with fruitit isactually self-support- * 
ing, its thick, stiffand short-jointed stems 
holding the fruit from the ground when 
loaded with Tomatoes. The second point 
that particularly recommends Dwarf 
Champion is its earliness, it having no 
superior in this respect, excepting Earliest 
Advance: but as its fruitis much larger 
than the latter variety it will no doubt 
prove more peniable as an early market 
crop than this heretofore popular extra 
early sort. The above two points are strong 
in themselves, but there are others in ad- 
dition that should recommend Dwarf 
Champion to every reader of this catalogue. 
Its close, upright growth enables it to be 
planted closer than any other sort, conse- 
uently it bids fair to surpass in produc- 
tiveness every other variety, asa half-bushel 
of full-grown Tomatoes can frequently be 
seen on a single vine. In shape it is of 
medium size, the fruit resembling the Acme, 
being ofa purplish pink color, and always 
smooth and symmetrical in form. The 
flesh is solid and of superior quality, while 
on account of its tough skin, it will bear ‘ } a y 
transportation much better than many ‘ a/R NS } < » 
other varieties. Its dwarf, compact growth, VS ae vhs 
attractive appearance, earliness in ripen- co *
