LIBERTY BELL, the earliest good tomato. 



For many years we have paid the closest attention to Tomatoes, with the result that many of 

 the most popular varieties now in cultivation were first introduced by us. When we first offered, 

 some years ago, the now famous Atlantic Prize and Market Champion, we supposed perfection had at 

 last been reached in Extra Early Tomatoes ; but from our own tests for the past few years, and the 

 unqualified endorsements of hundreds of customers who have grown it, we believe we have, in the 

 New Liberty Bell, the best, most productive and smoothest first early red tomato ever introduced to 

 the American public. The introduction of the Liberty Bell has already added many dollars of profit 

 to market gardeners, producing, as it does, large quantities of first-class tomatoes ; a week to ten days 

 earlier than any other good tomato. Pkt., loc; oz., 35c.; X lb., |r.oo; lb., $3.50.

The Fortune Tomato. 



In January, 1894, we received from one of 

 our customers a package of tomato seed, with the 

 following letter: " I send you 2)4 ounces of the 

 best early tomato in cultivation, a variety origina- 

 ted by myself, and which I have never given a 

 name, although I have grown it for several years 

 and made thousands of dollars out of it. I a 'Q now 

 77 years of age, and my trucking days arf; about 

 over. I am sure this tomato will prove a boon to 

 market and family gardeners alike, and knowing 

 that from your extensive trade you will distribute 

 it where it will do the most good, I place it en- 

 tirely in your hands." 

 After thorough trials, not 

 only at Floracroft Trial 

 Grounds, but also in the 

 gardens of over five thou- 

 sand of our customers to 

 whom we sent trial pack- 

 ets last season, labelled 

 New Tomato No. 100, 

 we ofi"er it for sale for the 

 first time as the very 

 best second early To- 

 mato in cultivation. Its 

 magnificent large, red 

 fruit, is borne in immense 

 clusters, as shown in our 

 colored photograph on 

 back of this book. Pkt.,
