The Great B. B. (Brinton's Best) Tomato. 



This new variety was origi- 

 nated by Thomas H. Brinton, 

 the veteran tomato specialist, 

 who has probably tested more 

 new tomatoes than any other 

 man in the United States. 

 Since our introduction of it 

 in 1893, it has met with very 

 large sale in all sections, and 

 out of hundreds of unso- 

 licited testimonial letters 

 received, there is not one 

 who does not pronounce it 

 "the very best second 

 early and main crop to- 

 mato they have ever 

 grown." The photograph 

 of an average specimen taken 

 from our patch will give some 

 idea of their magnificent size 

 and handsome smooth shape. 

 The vines grow vigorously 

 and produce abundantl}' 

 until killed by frost. They 

 keep a long time after being 

 pulled, and attract great at- 

 tention owing to their beau- 

 tiful deep red color and 

 uniformly even large size and 

 perfect, smooth shape. Pkt., 

 loc; oz. , 30c.; Jif lb., 90c.', 

 lb., I3.25.

 one to one and one-half pounds will sow an acre. 



EXTRA EAKLV PUKPLE-TOF MILAN. (Strap- 

 Leaved.) This new variety has proven to be the earliest and 

 handsomest flat turnip in cultivation. No other variety can 

 equal it for spring sowing. It is of medium size and fiat 

 shape, witli bright purple top ; pure white flesh, of excellent 

 flavor, never bitter, small top, and a good keeper. It is a 

 verv shv seeder, hence true stock must be always high in

 flavor when young. Pkt., 5c ; oz., 10c. ; 14 lb,, 20c.; lb., 60c. 



The Budlong Turnip. 



This new strain is the result of years of careful 

 selection made by Mr. Budlong, one of the most exten- 

 sive market gardeners of New England. "While of 

 Ruta-Baga form, it well deserves to be classed with 

 the best table turnips, owing to its fine texture and 

 extra high quality. It is of fine half-long shape, as 

 shown in our photograph herewith, pure white skin 

 and flesh, with faint shade of purple on the crown. 

 Medium in size and of very quick growth. This new 

 turnip has had a great local reputation for several years 

 in a few towns in New England, 

 where gardeners would pay almost 

 any price to obtain seed in seasons 

 when scarce. Hundreds of gar- 

 deners, who have grown it on our 

 recommendation, pronounce it the 

 best table turnip for both spring 

 and winter use, of any they have 

 ever had. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c. ; '4^
