Adantic Prize 



The Most Popular First Early- 

 Tomato 



Siuce we first introduced our At- 

 lantic Prize Tomato, in 1889, it has 

 rapidly popularized itself, and has 

 now become the leading first early 

 tomato in cultivation. Thousands 

 of acres are now annually planted 

 in this variety from Maine to Texas. 

 The vines grow strong, stiff and 

 very rapidly, setting the crown fruit 

 when quite young, the buds appear- 

 ing before the plant is four inches 

 high. The fruit is borne in immense 

 clusters. Each vine produces from 

 sixty to eighty large perfect toma- 

 toes, very solid and of the finest 

 quality, being unusually free from 

 core and seeds. Another great feat- 

 ure, besides extreme earliness, and 

 one which must prove of great ad- 

 vantage to all tomato growers and 

 market gardeners, is that when first 

 fruiting it ripens more evenly and 

 abundantly than any other tomato 

 grown. It is by far the most valu- 

 able first early market variety ever 

 introduced. Pkt., loc. ; oz., 25c.; 

 X lb., 65c.; lb., $2 25.

New Tomato No. 1 05,c.rdThe Money Maker 



We distributed several thousand trial packages among our customers last season, of this New First 

 Early Purple Tomato. All reports thus far received are highly favorable, and many of our best market 

 gardeners agree in pronouncing it by far the earliest and best Purple Tomato they have ever grown, 

 surpassing the well-known Acme, Beauty, and others of its class in handsome form, quality and pro- 

 ductiveness. We have grown a small stock of the seed and will ofifer it at the following prices so long 

 as the supply lasts : Pkt., 15c.; oz., 60c.; 2 ozs., f i.oo. 



New Fortune Tomato^ 



The Best 

 Second Early 



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 

 originated 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 am now 77 years of age, and my truck- 

 ing days are about over. I am sure this tomato 

 will prove a boon to market and family garden- 

 ers 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 it last sea- 

 son, we ofifer it for sale as 

 the very best second 

 early Tomato in cultiva- 

 tion, following ten days 

 after Atlantic Prize, with 

 its magnificent large red 

 fruit, borne in immense 

 clusters, as shown in our 

 photograph alongside.
