LXBEKTY BKLL. Since our introduction of the Liberty 

 Bell Tomato in 1894, it has grown rapidly popular among 

 gardeners, who value it for its great earliness as well as fine 

 quality of its fruit. Its handsome shape is shown in ourillus- 

 tration above. Color is a handsome red, while its uniformly 

 large size and smoothness make it one of the most attractive 

 early market sorts. Pkt., lOc; oz., 30c.; 34 lb., 85c.; lb., 83.00. 



NEW BUCKEYE STATE. This new tomato is one of 

 the largest of all the new sorts, fully one-half larger than the 

 well-known Beauty. It is also a very heavy cropper, the 

 tomatoes being borne in clusters of four to eight fruits. The 

 color is much the same as Beauty, if anything a little darker, 

 very solid, meaty, heavy and of the finest quality. Pkt., 5c.; 

 oz., 20c.; M lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



LIATNGSTON'S AKISTOCKAT. We obtained seed 

 stock of this new variety direct from Mr. Livingston, and find 

 it one of the very best varieties Mr. Livingston has ever put 

 out. It resembles Dwarf Champion in its very erect and 

 strong, heavy vine, which is loaded down with handsome 

 red fruits of magnificent size and finest quality. Pkt., 5c.; 

 oz., 20e.; M lb., 60c.; lb., S2.0O. 



EABlTir MARKET CHAMPION. This valuable 

 tomato originated with a prominent Philadelphia market 

 gardener, who has for many years made the selection and 

 Improvement of the tomato a specialty, He has always had 

 extremely fine, large tomatoes in the market very early, and 

 realized handsome prices for his crop. His aim has always 

 been to combine earliness with large size and perfect, 

 smooth shape. There is no other early purple tomato cul- 

 tivated that will produce more bushels of large, handsome 

 fruit to the acre than the Market Champion. Pkt., lOc; 

 oz., 25c.; J41b.,75c.; lb., $2.75. 



VOLUNTEER. This tomato originated on Long Island. 

 They grow to a large size, averaging six to ten ounces, very 

 smooth and perfect in form ; color bright red, with little core 

 and very early. The quality is very superior for table use 

 and canning. Enormously productive, ripening well to the 

 stem. Pkt., 5c ; oz ., 20c. ; J^lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



THE BRANDYWINE. Since our introduction of it 

 some years ago, this magnificent tomato has met with very 

 large sale in all sections of the country. Many pronounce it 

 the best main crop tomato they have evergrown. The vines 

 grow vigorously and produce abundantly and continuously 

 until killed by frost. Foliage a very dark green. The skin 

 is remarkably tough, and the tomatoes keep a long time after 

 being pulled, making them an excellent market and shipping 

 variety. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; 54 lb., 65c.; lb., $2.25. 



THE IGNOTUM ( Unknown). This new tomato was first 

 discovered at the Michigan Agricultural College, in 1887, by 

 Prof. L. H. Bailey, being a sport from a foreign variety under 

 test. In our tests we find it earlier than Dwarf Champion, 

 growing to very large size and remarkably smooth, regular in 

 size and very solid. It is of handsome deep red color. Pkt., 

 6c.; o z., 20 c.; 34 lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75. 



LIVINGSTON'S BEAUTY. A popular variety. The 

 color is a glossy crimson, with a purple tinge; it grows in 

 clusters of four and five, retaining its large size late in the 

 season; ,very solid, with a tough skin, making it very desir- 

 able for shipping. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; % lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75. 



CHEMIN MARKET. This new tomato was origi- 

 nated by Mr. Chemin, the noted Paris gardener. It has been 

 grown with great success in nearly all sections of the United 

 States, and is distinct in form, being apple-.shaped, and bear- 

 ing its fruits in bunches of ten to twelve. Color bright scar- 

 let, solid and finest flavor. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; % lb., 60e.; lb., 

 $2.25. 



DWARF CHAMPION. A very dis'inct variety. Its 

 close upright growth allows it to be planted closer together 

 than other varieties. The fruit resembles the Acme, is of a 

 purplisli pink color and always smooth and symmetrical in 

 form. It is of medi\nn size and attractive in appearance ; the 

 skin is tough a<id the flesh solid and of fine quality. A very 

 shy seeder. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 2(ic.: M ll>., 60c.; lb., $2.25. 



THE MIKADO OR TURNER HYBRID. This va- 

 riety, also culled the S1600 Tomato, is entirely distinct. 

 The foliage differsfroni other tomatoes, the large leaves being 

 entire and not cut. It is a rank grower, with thick stalks, 

 and enormously productive. The fruit is extra large in size, 

 round, smooth, very thick through and remarkably solid. The 

 average weight of the tomatoes is from twelve to eighteen 

 ounces. They ripen up evenly and are entirely free from 

 core. The skin is thin, but rather tough, consequently the 

 tomatoes keep in fine condition much longer than most other 

 varieties. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; M lb., 60c.; lb., $2.25. 



THE PEACH TOMATO. Almost identical with some 

 forms of peaches, both in shape and color. The fruit is 

 produced in clusters, is very solid, with red interior, and red,. 

 l)inkish and green blush on the outside skin, which can be 

 easily peeled, like the skin of a peach. For preserving is 

 hard to beat. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; 34 lb., 60c.; lb., $2.25.
