The Gumberland Red Tomato 
Now Offered for Sale for the First Time. 
Notwithstanding we have never before offered this magnificent 
tomato for sale, we have for the past few months been overwhelmed 
with inquiries and orders for the seed, this demand having been 
created by the fact that we last season distributed several thousand 
packages free for trial among our customers, the inquiries for the 
seed coming from them and their neighbors and friends who saw 
the tomatoes during growth. We have received hundreds of 
acknowledgments and unsolicited testimonials similar to those 
published on the margin alongside this page. The painting on 
the back of our book, made from an average specimen taken from 
our patch, shows accurately and without any exaggeration their 
handsome shape and beautiful rich red color, while the small sec- 
tion portrayed by the artist will give some idea of their remarkable 
solidity. They originated a few years ago in Cumberland Co., 
N. J., where they have been grown with great profit by a few 
truckers, from the fact that they have always commanded very 
high prices when shipped to Philadelphia markets; and it was only 
after great persuasion and at high cost that we were able to obtain 
from the originator a few ounces of his selected stock seed to 
grow from. The vines grow vigorously and produce abundantly 
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. 
We have in the past few years introduced several new and very valu- 
able tomatoes, but think the Cumberland Red eclipses them all in 
its magnificent color and form, weight and extraordinary large 
size. 
Prices for 1891: Pkt., 20c.; 3 pkts., 50c.; 7 pkts., $1.00. 
READ THE VERDICT. 
JoHN P. JUNGERS, Makanda, IIl., 
October, 1890, writes: ‘‘ All your seeds 
have given me great satisfaction. Another 
season I will have the largest part of my 
tomato crop made up of the Cumberland 
Red, if you can sell me the seed; I found 
it by far the best of any. They sell better, 
bringing in the market from 15 to 25 cents 
more per 4 bushel basket, than all other 
varieties.”’ 
Tuos. H. Brixton, Chadd’s Ford, Pa., 
the great tomato specialist, writes: 
““Cumberland Red is the best tomato out 
of 51 varieties tested by me this season. 
It ripened 4 days after Dwarf Champion— 
June 20th. One specimen weighed by me 
turned the scale at 25 ounces. Smooth 
as an apple.” 
S. T. Dow er, Vineland, N. J., Sept. 
15, 1890, writes: ‘‘The Cumberland Red 
is an excellent tomato, the best variety I 
have ever raised. Not one of the other- 
six varieties I had this season could come 
up to it in color, shape, size or uniform-- 
ity. I found in the Johnson Dixie the 
finest watermelon I have ever grown.” 
S. C. HaGER, Searights, Pa., October, 
1890, writes: ‘*‘The Cumberland Red 
Tomato is the finest I ever saw; I had 
some that weighed over two pounds.” 
J. E. JENIGAN, Milton, Fla., Oct. 7, 
1890, writes: ‘‘ The new tomato, Cumber- 
land Red, which I had on trial, has given 
the greatest satisfaction; itis the best I 
ever handled. My vines of this variety~ 
put out in May are still bearing, while all 
the other vines are dead.” 
New Giant Podded [Rarrow Pea. 
This grand new pea gave wonderful satisfaction to all who planted it last season. It grows about. 
two feet high, and bears enormous, handsome pods, seven to eight inches in length and well filled with 
large, deliciously flavored, deep green peas from top to the bottom of the pod, as shown in our painting 
on back of this book. They are unequalled in productiveness, require no support, owing to their fine 
dwarf, stocky habit, and are such heavy croppers that we know of no pea from which so large a bulk of 
produce can be obtained from a given number of vines. This variety is much hardier than either the 
Telephone or Stratagem, and can be planted much earlier in consequence. It matures about ten days 
later than our famous Johnson & Stokes’ Selected Extra Early, making a valuable Second Early as well 
as our finest Late Pea. Your garden will not be complete without this grand pea. Tryit. Pkt., 15c.; 
2 pkts., 25c.; pint, 4oc.; qt., 75¢., post-paid ; qt., 60c.; peck, $3.00, by freight or express. 
NICHOLS’ IMPROVED LONG ORANGE CARROT. 
We first procured this stock from Mr. Robert Nichols, one of the most successful market gardeners 
of this city. Its very handsome color and distinct shape is well shown in painting on back of this man- 
ual. The strain is earlier than either the well-known Danvers or Long Orange as usually sold. The 
color is of a deep orange when no thicker than an ordinary lead-pencil, shading to a deep orange red 
when fully grown. The root is perfectly smooth from the shoulder to the extreme tip, and entirely 
devoid of side rootlets in all stages of growth. It grows without any neck whatever, the top is short, and 
this, together with its extreme earliness, admirably fits it for forcing as well as out-door planting. 
We pronounce it the ideal carrot, either for early or late use, being enormously productive and 
highly nutritious for stock when grown as a field crop. Pkt., Ioc.; oz., 15c.; 4% lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25, 
post-paid; 5 lbs., $5.00, by express. 
New Golden-Eyed Wax Hutter Hean. 
We think so highly of this entirely new and distinct Wax Butter Bean that we have also added it 
as one of the subjects of our colored illustrations for 1891. The vine grows vigorously about 1%4 feet 
high, holding the great profusion of handsome pods well off the ground, thus keeping them clean and 
attractive. The pods are flat, larger aud earlier than Golden Wax and almost rust-proof. It is, without. 
doubt, the most valuable of all new sorts for both the family and market garden. Pkt., 15c.; 2 pkts., 
25c.; pint, 4oc.; qt., 75c., post-paid; qt., 60c ; peck, $2.50; bush., $9.00, by freight or express.
