THE Jmn-A NEW QOLDEN TOn/qTO. 



THE SHAH is a. beautiful iie\v yellow tomato as shown in our illustration above. It is a sport from the celebrated red 

 variety, Turner Hybrid, or l>Iikado, and is identical with it in every respect except in color (which is a dark, waxy yel' 

 low), liaving the same distinct foliage, the same enormous size, solidity and productiveness. Alternate slices of red and 

 golden tomatoes make one of the most ornamental dishes that can be put upon tlie table. Try it. Pkt., lUc; oz., 30c.; ^ 

 lb., 75c. 



THE VOLUNTEER TOn/lTO. 



This tomato originated on Long Island with Messrs. Reed & Funnell, the well-known growers, who procured it by cross- 

 ing Trophy and Canada Victor, and the result of that crossing with Perfection, combining their good qualities without 

 retaining any of their objectionable features. They grow to a large size, averaging six to ten ounces, very smooth and perfect 

 in form, as shown in our illustration above, color bright red, with little core and very early. The quality is very superior 

 for table u-e and canning. Enormously productive, ripening well to the stem. It is very highly spoken of by all who have 

 tested it, and we believe no praise too high for Its merits. Our seed is grown from the originator's stock. Pkt., lOc; oz., 

 35c.; 14 lb., 80c.; lb., S3.00.

 poses; grows very large, of bright red color, slightly rough 

 at the stem end. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 25c.; }4 lb., 65c.; lb., $2.25. 



THE CARDINAX. This tomato was first discovered 

 in a field of Acme, from which it is quite distinct in both 

 fruit and foliage. It i^of vigorous growth, and bears abund- 

 antly throughout the se.ison. The fruit is uniformly smooth 

 and free from ridges, and is of a brilliant cardinal red. The 

 flesh is of the same brilliant color, having no green core and 

 very few seeds. Its evenness of ripening — so many tomatoes 

 in the same stage at the same time — is a marked feature in 

 this variety, as is also the uniformity of the same large size 

 throughout the entire season. It keeps well and is a fine 

 shipper. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 25e.; 34 lb., 60c.; lb., S2.25.

I.IVINGSTON'S FAVORITE. The originator, Mr. 

 Livingston, descril>es this new tomato as follows: "The 

 Favorite has several advantages over my other varieties. It 

 is smoother than the Paragon, and never hollow late in the 

 season. I had tomatoes ripe in July, and the same vines 

 had an abundant crop on them September 22d. Does not 

 crack after ripening, is of a darker red than the Perfection, 

 and is larger than either. It has very few seeds and is very 

 productive." Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; % lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00.

 at the blossom end. It has very little acid and the quality is 

 excellent. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 30e.; 3ilb.,90c.; lb., $3.00.
