New Fortune Tomato 



The Best Second Early Large Red Tomato 



In January, 1S94, we received from one of 

 our cnstouiers a package of tomato seed, with 

 the following letter : "I send you 2^ 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- 

 imr 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 e.xten- 

 sive trade you will distribute it where it will do 

 the most good, 1 place it in your hands." 



After tliorough trials by ourselves and 

 among hundreds of our market garden custom- 

 ers we are convinced that it is the very best 

 second early Tomato yet introduced, with its 

 mairniticent large red fruit, borne in immense 

 thicklv set clusters. Pkt., lOc; oz., 35c.; i lb.,
