QUICKSURE — THK BEST SECOND EABLY TOMATO. 



THE QUICKSURE TOMATO 



With the advent of the Santa Rosa Tomato this year, we 

 claim to have introduced the three most valuable tomatoes 

 in cultivation. With the Sparks' Earliana for first early, 

 Quicksure for second early and Santa Rosa (described 

 on page 11) for main crop, no grower need be without a 

 succession of magnificent tomatoes throughout the entire 

 season. The Quieksure, which we first introduced in 190U, 

 was originated by Mr. Howard Russ, a well-known trucker 

 of Burlington County, N. J. Color blight red ; very solid, 

 heavy and wonderfully prolific of very large, fine fruit. 

 Pkt,, 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 



QUARTER CENTURY TOMATO 



Originated by Dr. Van Fleet, horticultural editor of the 

 Rural New Yorker. It might be called an Improved Dwarf 

 Aristocrat, its erect bushy vines and fine red fruits closely 

 resembling that variety. It is very earl v and has proven a 

 valuable acquisition. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; H lb., 81.00; lb., 

 $3.50. 



THE MATCHLESS TOMATO 



A great favorite for both market and family use. Pro- 

 duces uniformly large, bright red fruit throughout the season. 

 Flesh very solid and heavy, free from core, and will keep in 

 good condition for a week to 10 davs after being taken from 

 the vine. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb'., 85c; lb., $3.00. 



TOMATO 5EED 

 FROn SELECTED FRUIT 



If Johnson & Stokes can claim any special reputation for one vegetable 

 over another, it is on their tomato seed. For years we have been leaders in 

 putting out varieties that have been great improvements over anything that 

 has been previously offered. 



The Atlantic Prize, first introduced by us in 1889, has been, up until the intro- 

 duction of Sparks' Earliana, the standard very early tomato for market garden- 

 ers from Maine to Texas. 



In the Great B. B. (Brinton's Best) we introduced one of the very finest 

 standard and canning crops, but not until the advent of the Sparks' Earliana did 

 our reputation for new varieties in tomatoes reach its climax. Every trucker 

 and almost every seedsman in the land will admit that in Sparks' Earliana we 

 have one of the greatest and most successful vegetable novelties that has ever 

 been introduced. 



One ounce will produce about 1,300 plants. 



CHALK'S EARLT JEWEL TOMATO 



A good second early sort. On our trial grounds it was two weeks later 

 than Sparks' Earliana and not as productive, but of good size and quality. 

 Recommended for a second early sort. Pkt., 10c.;oz.,50c; % lb., $1.35 ; lb., $5.00. 



ATLANTIC PRIZE TOMATO 



First introduced by usinl889. Thousands of acres are now annually planted 

 from Maine to Texas. The vines grow strong, stiff and very rapidly, setting the 

 crown fruit when very young. Each vine produces from sixtv to eighty large, 

 perfect tomatoes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 



NEW STONE TOMATO 



This is deservedly the most popular main crop tomato for market and can- 

 ning, owing to its large size and great solidity. When grown from properly 

 selected seed the fruits are very uniform, smooth and of handsome bright scar- 

 let color. Flesh meaty and fine in flavor. Our strain is unsurpassed. Pkt., 5c; 

 oz., 20c; V± lb., 50c; lb., $1.75, postpaid; by express or freight, lb., $1.65; 5 lbs. 

 and over, $1.60 per lb. 



THE SUCCESS TOMATO 



A new scarlet-fruited tomato, somewhat resembling our 

 Great B. B., or Brinton's Best. It is of very large size, hand- 

 some, smooth and of very fine quality. Fruit sets in clusters 

 and ripens second early. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; % lb.,$1.00;lb., 

 $3.50. 



LIVINGSTON'S MAQNUS TOMATO 



An improvement on the old Acme and Beauty, which it 

 resembles in color, being thicker, heavier and more solid 

 than either. Fruit in clusters, ripening evenly and matur- 

 ing quickly. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 



TRUCKERS' FAVORITE TOMATO 



A very large purple tomato, of superior quality; very 

 solid and free from cracks or rot. Verv popular in Northern 

 New Jersey. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; % lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 



THE ENORMOUS TOMATO

 very deep through. Borne two and three in a cluster; 

 smooth, solid and brilliant scarlet. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % 

 lb., 75c; lb., $2.75. 



THE QREAT B. P. (BRINTON'S PEST) 



This is one of the very best for second early and main 

 crop. The vines grow vigorously and produce abundantly 

 until killed by frost. Fruit of deep red color, uniformly 

 even, large size and perfectly smooth. It will keep in good 

 marketable condition for two weeks after picking. Pkt., 10c; 

 oz., 30c; Y± lb., 85c; lb., $3.00.
