TOnflTOES 



For years we have made a careful study of growing the 

 very best tomato seed. All tomatoes showing the slightest 

 variation from the standard type are rigidly discarded, thus 

 securing the purest possible seed. 



One ounce will produce about thirteen hundred plants. 



ATLANTIO PRIZE TOMATOES, AS THEY APPEAR FOR BALE ON 

 FBUIT STANDS, ETC., DURING THE SPRING MONTHS.

THE GREAT B. B. (BRINTON'S BEST) TOMATO. 



NEW FRENCH MARVEI. TOMATO. 



NEW TOn/ITO-FRENCH M/IRVEL 



This new very early tomato was originated by Messrs. 

 Vilmorin,Andrieux & Co., tlie largest seed growers of France, 

 and from whom we imported our seed stock last spring. In 

 growing it on our New Jersey farm we found it unlike most 

 foreign tomatoes, particularly adapted to the American 

 climate, its magnificent, large, red, smooth fruits being supe- 

 rior in both quality and appearance to most American sorts.
