DWARF eHRMPlCN TOMRTO. 



Dwarf Champion possesses two qualities that are bound to recommend it to all growers of 

 Tomatoe*. whether for market or private use, one of these consists of that wonderful qualittca- 

 tion that even when laden with fruit it is actually self-supporting; its thick, slitf and short 

 iointed stems holding the fruit from the ground when loaded with Tomatoes. Ihe second point 

 that particularly recommends Dwarf Champion is its earliness. Its fruit is much larger than the 

 extra early sorts, and will no doubt prove more profitable as an early market crop; but there are 

 other points in addition that should recommend Dwarf Champion to every reader of this Cata- 

 logue Its close, upright growth enables it to be planted closer than any other sort, conse- 

 auentlv it bids fair to surpass in productiveness every other variety, as a half-bushel of full grown 

 toes can often be seen on a single vine. In shape it is of medium size, the fruit resembling 



and above all, that great quality of self-supporting its fruit, will cause Dwarf Champion to 

 prove one of the most popular varieties. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 2.5 cts.; % lb., 'o cts.; lb., S2..50.
